Gregor4500 Posted January 1, 2017 #76 Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) I too will be boarding the Breakaway on Monday. In November the wings weren't exactly breaded (flour, egg ,breadcrumb). It was more like they were just dredged in flour before frying. I'm also used to wings with no coating other than spices and sauce. That being said, I still liked the wings. But for those on low carb it's just flour, not bread crumb too, so could be worse. Edited January 1, 2017 by Gregor4500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fshagan Posted January 1, 2017 #77 Share Posted January 1, 2017 But for those on low carb it's just flour, not bread crumb too, so could be worse. Flour is worse than bread crumbs for a low carber, although it depends on if they are LCHF, Paleo, Keto or some other variant, and the difference is slight. Flour has 6 grams per tablespoon, and bread crumbs 5 grams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaWatcher65 Posted January 1, 2017 #78 Share Posted January 1, 2017 This has to be the funniest post all year. You are on a cruise. Of course the wings are low calorie and low carb like everything on the ship. It's magical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncklhaus Posted January 5, 2017 #80 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Sorry about the dude lol. I know the policy from back in 2015 but this was not a remnant of this. I got the feeling that it was just a gem/ osheehans thing because no one was stopping you from taking food out of the buffet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I can now officially say that Moby was 100% CORRECT. We were not allowed to get to go chicken wings tonight from O'Sheehan's on Breakaway. They said I could ask the Butler to bring them, but we decided to just get real room service instead. So, dude, you were right. :o :D No problem taking food out from the buffet though. Maybe it has to do with how full the ship is. I believe this sailing is sold out. We wanted to eat at O'Sheehan's but we were told the wait would be at least a half hour. We left and went to the Main dining rooms. Same thing. So we went back up to the Haven restaurant and ate there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asubaru Posted January 6, 2017 #81 Share Posted January 6, 2017 LOL.....I have thought the same! I think their best offering is the wings :-) im convinced that O'Sheehans is where they train everyone who is new to food service on an NCL ship. that way they can contain them in one location the promote them to the MDR's then Specialties. food is always bad and service is slowest anywhere.

ofhs93 Posted February 23, 2017 #82 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I have ordered them without sauce and the are definitely breaded. This is one of the worst things I have read...certainly since I booked my cruise and am very much on the Keto diet train....oh well :( Doesn't look like O'Sheenans will be my destination as often...maybe a blackened chicken Cesar or on prime rib night?

macandlucy Posted February 23, 2017 #83 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I'd say the wings are deep fried to extreme crispiness, but not breaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to report that there is no longer a Prime Rib night - at least on the Epic 2 weeks ago. We watched all week and then heard it had been discontinued.

leithbones Posted February 26, 2017 #87 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Dawn Repo Oct 2016 Tried O'sheehan wings first night (thai). NOT GOOD. Soggy, undercooked, did not finish. Gave wings a second try 3rd night (buffalo) . NOT GOOD. It's bar food, how can you screw it up this badly? Never again. Midnight drunken stagger home, mid-cruise. NOT GOOD -- forgot about previous reconnaissance results-- how can a DRUNK reject wings?!!! We love wings, and have had our share of so-so restaurant fare. Prefer our home-made ones to anything. O'sheehan wings were dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Turtles06 Posted February 26, 2017 #91 Share Posted February 26, 2017 We were on the Jewel last month, the 16-night Panama Canal cruise. Although this was our 8th cruise with NCL, it was the first time we've eaten at O'Sheehans. We loved the wings. I'd read this thread before we sailed, including the debate over whether the wings are breaded or not, and so my wife and I tried to figure this out each of the several times we had wings there. Oddly, we weren't quite sure! They did not seem breaded in the traditional sense, but they surely did not seem "naked." How strange that we could not tell!! ;p (But if I had to bet, I'd say there's some sort of breading on them.) But we did love them! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyFred Posted February 28, 2017 #93 Share Posted February 28, 2017 4 in our group in October on the Escape and we all loved the wings! Some of the best I have ever had to be honest. I found myself stopping to get an order whenever I even got close to OSheehans. Different strokes for different folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they are fooling themselves. If they are on a low/no carb for weight loss, the only thing that really matters is to keep the diet under a certain amount of carbs. They tend to be high in saturated fat. Eat all the pepperoni you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perspicacious.kae Posted February 28, 2017 #96 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I think we can all agree that if healthy eating is your goal, chicken wings should be avoided. But hey, it's a cruise, so calories don't count anyway. Actually my doctor has me on the Keto diet which is 5% Carbs, 75% fat, 20% Protein. Wings (assuming the sauce is not sugar loaded) and they are not as some say breaded would be a perfectly healthy thing to eat. Extra Mayo, Bacon, Cheese etc. are some of the great and healthy things I am allowed to enjoy on a low carb diet. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggertastic Posted February 28, 2017 #97 Share Posted February 28, 2017 They do multiple styles now but definitely breaded Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that...but if you eat less calories than your body is burning, then your body starts burning your fat stores to make up the difference...see how that works ;) The fat free diet is an unhealthy myth...take a look at the obesity rates since the low fat diet became the mantra of the mainstream medical establishment. *stepping down from the Keto Pulpit* lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xriva Posted February 28, 2017 #99 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I've found the wings are quite healthy compared to the amount of beer that generally accompanies them. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megansdad1 Posted March 1, 2017 #100 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I thought the wings was one of the few things I enjoyed there. The Shepard's pie was garbage and the service left something to be desired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
