Complimentary dining?

[chicago or bust]

What restaurants are free of charge? Savor or which mdr? Or does every restaurant besides the buffet have an upcharge cost?  Thank you in advance if anyone knows I'd appreciate any info. 

 

Happy cruising 🛳

Buffet, Taste, Savor, Manhattan Room (or whatever the large MDR is on your ship), The Local, O'Sheehan's.

 

You can also go to the NCL website and look at the 'dining' section for your ship, you should be able to tell the difference...

[stinkyharriet]

Taste, Savor and the main dining room (name varies) are all included and they will all have the same menu.  The difference is the physical space.  O’Sheehan’s or The Local (name varies on different ships, it’s the same pub type food) is also included, as well as the buffet.  Sometimes there will be food in the afternoon on the observation deck if your ship has one, and that is also included.

all room service food is "free," but there is a delivery charge unless you are in the haven or a suite,

 A little time spent on the NCL website and you'd have your answers. And you'll probably find answers to questions you didn't know you had yet!! Happy Cruising!!

It really depends on the ship. The bigger ships have 3 Main Dining Rooms Taste/Savor/Manhattan Room/Tropicana Room which are all complimentary and serve the same menu nightly. The Local/O'Shehan's is 24/7 complimentary bar and grill. The Garden Cafe Buffet. On ships with an Observation Lounge, there is usually breakfast and a light lunch/snacks (Encore, Joy, Bliss, Prima, Viva). On some ships the American Diner will have a breakfast buffet.

And if you are on the Prima or Viva, the Indulge Food Hall is complimentary.

Congratulations! 

 

Breakaway Complimentary Dining:

Manhattan Room - nicest and biggest dining room with live music during dinner (our only choice for MDRs)

Taste - Smaller main dining room (sometimes with more families)

Savor - Smaller main dining room (sometimes with more families)

Garden Cafe Buffet - Wide selection of international foods

O'Shehan's - 24/7 dining/pub food - good for those midnight chicken wings

Shanghai - Asian food

 

FWIW The following is a link to my live post from the Breakaway last fall. There's some pics and information on the ship.

The Manhattan Room also is an MDR on the Breakaway.  Taste and Savor both feel like a traditional land side restaurant.  The Manhattan Room is more of your traditional cruise MDR.  A large open space with tables throughout.   There is also a dance floor with live music and show dancers performing on some nights.  

 

Also, don't overlook O'Sheehan's.  Its also free with bar/pub food available with a late night menu also.  

[Sand and Seas]

Shanghai is a favorite of ours.  There can be a wait as there is limited seating.  They will hand out pagers.  

We also enjoy OSheehans.  They made a good Reuben there 😋

Hope you have a great cruise.

[Travelling2Some]

Agree about the good Reuben's at O'Sheehan's/The Local.  Also, the fettuccine Alfredo I had there was better than in La Cuicina, which is a specialty restaurant.

[dbrown84]

Definitely stop by Shanghai.  I've always loved it, and for the longest time, I didn't see it get much love here on on CC.  I'm happy to see more people hype it up

I was on breakaway this past January . I checked into the Asian restaurant and found out people lined up early  they fill the place up then start serving and they allow like an hour or so for the whole process (food brought out over time) I went and got in line one hour before they opened. While we were eating the next group was already in line.

so my point it is very popular. Also very good!
