Nicely done, ladies! The Encore is still on my list to sail with, but I was on the Bliss in November. I loved Cagney's and Los Lobos, and was unimpressed by Q. Glad that I selected Cagney's over Ocean Blu, as my last selection. Keep the great content coming.

I’m an avid NCL cruiser and 100% agree with your assessments. In the new Prima Class ships I’m in love with Indulge Food Hall as well as the new Mediterranean Seafood specialty restaurant Palomar where I had possibly one of the 10 best meals ever! Thank you for the great content!

Definitely! Great tip - We think we just ordered wrong 🥩❤️🍽

I was on the Prima last year. I quite often ate alone as my cruise mates had no taste in food. Indulge was my favorite restaurant. I was comfortable eating there alone, the food was wonderful & varied and I got to try things I'd never had before. I am now addicted to bacon wrapped Medjool dates stuffed with bleu cheese. Wish I had tried items from Q. Sometimes, I had to join others at a larger table which I was OK with. Then they might leave & a family would ask to sit there & they were always nice to me. I'll be on the Encore next month. Would like to try Le Bistro but I don't think my buds will go for that.

Love your informative videos and I have a couple questions I know you said you went back to Food Republic on your own We went on an Alaska cruise where they took our specialty dining out of our cheaper restaurant and ended paying for. Cagney's how do I avoid that? Unlike you sweet ladies I am not a dessert girl and I saw another video where he opted out of the dessert at Cagney's and they gave him an appetizer instead ever hear of that?

We used our dining credit for Food Republic. But, if you want to save it for a more expensive restaurant just let them know you don’t want to use dining credits for your meal. We did that at Pinchos on the Escape and it was no problem. We just paid a La carte for what we ordered. As for the substitution, I would talk to my waiter upfront. Usually they are very accommodating. I know people who have gotten a second app instead of salad course. I am sure they would do the same for your dessert. Although, if it’s in Cagney’s that OMG butterscotch cheesecake was the best dessert on the whole ship 🚢😁 it was pretty rich though if you are not a dessert lover

We recommend letting the cruise line know about your dietary needs before your cruise. They’re pretty accommodating. That said, we would also suggest the Cauliflower Steak at Ocean Blue. And, Teppanyaki has a vegetarian Udon and a vegetarian Teriyaki. NCL suggests the main dining rooms for the most options. But, of course, who doesn’t love a special dinner on vacation! You can see the menus for the specialty dining restaurants ahead of time at this link. www.ncl.com/cruise-ship/encore/whats-on-board/specialty-dining Hope you enjoy your cruise!🚢 Let us know how it goes when you get back 😁

Is Food Republic the Japanese restaurant? My daughter and I will be on the Encore in a few weeks and she said she wants to eat in the Japanese restaurant? I don't know which restaurant she is,talking about. Thank you

@corefouradventures2861

We hope you have an amazing cruise! There are two restaurants that your daughter may be talking about: Food Republic or Teppanyaki. Teppanyaki is the Japanese hibachi style restaurant where they cook the food in front of you. It’s entertaining and we highlighted this restaurant in our First Time Cruise on the NCL Escape video if you’d like to check it out. There is an extra charge for that restaurant because of the entertainment factor. Food Republic features global cuisine with Japanese sushi and other dishes. Very delicious! Thanks so much for watching - we sooo appreciate it!

Can someone share a dinner in a specialty restaurant? Can two people go in and just order one meal and share it?

@corefouradventures2861

2 ай бұрын

Although I have heard other people say they can, the official word from NCL is no. You cannot share a specialty dining credit. They recommend getting a box and taking the leftovers to your room. Hope this helps!

Is there anything lighter on any menu?

@corefouradventures2861

3 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! There were certainly some lighter options depending on the restaurant. For example, Ocean Blue focuses on seafood, which can be grilled. There is a great website called freestyletravelers.com where you can access all the current NCL menus to see for yourself. Just know whatever you order the portions will be large!! Hope you have a great cruise!

Very nice reviews. Having enjoyed BBQ in TX, NC, CA and KC...we were not gambling on this ship. Ocean Blue was a disappointment for us as well. Food Republic was fun. Some good variety and YES..the nachos! Not sure the value is there though. Cagneys was decent. The French onion soup throughout this ship is tasty. Definitely trying mexican next June. The Italian ala carte was very loud and not very special.

In 2019 on a 7-Day cruise with the free of sea they used to offer three visits in dining package specialty restaurants then they reduced it to two, then they reduced it to one, my next prediction they will offer only a one-time 50% off coupon. Then eliminate after that
