Dining
Norwegian Cruise Line has made a serious impact on the cruising industry with their unique take on onboard dining: Freestyle Dining. Freestyle Dining is just the beginning of Freestyle Cruising, and features a host of options ranging from casual to upscale, ethnic to traditional, four-course to on-the-go. Each venue allows you to do things your way, and ensures that each dining experience will be exactly as you envisioned it.
The main dining rooms onboard your Norwegian Cruise Line vacation will surprise and delight you. On each ship, there are two (and in some cases, even three) dining rooms to savor the Norwegian way of onboard dining. With diverse options that range over a host of different culinary influences, you may find yourself feasting on a steak in The Manhattan Room or pork tenderloin at the Grand Pacific (depending on your cruise ship). Freestyle Dining means no set mealtimes, so you’re welcome to sit down and enjoy your meal at any time you please! Main Dining Rooms are complimentary.
When you choose to dine at one of Norwegian’s buffets, you’ll be able to fill up plate after plate of succulent fare, coming in a range of forms—from French toast for breakfast to create-your-own burgers for dinner. Some ships even offer a kids version featuring menus and options for younger cruisers only! These complimentary options are located indoors, in different areas depending on the ship.
Another complimentary option that may be available during your Norwegian Cruise Line vacation is the outdoor buffet. Enjoy a superb meal: choose from ready-to-cook omelets, waffles, fresh fruits, pasta and more in a buffet-style service where you can enjoy the cuisine and delightful weather.
Immerse yourself in a spectacle during lunch or dinner when you chose the Spiegel Tent on your next cruise.
