Being of Dutch decent, there is rarely a meal I eat that does not include the gloriousness that is cheese. Therefore, I have no common frame of reference from which to answer your question.

 

Eerlijk genoeg maatje  🧀👍🏼

Cheese hides imperfections in the ingredients. >.>

 

For the lactose intolerant, fill out the NCL Access form and do the "pre order the day before", and they will make you what you want, the way you need it, as long as it isn't "from outside".

Here are menus that I saw on Prof. Cruise website that have only 7 appetizers instead of 11 and more limited dessert choices. Are the ones on Cruise Gear more recent? Anyone whose been on a cruise in the last month able to respond to my question?

The one day I looked at, the menu you linked matches the more limited menu that I found which I believe is the menu updated in June.

Cheese is the only ingredient that truly matters. 😏

Cheese is great if you enjoy increasing your chances of getting cardiovascular disease. 👍🏼🧀

Cheese is the least of my concerns in that regard. Now, let's talk American bacon!

Fair point, well made 😂. I am rather partial to that crispy stuff the yanks call bacon though 🐷😂👍🏼

And yet another newbie question:
Do all sailings start on day one of the menus, or is it up to the ship to decide ?

Not necessarily.  Dinner menus are posted each day in the morning.  That's how we determine if we're eating in the MDR, the buffet or somewhere else.  Of course, we've already made our specialty reservations and will stick with those.

 

There are actually many days of menus.

Okay, let's get this straight.  Stress is what causes heart attacks.  Bacon and cheese reduce stress.

There are 21 days of menus and these are set by corporate. The executive chef, the F and B Manager and the GM work together 4 months in advance to select which menus will be used and in which order. They are always working 16 weeks in advance.

 

The lunch menus are posted in the morning. The dinner menus are posted after lunch when the lunch menus have been taken down.

Thanks, peoples.  Hopefully this means I might have a chance of seeing a Day 5 menu on a 4 day cruise.  😃

Cheese and bacon! That's almost all I need! Though, I do prefer my cheese fried and served with marinara. Not to be found on NCL anymore.

Cheesy hashbrowns are awesome!

Unfortunately, NCL has discontinued British bacon and only serves streaky bacon now. About 800 pounds of bacon is served every day on the each ship. That’s a lot of pigs.

😂😂. I think I actually prefer the very crispy burnt American style if I’m being honest. However if eaten on a butty, with, say Brown sauce, then yes, has to be British, rubbery version.  You’ll get a heart attack if over indulging with either….🇺🇸🇬🇧🐷👍🏼😂

That heart attack is going to taste really good though! Mmmm bacon!

Let's be honest...*everything* is better with bacon  😀
