NCLGirl2013 Posted December 15, 2021 #51 Share Posted December 15, 2021 For the Indian buffet, does anyone remember is they had Tikka Masala? That's my absolute favorite on land so if they do I will for sure be looking for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't care for it the first time I tried it on an NCL ship, so I didn't order it again for at least a dozen cruises. I mentioned it to Executive Chef Praveen on the Joy in 2019 and he encouraged me to try it again. He said it was his specialty. He even came to La Cucina and personally prepared it. IT WAS GREAT!!! I sailed with him again this past September on the Encore and would have tried it again, but the Encore now has Onda instead of La Cucina and I don't remember seeing Osso Buco on the menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was certainly no beef on the menu at any restaurants I visited in India! Even the burgers were made with chicken or beans.... I will have to seek out the Indian food at the buffet on my upcoming cruises! It depends. This comes from a friend who is Indian and moved to the US. So I am not an expert. From she told me, most vegetarians in Indian are Hindu. She is Christian, and she was encouraged by her Indian family and church to eat meat. She claims that it is sort of a marker or delineator as Hindus wouldn't eat meat or beef. Ironically, she is in a protestant sect that encourages vegetarianism here in the US and has a health mission. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psac Posted December 16, 2021 #56 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I had that Osso Bucco at La Cuccina in the Breakaway in October and it was very good! The best things on the ship though were the filet, shrimp, and scallops (tried my mother in law’s scallops) at Teppanyaki. All three were outrageously good!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkrickles1 Posted December 17, 2021 #59 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Been following this thread and thinking back on my various sailings and really can't think of a favorite thing on any of the cruise lines. With that being said, there's been many things that I've enjoyed over the years. Just nothing that stands out where I have to have it again. I'm sailing Joy in January and I'm going to make a point of paying attention and picking a favorite thing. Lmao! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adian80 Posted December 17, 2021 #61 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Shrimp cocktail from Cagney/Haven/Suite lunch. I was so disappointed when I saw the new Haven menus and there was so shrimp cocktail on the new menus that I joked with my teens that our cruise in March is canceled.

Olyrachel Posted December 20, 2021 #63 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Potato soup at O’Sheehan’s! It was a super simple soup, but made perfectly. Velvety (honestly, all NCL creamy soups are great in texture), flavorful, beautifully seasoned. I’m a sucker for potatoes in general, but this was something special. No bacon, cheese, chives or anything- just a simple, fantastic soup. I almost forgot about my favorite dessert, so I had to edit it in: the chocolate salted caramel tart in the Manhattan Room was so good that I was drooling as I ate it. Flaky pastry crust, smooth chocolate custard, and rich salted caramel. Gosh, it was good. Edited December 20, 2021 by Olyrachel Forgot about dessert!

icedearth15324 Posted December 20, 2021 #64 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I was just on the Breakaway, and maybe it's because my wife and I have a tendency to go to nice places, but my favorite food this trip was in the garden cafe and the Manhattan. We went to le bistro and Cagney's, and were quite disappointed in both. Next time we sail on NCL, we may just skip the specialty dining package.

Elvis1209 Posted June 24, 2022 #65 Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) Having only been on two Norwegian ships (Escape and Breakaway) I can't speak for the whole feet. But the thing I'm looking forward to the most for my upcoming Escape cruise is Prime Rib in the Haven Restaurant! What can I say? I'm a carnivore!!!!!!! I must say, that Porterhouse looks mighty good!!!!!! Elvis Edited June 24, 2022 by Elvis1209 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpyNor Posted June 24, 2022 #66 Share Posted June 24, 2022 No doubt - the doublecut lamb chops in Cagney's. I love Caesar salad, and even though they use the same lettuce, same cheese, same dressing throughout the fleet, somehow I find the "Mexican Caesar" in Cagney's that they serve in a "bowl made of crisp corn tortilla" to be the tastiest.

Rare scooter6139 Posted June 24, 2022 #69 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Really loved my burger I had in the Local. Was messy but super tasty. And the wedge salad in Cagney's was excellent, while the one is Ocean Blue sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if anyone else responded - still getting through the thread, but milkshakes are definitely not included with the free at sea beverage package. I don't know about the premium plus, but we had to purchase the milkshake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiseny4life Posted June 24, 2022 #71 Share Posted June 24, 2022 On the Getaway in April I had the best milkshake I've ever had in my life - the banana milkshake at American Diner was phenomenal on embarkation day. It was still really yummy, but not as good on our last sea day. Instead of chocolate shavings, their were what appeared to be crumbled up cocoa puffs on the rim of the glass. The milkshake itself was so good though. I'll spend that $5 every cruise for the milkshake. I wasn't particularly pleased with Cagney's or Teppanyaki, but the Haven Restaurant was excellent. The pork belly appetizer is excellent, as was being able to order a prime rib and lobster tail(s) as often as I wanted. My husband would definitely say the shrimp cocktail. Just because it's not on the menu, doesn't mean you can't have it. He would order it with 6 or 9 shrimps, instead of the 3 that come with it. Other than the milkshake I can't say anything was the best I've ever had, but those are my favorites we had on the ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
