Thank you all for your replies. I guess having leftovers in the cabin refrigerator might just come in handy! Happy, safe, travels.

New HA cruiser. My husband and I will be on the Koningsdam this Nov., 2023. We do not have HIA and I have a question that I have not seen addressed before. We are interested in paying for specialty dining in Tamarind and Rudis Sel de Mer. When we eat out at home we generally share appetizers and entrees since neither of us have the appetite to consume two entrees along with appetizers and dessert. Has anyone "shared" a dining credit between two people? We would be content sharing an appetizer, entree, and dessert with possibly adding an additional appetizer to share between us (with an additional charge of course). We simply cannot consume everything that two dining credits would include. Thanks in advance for your help, I appreciate it.

On the 10/20 Mexican Riviera cruise I was told by an NCL rep it would be the evening of the first Sea Day. I asked about the Seafood Buffet specifically.

Birdtravels, thank you for all of those wonderful, informative, links.

I am going to change my dining reservations to take La Cucina off. There seems to be an unfortunate consensus when it comes to this restaurant. In your opinion, is it worth using an SDP on Los Lobos? The a la carte pricing seems very reasonable. As far as Le Bistro, I have never been to a French restaurant so I think that I will give it a try, though really, it's the starters and side dishes that really appeal to me on their menu.

I will have to take a look at the Ocean Blue menu, that may be a better option than double booking Cagney's.

Decisions, decisions..... I think that maybe I am overthinking it!:confused:

Thank you for that detailed reply. I was afraid that you were going to say that about La Cucina. I may have to take it out of consideration. I love Mexican food too, just not sure if I could eat enough of it to use on the SDP. I am thinking maybe 2 nights at Cagney's, 1 at Le Bistro, and 1 at Q (or maybe 2 at Q instead of Cagney's). For Los Lobos, I will probably go A la Carte for a couple of nights, so many things that I want to try there 😁 Thanks again.

I know that restaurant preferences are highly subjective, but I would appreciatiate your opinions anyway. I have never sailed on an NCL ship so I am flying blind, so to speak. For those who have been on the Bliss, how would you rate the Specliaty Dining venues? I have a 4 meal SDP for a 7 day cruise. Where would you spend the 4 SDP's at? Thanks in advance for your opinions!:) I am considering Cagney's, La Cucina, Le Bistro, Q, and Los Lobos. I am not really interested in Teppanyaki or Ocean Blue.

Yes, if you call NCL directly. I made my reservations for "Q" for the Bliss 10/20 Mexican Riviera cruise yesterday (120 days out).

When I called NCL today to make reservations the agent told me that the menu is the same as Taste and Savor, but the atmosphere in the Manhattan dining room is a little more quiet and upscale. She said that is designed like a Supper Club. I am on the same sailing as you and booked everything today that I could:)
