Jetlagged787 Posted April 9, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 9, 2017 On Celebrity last year, guests were able to use the speciality dining restaurants at less than the normal asking price. There were always offers available and it was even possible to haggle the price down. The best deal folk were getting was 2 for 1 apparently. I've never seen any mention on the NCL boards of a similar market operating so guess it doesn't happen. I'm not one for using these paid for restaurants being quite happy with the MDR. I do enjoy a good steak though and, as Cagneys gets good reviews, thought we might give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can purchase speciality dining packages in advance, for a certain numbers of days - and then you can have whatever on the menu without thinking about the much higher a-la-carte pricing. But the smallest dining package is for 3 days. Prices are listed below, and these prices incl. a $10 reduction in price compared to purchasing a dining package on board. An 18% auto-gratuity fee comes in addition to the listed prices.

dexddd Posted April 9, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Last time on Spirit (Dec 2015) no specials for the specialties other than the packages mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KeithJenner Posted April 9, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I've not seen any discounts on speciality dining outside of the dining packages for years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauer-kraut Posted April 9, 2017 #6 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Thanks everyone. MDR it is then. :) The MDR's are now offering upcharge steaks and lobster for a fee, this might be something for you without having to deal with a dining package!

I'm. It sure they are any more. Apparently Lobster is off the menus now and some recently posted menus from other ships didn't have the upcharge items at all. I'm on the Spirit next week, so will be able to confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great news thanks Sauer-kraut. I'm not bothered for the lobster but will give the steak a try for sure. I live in Portugal and, to put it as kindly as possible, beef is not exactly my go to dish here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pay for each item (appitizer, entree, side, dessert) you order. Other than sneaking a free side dish, no room to haggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonyte Posted April 10, 2017 #10 Share Posted April 10, 2017 NCL restaurants are all a la carte. You pay for each item (appitizer, entree, side, dessert) you order. Not all, only three out of five standard speciality restaurants (on bigger ships there are some additional ship specific restaurants). Moderno and Teppanyaki are fixed fee, La Cucina, Cagney's and Le Bistro are a la carte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a look at Cagney's menu when we board and make a decision then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
