Asian Restaurant now free on Star

[martyandjanice]

I was just reading an article here on cruise critic that NCL is making the Asian restaurant on the Star part of the complimentary package. I wonder if they will follow suit on the rest of the ships.

Here is the article:

Yep, this was discussed here already last week when the website was updated. I wonder why it took NCL a week to make up a press release.

Hot Stone plate not free. $10.00 per plate plus 18%gratuity

Sushi A La Carte not free also with 18% gratuity.

 

 

I ordered a Hot Stone plate along with the complimentary food and was only charged gratuity on the $10.00 hot stone plate.

Thanks. I thought I had read something about the Asian restaurant becoming included but then couldn't find it again.

I believe that in the near future nothing is going to be free thats the future

The whole restaurant is now free as opposed to paying $15 per person in the past. The charge is for sushi and hot stone, same as before. Sushi was never free. So some see taking an upcharge restaurant and making it free as a negative??? How is this a negative?

It took a week to make up the press release because they fired the PR Department, or a lot of it according to an article a few days ago

Yep, but this change was known already before that and they did get the website updated in a timely manner. ;)

That's good news.

Finally some good news. Although the service we've had in there has been slow and that was when the place was maybe 1/3 full. What will it be like now?

 

The part I didn't get was the moving sushi belt. That has been in there for as long as I can recall on the right when you enter the area. That was for a fee though.

I'm about to cruise on the Star, but this doesn't effect me either way as I don't eat Asian food. We have heaps of Asian restaurants here - it's where you go to eat a very cheap meal. Rice, veggies, with a small amount of meat wouldn't have cost the cruise line much! Unsure why they charged in the first place.
