travelswithfriends Posted April 5, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 5, 2017 We chose the unlimited drink package and the dining option for our perks. I know our dining is limited to 3 specialty restaurants. Opinions on "Not to be missed" restaurants or "I wish I had chose something different"?

Rare BirdTravels Posted April 5, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 5, 2017 The most popular restaurant is Teppanyaki followed by Cagney's. Both will sell out quickly pre-cruise and onboard. We book at least 2 dinners at Cagney's on every cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonmom Posted April 5, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 5, 2017 How serious is it when the restaurants 'sell out'? Does that just mean you have to wait to be seated, or does it mean that there is literally no way to walk up and get a table?

karenpstok Posted April 5, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I LOVED Cagneys. The steaks were amazing. You can book as soon as you get on the ship in the comedy club if you have not reserved online or on the tv screen in your room or on the big screens around the ship. Book when you board though so you get the days/times you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that just mean you have to wait to be seated, or does it mean that there is literally no way to walk up and get a table? It is very possible that restaurants will sell out completely and you won't be able to get in at all. If you want to be sure of getting in somewhere then it's best to book. It can actually vary from cruise to cruise, so there is no way of saying for sure whether any restaurant will or won't sell out on your particular cruise.

quaker77 Posted April 5, 2017 #6 Share Posted April 5, 2017 We have 2 of 3 speciality dinning booked. Online there is no more option for us but we wait onbard to be able to book the last one. I've called Ncl and they said that some hours and dates are only available on boarding day. The online portion has access to some % and the rest is release onboard. But maybe someone knows more about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe someone knows more about this They are correct, in that a proportion of bookings are not available online, and are released onboard. In my experience there have never been whole dates which aren't available, and early on pretty well every time is available (although that can depend on party size), so I think they got that bit slightly wrong. You should have no problem getting reservations on boarding day, but do it early to be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megansdad1 Posted April 5, 2017 #12 Share Posted April 5, 2017 you will have a fabulous meal in any of the restaurants. Cagny's is a must do for me. La Cucina is underrated IMHO. They had my favorite dish there, Osso Bucco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobaLouFTL Posted April 5, 2017 #13 Share Posted April 5, 2017 We've always shied away from La Cucina because of the reviews. Think we'll give it a try this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMTOMRN331 Posted April 5, 2017 #14 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Cagney's and Le Bistro. We also find teppanyaki to be a nice treat, the meat is always tender and flavorful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac4YYZ Posted April 5, 2017 #16 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Bayamo on Escape was great. Always enjoy Le Bistro and Cagney's. La Cucina can be pretty good too. I agree that the osso bucco is very tasty. The new Mexican restaurant on Dawn was very good too.

snownow Posted April 5, 2017 #17 Share Posted April 5, 2017 We were told 30-40% hold back. our last cruise we had friends join us. They were able to change and add the other party for all 4 nights of our specialty dining with out an issue. We changed them right when we got on board. We have 2 of 3 speciality dinning booked. Online there is no more option for us but we wait onbard to be able to book the last one. I've called Ncl and they said that some hours and dates are only available on boarding day.

snownow Posted April 5, 2017 #18 Share Posted April 5, 2017 #1 Teppanyaki. Fun, very good food. If you have kids go. #2 Cagney's , good food, great service. #3 Moderno, Meat is good, grilled pineapple is amazing. As far as free dining, we like The Manhattan room, the live music has been very good. We passed on La Cucina the menu and reviews it seemed a waste Bayamo, the first trip it was awesome, the second trip it was horrible. We are going to pass this time around We chose the unlimited drink package and the dining option for our perks. I know our dining is limited to 3 specialty restaurants.
