Uptown Grill being discontinued on Breakaway

[Captain Amazing]

So, I went to the NCL homepage, and saw that the Uptown Grill was being discontinued on Breakaway as of 9/25/16. Any idea why, or what, if anything is going to take its place?

And after looking more closely, it looks like it might be being replaced with Margaritaville.

Yes, that has actually been around these boards for quite a while. Most that have had Uptown Grill seem to be very disappointed but I guess if you are a new NCL person after the switch you wont know any different!!

Like the Getaway and Escape, it will be replaced with a Margaritaville specialty restaurant.

 

Uptown Grill is the underutilized outside extension to the main Garden Cafe buffet serving hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches etc. NCL is addressing contemporary cruiser's preferences for branded products like Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville and 5 o'clock somewhere bars.

It's been reported that Margaritaville is also under utilized on the Escape.

 

I guess even if Maragaritaville is underutilized on the Getaway and Breakaway NCL will still come out ahead as pax have to pay a fee and the Flamingo Grill was included at no extra cost.
