smrn Posted August 12, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 12, 2013 This cruiser new to NCL has a couple of questions. Any help would be appreciated. 1) The pizza on Carnival is free and available 24 hours. Is this the same on NCL? 2) What is there to do in Grand Bahamas? 3) Is there a fee for the food at Longboard (wings etc)? 4) What is the room service menu like? Similar to Carnival's? 5) Is the Ultimate drink package worth it? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest trying it at the buffet and seeing if you like it before you pay for one. On the Jewel I thought it was really good. I ate a bunch. :p The Star put out the same one every day because no one ate it (along with a lot of other items), so I didn't even try it. It looked pretty awful. The other ships fell someplace in between. Generally they're pretty good. 3. Longboard is free. 4. The room service menu is pretty basic. Some items are free, some cost you. After a certain hour they all cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mertziekakes Posted August 12, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 12, 2013 We really liked the pizza on the Pearl and were happy to pay the $5. Ate some from the buffet and good, too, but the room service pizza was a lot better. Well worth the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevCruise Posted August 12, 2013 #6 Share Posted August 12, 2013 You can also get pizza at the Italian restaurant onboard at lunch for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gra2172 Posted August 12, 2013 #7 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I am very excited to try another line. Do you two have any hints or suggestions for me? Well, not so much a hint.. but outside by the pool is a smaller buffet that serves hot dogs and burgers and the such. The Star had an ice cream stand where they would give you hand dipped ice cream. The main buffet thats inside had a soft serve machine. Also, the smaller buffet thats outside also serves breakfast. Again, this buffet is not as large as the main buffet, but if you want a quick bite,, better ice cream or you like smaller breakfasts like scrambled eggs, cereals and fruits, its kind of a "hidden" gem. Most of NCLs ships have some sort of smaller outside buffet that serves food most of the day. Their locations can vary tho. If the main buffets closed, check the one outside. They are rarely closed at the same time. Also, keep an eye out for the BBQ grill by the pool. You can get some fresh off the grill items like corn cobs or chicken. Again, not main buffet items. Its not every day, but its listed in the dailies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackparts Posted August 12, 2013 #9 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Longboards does have fantastic wings. They are LOADED with sauce, had to order mine plain or real lite on sauce. Slow service sometimes but worth the wait. TV's are great at night for sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow service sometimes but worth the wait. TV's are great at night for sports. I found the service in Longboards to be blazing fast. Probably depends on time of day. Wings at 3am were excellent!
