kool77 Posted March 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 21, 2017 One of my favorite things about the Blue Lagoon on Norwegian ships was to get some chicken wings, and bring them to our balcony for a late night snack. I believe that O'Sheehans has replaced the Blue Lagoon. On the Dawn, anyway. I have read some recent posts about NCL no longer allowing take away from O'Sheehans on the Dawn. We are planning to board in August. Does anyone have any info regarding chicken wings to go? Thanks, Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMLady Posted March 21, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 21, 2017 O'Sheehans does not allow takeout at all, not even from your unfinished meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyh85 Posted March 22, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Not to discount anyone else's experience, but on the Escape last January, I never had an issue getting late night takeout from O'Sheehan's. It was always a great way to end my night and soak up some alcohol - nachos and chicken wings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee & Chilli Posted March 22, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I was advised no takeout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcoy Posted March 22, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I wonder if you were in a suite if your butler could arrange or get it for you. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryarger Posted March 22, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I wonder if you were in a suite if your butler could arrange or get it for you. Don Yes, absolutely. They don't have carry out containers, but for Suite/Haven guests, they will have your butler take whatever you want up to your room. For others, I wouldn't ask for 'takeout' but rather a cover for your plate so you can take it back to your room. I've heard that has better results.

darlene62 Posted March 22, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 22, 2017 This has been debated a lot here regarding O'Sheehan's.....I have been on 2 cruises on the Breakaway in the past year 1 1/2. I have seen what i can only say is take out boxes given to people for the "light" fare .....people standing in line for pub fare and not table service, people sitting in the seats overlooking the atrium and bringing food from O'Sheehan's.to the those seats with no issues from staff. And I have seen wrapped plates to go leaving the restaurant. I have not seen anyone complaining or being told that they couldn't take food out but that doesn't meant it didn't happen. I did eat more meals at O'sheehan's than the other places because it was quicker and I hate long drawn out dinners and buffets do not appeal to me. I loved their prime rib and bbq rib dinners.I have never seen someone told no for take out ....but cant say it didnt happen. Some of the hostesses/host/managers there were more flexible.

On the Gem this past December and they would not allow you to leave with food no matter what. Not ordering to go and not by covering your plate.

cruzincouple_808 Posted March 22, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Just got off of the Jewel on Sunday. I was able to ask them for a cover for my food, and they had no problem letting me take my food.....I did this 4 out if the 7 nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonbeam Posted March 22, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Note that if the ship is operating under any Noro codes (not just red) they are far more strict. The official policy is food from any other venues than the buffet should only be handled by room service or a butler, but I have found a nice request will get reasonable accommodation.

FreestyleNovice Posted March 22, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 22, 2017 On Epic: No, not even when you're in the Haven, had to order through the butler. Type of food wasn't even discussed (we were looking for some snacks/finger food), hostess said no to all takeout orders. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmurchake Posted March 22, 2017 #13 Share Posted March 22, 2017 On my Jan 2016 sailing on the Getaway we did takeout from O'Sheehans a few times. On my Jan 2017 sailing on the Getaway we tried a couple times to do the same and were told we could not takeout each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samiam0403 Posted March 22, 2017 #16 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I'm the same - the chicken wings to go late night are the best! I was told no on carry out on Epic in January. I may or may not have just waited until the waitress went back in to the kitchen and walked out with my wings. Maybe. :') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncklhaus Posted March 23, 2017 #22 Share Posted March 23, 2017 On my Jan 2016 sailing on the Getaway we did takeout from O'Sheehans a few times. On my Jan 2017 sailing on the Getaway we tried a couple times to do the same and were told we could not takeout each time. We had the exact same experience on Breakaway. No problem in January 2016, but a big no in January 2017. But our Butler was able to bring us wings from O'Sheehan's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartan cruiser Posted March 23, 2017 #23 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I think uneamie has the best idea. Sit down and order your food. After you're served discreetly pick up the paper liner holding the wings and put it into the container. Put it back in your bag and walk away. It will look like you just finished your food. If you don't ask they can't say no. Service is usually not that good in O'Sheehans that they'll even notice. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
