Thank you for posting these in an easy-to-reference format! Out of curiosity, were the MDR dessert menus posted in advance either outside the dining rooms or in the app?

They were not posted. And I didn't go looking for them,,, sorry.

Thank you

Interested reading but I wonder just how long they will remain the same before being changed.   I hope they are available on all ships.

[BirdTravels]

Historically NCL uses the introduction of a new ship to roll out a new set of menus. The next new ship scheduled for release is the Prima next year. What’s new set of Menus is released, it takes about a year to roll those menus out across the fleet.

Hope they keep the Cordon Bleu last two times it was very good!

Its hard to find in my neck of the woods!!
Wish they would bring back teriyaki chicken on a stick I ordered those for my entree when they had them

[bonniboo1]

Thank you so much for doing this for us!

Yum, my mouth is watering.  Glad to see I can still have my cream of wheat for breakfast (with a tablespoon of brown sugar - yum!).  A lot of people might disagree but I've also had the best, creamy, buttery tasting scrambled eggs on a cruise ship - if you order them right out of the pan.  Glad to see Prime Rib still available but love a lobster night. We hardly ever eat in the specialty restaurants because there is plenty of selection in the MDR's.

Super pdf, thanks for your effort.

@BirdTravels I thought I saw where you had shared the room service menu, but the forum search isn't yielding any results. Have you got that?

Have a booking on Prima so very interested to know what their dining and menus will be like.  Thanks for info!

Thank you for the menus, it really does help to plan.  I love breakfast in bed, there is no better way to start the day for me….  I see that the little card for the door has only 3 of the full meal options but the separate menu you show includes additional items like avocado toast and steak and eggs— are they on the backside of the card or do you have to call for those?

I'm so confused.  I booked a club balcony suite and asked elsewhere ...I was told room service was only free for breakfast but on these menus it says no charge for suite guests? Am I understanding correctly that room service is free?  Also, regardless of whether or not there is a charge for the room service, are you expected to tip or is that included in your automatic gratuities

That's an odd and rude response to someone who tried to assist you.  Not sure how you couldn't get information that you asked about in that FAQ.

A Club Balcony suite is NOT a true suite, it is a glorified Balcony room.  Room Service IS included free for HAVEN SUITES guests!  (see below)

 

***Also, yes DO tip the person who delivers your room service!!!

 

Is Norwegian Cruise Line now charging for room service?

Norwegian Cruise Line has introduced an enhanced room service menu. The new menu offers an expanded selection for breakfast, in addition to a wider variety of options available 24 hours. Individual items on the menu remain available on a complimentary basis and a convenience charge of up to $9.95 USD will be added to each order placed (Morning coffee, continental breakfast and orders placed by guests sailing in The Haven will not attract a charge)*. A 20% gratuity and beverage service charge will be added for non-complimentary beverages and special occasion items. Room service is one of up to 29 dining options offered across the fleet, and guests continue to be able to enjoy a wide array of complimentary choices onboard 24 hours a day.

*Prices subject to change.

thank you!!!

[Happycrafter123]

So if you are paying the delivery fee plus 20% gratuity on it, do you also tip the delivery person? If so what dollar range?

In case you're wondering about other ships, just off Breakaway and they followed the same order and menus as posted here.

So after review of menus I guess they don’t have lobster or shrimp anymore

For a while, there was no lobster at all. Now it is only in specialty restaurants. NCL discontinued lobster in the MDR back in 2016.
