Is it normal practice for them to ask for dessert choice when ordering the whole meal? We had to order dessert every night with our main course.  

 

Yes, it's been that way for a few years now,

On our recent sailings I had peaked at menus precruise and was happy to see they were not identical once I was onboard.   The app was not showing  rack of lamb or Barramudi which are 2 of my favorites.    They were on the menus once onboard.

Yes, it has been that way since before Covid.

You’ll be in luck!  Escargot is available every night on every cruise.

Same with Cheesecake Dessert, my Fav!

Does anyone know why cruise lines seem to be in love with escargot?  Is it just that some people have never had it before and there is a novelty factor or something?

I am 53 days away from my Alaskan cruise & all I see is the kids menu every night. Cheeseburgers, chicken fingers, & cheese pizza every nite!!!

It's a good question.  I like it (mostly so I can dip bread in the garlic butter) but doubt it is all that popular.  When my parents used to cruise in the 1960's and 70's there were always frogs legs on the menu.

I don't like that either since I never know if I will still want it by the time it comes.  I've been known to drop it off in my cabin fridge and have it for breakfast with coffee.  Another nice little decadent cruise habit 🙂

Yeah, I view escargot (and eggplant) more as vehicles for sauces than anything else.

I love frog legs!  Hopefully they make a return someday...

Me too! I wonder if it's because the Quantum isn't sailing in the US yet?

Weird.  My page starts with appetizers and then entrees.

Of course you can just click on wines and forget the food!

we sail on May 13th and all i get on the APP is " We are putting the finishing touches to your cruise, check back for updated information", no menus at all.

For those who have the app, any nights when the MDR is ALL seafood? Mrs. Dawg hates seafood and if there is an all seafood night, I'll have to make sure we go to the MDR that night. 

 

Seeing her squirm while reading an all seafood menus is one of my little pleasures in life. 😁

it was like that for quite some time for my May cruise. But a couple of weeks ago it switched to a regular menu.

Even now day 5 is still showing a kid's menu.

Shoot, Royal use to have Caviar on the Menu every Cruise, neither is my Cup of Tea

[luckyinpa]

i wish NCL would purchase the (what must be terribly expensive) software that enables at least 'today's mdr to be on the app. it's crazy in this new world that they cannot even do that. much less weeks before the cruise. royals app and internet is far better than ncl and makes it easier to plan things. until the menus change of course. 🙂
