fstuff1 Posted September 28, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2022 The buffet Garden Cafe was renamed Surfside Cafe. Teppanyaki was rename Hasuki. And it could be argued that OceanBlue was renamed Palomar. At a minimum, why rename the Garden Cafe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karaboudjan Posted September 28, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 28, 2022 There's no garden there? I always thought that didn't make a lot of sense. Surfside seems more nautical. As for Teppanyaki, that is a style of cooking, so again it seems odd for a name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotownVoice Posted September 28, 2022 #8 Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) Teppanyaki says more to me about what they do than those other names. It's similar to a Japanese steak house. "Teppanyaki, often confused with hibachi, is a post-World War II style of Japanese cuisine that uses an iron griddle to cook food. The word teppanyaki is derived from teppan, the metal plate on which it is cooked, and yaki, which means grilled, broiled, or pan-fried. In Japan, teppanyaki refers to dishes cooked using a teppan, including steak, shrimp, okonomiyaki, yakisoba and monjayaki." Wikipedia Does this decor look anything like a Garden Cafe or something Sea related? Edited September 28, 2022 by MotownVoice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also renamed Wasabi to Nama sushi And you can argue that the Manhattan Room becomes Hudsons and Taste/Save becomes Commodore (Manhattan and Taste having been around for over a decade since the Epic).

FLcruisergrl Posted September 29, 2022 #10 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Why not? Keep it fresh! It’s great that Teppanyaki finally got an actual name. The Palomar menu is nothing like OB, so why should it have the same name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_sobe Posted September 29, 2022 #11 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I like the new names. Its time to change things up. So many NCL ships are so similar. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaShark Posted September 29, 2022 #12 Share Posted September 29, 2022 To be technical, the venues on Prima were not "renamed" the names given to these venues are the only ones that they ever had. I had thought that this topic was vetted by the OP when we had the discussion on why the Blue Lagoon was renamed to O'Sheehan's and then renamed to The Local. Sometimes it seems that the OP likes to find inane topics in an effort to generate a thread with a high post count vs providing useful information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcipjr Posted September 29, 2022 #14 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Wasn’t the Garden Café called the Market Café on the older ships? It changes names every so often. If NCL didn’t change the names, people would be complaining here that they’re bored of eating at the same venues on every ship. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same argument could be made when that change happened. Before the Epic the MDRs and Asian restaurants changed all the time. I may be wrong, but I think that all earlier ships have different names for the MDRs (although maybe there are a couple of Grand Pacific’s?). The aft MDRs have names like Versailles, Summer Palace, Tzars Palace etc and the mid ship are Aqua, Magenta, Indigo etc. The Asian restaurants are often “gardens”, Lotus Garden, Jasmine Garden, etc or another Asian sounding name (Bamboo, Chin Chin, Ginza). It was only after the Epic that names for MDRs being fairly similar with most being Manhattan, Taste and Savor, but as you say there was at least one Tropicana (although Manhattan came first. Garden Cafe has been very consistent though. I’m not sure of any buffets not called that other than on the POA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad about palamar and ocean blue. from the description, thought they were the same. didnt know completely different menus. Yeah, why rename Garden Cafe when they've been consistent throughout? At least with O'Sheenan's, there was a logical reason why it was renamed to The Local on newer ships. (O'sheenan was no longer CEO) I created a thread about that a long time ago. It was also the first time i started putting people on ignore. ☠️ (There are some sad negative people on this board that add nothing to a thread with their useless posts.)

Personally (and stuff like this is very subjective) I like the new names. They seem a bit more contemporary. I don't see anything negative or "inane" in the OP bringing up a topic for light, pleasant conversation. Even here on CC there is no need for every thread to turn into an obnoxious controversy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure. Social skills seem to be in decline generally and I have seen posts on other travel sites indicating that some folks on CC are remarkably rude and they will not post here for that reason.
