So, I'm dying to recreate the NCL version of the Perigord sauce from Le Bistro (menu item below) Filet de Boeuf Rossini* $49 Beef Tenderloin, Foie Gras, Fondant Potato, Mushrooms, Périgord Sauce ($10 Dining Package Supplement)rom Le The sauce I had was very dark, rich, and delicious. Does anyone happen to know the recipe? I can google a few results and the ingredients vary wildly in wine type, shallots or no shallots, creme or butter or neither, demi or veal stock, etc etc. Tim

wolft927: In response to your question, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, and when I was younger carnival. I read in detail the forums but there is no excuse for staffing a 24,000 USD suite with staff who don’t understand basic English. Nor is there an excuse that the haven pool area has no service or attendants checking in ever except promptly at 4 to remove the water, juice, and gummy bears. I eat at McDonalds and pay $10 for a meal and expect $10 in value. They usually deliver that. Paying $24,000 and getting what I’d best describe as mediocre to poor service isn’t what someone should expect. Having Haven butlers understand basic English, having someone check in on pool area even once an hour, having the bars have the cocktail and drink lists they have not what’s at other bars, isn’t a absurdly high standard.

No you can not. The internet is exceptionally slow, even the premium + streaming package.

Norwegian Gem April 15 New York to Rome My personal experience in the Haven on the Gem is poor. 1) The butler speaks very little English and misunderstands every request. Simple things like skim milk or fruit tray confuse him. We gave up after multiple days trying to get him to understand anything. 2) The haven pool area has water juice and gummies bears until 4 pm. No attendants. No service. 3) The lunch menu has been the same for every single day. No daily specials. No variety of any kind. If you want any variety you need to go to the main buffet. It’s sad. 4) Most bars offer you a drink menu then tell you that those aren’t available at the bar you’re are. Why is the menu for that bar listing drinks not available at that bar? The only positive I can speak to in haven on the Gem is Nashira, the concierge. My advice? Book a different cruise line. NCL offering is just very sub standard when it comes to a premium suite. Tim
