There was an upcharge at Cagney's for my wife when she got the surf and turf, due to the lobster addition. But a standard filet doesn’t have an upcharge in Cagneys, La Cucina and Ocean Blue, so it is just Le Bistro where you have to pay extra to get filet. The lobster upcharge has been around since they reintroduced lobster to the menus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, no problem for us- we ask for it without that! If anyone is currently on board, I’d love to know if there is no charge of ordering the filet without the goose! I will update next week if no relies, as we are sailing on Gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a third person in our cabin who is a new cruiser. Could my wife use one voucher and take our friend while i use the other voucher for just myself and all eat together for that meal? Or would they count that as using two vouchers at the same restaurant? I'm wondering if that might be allowed since neither of us individually are eating two meals in same restaurant. I checked NCLs Latitudes FAQ, didn't see this addressed. This is an excellent question. I don't know the answer to it, but do you also have the free at sea meals? If yes, then you could use your free at sea meal. Then you could use the 2nd voucher (and another free at sea dinner) at another restaurant and do the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takingthefam2cruz Posted February 25, 2023 #32 Share Posted February 25, 2023 What if you don't want their "free wine", can you use your voucher that says with wine at a restaurant that does not have a "free wine" list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the menus on the ncl site. We have a cruise booked so when I go to explore dining when you look at the different restaurants there is a link for view menu. They are sample menus but all of them are now updated for 2023. Hmm may have to go to Cagney's 3 times and no LeBistro. lol Thank you everyone. We cruised breakaway January 8-15 and the 10.00 up charge was still on menu for crab cake. Take my word it was billed to us.

You do not need to provide any additional tip (which are covered by the Daily Service Charges). However, if you feel that your server provided excellent, timely, service, you may wish to add a tip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe folks have been paying an upcharge for it; it was okay, but certainly not worth an upcharge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no answer, because there's no policy on this, it's not stated as a Lats benefit. It's up to the discretion of the ship. Three years ago, we did a 21-day cruise on the Gem from NY to San Fran. We each got two bags of laundry, although I can't recall when we learned that we would. I doubt 12 days will be enough; we just returned from B2B cruises (also on the Gem); the first was 12 days, the second was 11. One laundry bag each (we're Sapphire) on each leg; two bags total for us on each leg was quite enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said earlier on breakaway Jan 8-15 and was definitely charged. It was actually my granddaughter that ordered it and waitress charged to me (she told me she was doing it) funny thing we had a mixed bag of platinum and dinning package (3 of us) the dinning package did not even max out what all they could order.
