EPIC specialty restaurant question

[meggie711]

Are you put at group tables or tables just big enough for your party? Just wondering if we will be alone or with others as you typically are in MDR. Thanks!

Meggie, on NCL, you are typically seated at a table for only your party at specialty restaurants AND in the MDR. You pretty much have to go out of your way to request to be seated with others in all dining venues on NCL ships. The exception to this is the Tappanaki restaurants where the entire group is seated around the chef who prepares food in front of you. Since NCL's Freestyle concept means you can show up at any time to eat anywhere, it somewhat limits their ability to seat you with other groups unless the groups happen to show up at about the same time. So unless you request it and the NCL staff is able to find another willing party, you will be eating with only your own party in the MDR and in the specialty restaurants.

Thanks so much for your reply! It's not a problem either way for us, sitting alone or sitting with a group. I was just curious of what to expect. Thanks again!
