Hi - We've been on a few Disney cruises, but are new to NCL and will be on the 8/6/23 Prima cruise to Norway/Iceland in a non-Haven SJ suite with our family of 4 (kids are 17 and 14). My understanding is that my wife and I both receive 2 specialty meals as part of the FAS package and the kids get none. We are trying to ensure we visit the best restaurants and buy/use the right Specialty Dining package.
We are thinking the 4 of us eat at Cagney's, Hasuki, and Food Republic, and only my wife and I eat at Le Bistro and Palomar. Any others that you'd recommend we not miss?
Do I understand correctly that at Food Republic, using 2 dining credits, we'd be able to order 8 items? If that is the case and enough food for us, would the kids need to use/pay anything here (i.e., can you make a reservation for 4 people, but only use 2 dining credits)?
Assuming my understanding of FR is correct (and we don't add any others), we'll need a total 14 meals, have 4 included, so will need to purchase 10 more. Can you purchase a package of 10 meals in my name and use them across all 4 of us or does everyone need their own? Does this include kids? The reason I ask is that it appears that the per meal cost decreases as you go up the number of meals. Also, I will have OBC credit to use and am wondering how much more expensive the meal packages are on board vs pre-paying now?
Anything else to consider from this regard?
Thanks in advance
