greatestvalue Posted August 4, 2021 #76 Share Posted August 4, 2021 On the Onda menu they show Antipasta Pasta - & Secondi Antipasta =Appetizer? Pasta = Entree ? or is Pasta considered a side dish in this restaurant? Secondi = Entree ? How do you order to adhere to the Specialty Dinner promotion. (1) Item from Antipasta) and then 1 item from either Pasta or Secondi? Or do you order from both Pasta & Secondi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall having what amounted to a 4-course meal at La Cucina and not paying extra. I believe I had the salami plate, ravioli of some kind, sea bass and then Tiramisu for dessert. Onda may be similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how it fits into NCL's pricing scheme, but in a traditional Italian meal pasta is served between the antipasto and main course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stuff was so freaking good. Its been on the menu for years and I always eat it. Also the linguini and clams is gone. Glad I got one of the last dishes last year 😉 I'm hoping this is all just a mistake. I've been looking forward to those banana tartlets. I was also very unhappy when they took Crab Benedict off the breakfast menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onda may be similar. i agree it might be four courses, or they might be flexible where you could have the pasta as a main or a half-sized pasta as an appetizer, I think I remember having that option in La Cuchina MANY years ago on one of the Jewel class ships. Thinking more, I think we shared a pizza, had the 1/2 sized pastas, then mains. Edited August 4, 2021 by psac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not crazy about the new Haven lunch menu though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Specialty Dining Pacakge allows you to order multiple appetizers, multiple sides, one entrée, and dessert. Regardless of what the waiter "suggests", you can order as many antipasta and pasta you want 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Traditionally, you'd start with the Appetizer, and then have the primi which is usually pasta or risotto. Then you'd have a soup, followed by your main (secondi) with sides. After that, it's the salad course, then cheeses and fruits, and then a sweet dessert. And then, of course, coffee and liqueur. 😃 I've been wondering this myself about La Cucina. No point doing the italian restaurant if we need to fit it into an American three courses. But if I can have a proper full meal? SIGN ME UP.

These menus, I believe, are coming from those that are on the Encore, which does not have a La Cucina. They would have to come from someone on the Jade, or IF it restarts the Gem.

If they can create "interest" by adding a upcharge, and get people to pay more for it, then they will. Lobster has been an upcharge items on most specialty menus since 2016. Is there any specialty restaurant that does not have upcharge for lobster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Ocean Blue's earlier menus had Lobster without up-charge. And while we are at it, I'm still unhappy that they charge extra for Crab Cakes😒 I still love this restaurant and will be booking it.

DaisyGoldberg Posted August 5, 2021 #94 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Le Bistro looks amazing - will probably do more than once, and Cagneys looks much improved, but all three Haven meal menus are worse for me than what they had before. (My mom will appreciate the lobster so I will still accompany her.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastcat Posted August 5, 2021 #95 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) No major changes to Ocean Blue when compared to the 2019 menu. The regular shrimp cocktail was replaced by mushroom arancini, and there are slight changes in the side dishes. And hey, the grilled cheese & tomato soup has migrated from Cagney’s to The Local! (okay, it was already there, but NCL has given up on that appetizer at Cagney’s) Edited August 5, 2021 by coastcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
