NCL is NOT McDonald's. In most MDRs, there are about 8 entree choices, 3 permanent and 5 different ones each night. Now, NCL wants to expand their volume to 15 choices, including the bogus "custom pasta" dish. Same choices every night.
NCL argues they will be able to improve the entree quality by having a permanent, set menu. By doubling the number of entrees choices? That seems a bit overwhelming for a chef to deal with every night.
Sure, this system works great for McDonald's. Lots of permanent choices for burgers, fish and chicken sandwiches, etc. But, this isn't why you go on a cruise, especially one longer than seven days? Do YOU eat at McDonald's every night? Or, at ANY restaurant, for that matter?
Just another way of trying to nickel and dime you to death when you go on a cruise. If you don't go to a specialty restaurant on a two-week cruise, you'd have to order EVERY entree to avoid repeating yourself!
