K and S Posted September 9 #1 Share Posted September 9 I don't know where to put this question so please help. In April we became carnivores, due to health issues. I would like to hear from other carnivores re their eating experiences on a Norwegian cruise. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check Here! forum. However, it was off topic where posted. That forum is for questions and answers relating to technical assistance in using the Cruise Critic message board software and not for cruise-related questions or Roll Calls. To help you out, your new thread has been moved to the Norwegian Cruise Line forum where it will be on topic since you are asking for eating experiences on a NCL cruise. Happy sails, Host Kat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Anoynmous Phoenix Posted September 9 #3 Share Posted September 9 Plenty of all types of meat in all restaurants and the buffet, and plenty of choice too. Plenty for us to enjoy so I'm sure you will find plenty too. Not so much fish but still some, my wife takes fish most days when it is on the MDR menu, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis1138 Posted September 9 #4 Share Posted September 9 For health reasons, I had to go keto, which is not exactly the same as carnivore, but there are quite a lot of meat products, and eggs. NCL has cut back on salmon, which sucks, as it's one of the best fatty fishes out there. I doubt the beef is grass-fed. I do not know if the ships carry lactose-free dairy, though, and they probably cook in oil, as using lard or butter or tallow would be expensive. I don't know how strict you'll be in avoiding dairy. The hardest part for me with remaining keto was the desserts. The real trouble will be the willpower to stay on the diet. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Stop Posted September 10 #6 Share Posted September 10 I was on the Gem last month and the steak I had at La Cucina was one of the best I’ve had in my life. The burgers you can get at the buffets are pretty good too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but I misread the title of your thread. I wondered why you would post on the NCL board if you had a question about sailing with Carnival. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Anoynmous Phoenix Posted September 10 #10 Share Posted September 10 Having been in Moderno 5 years ago spoilt me. Since then we have found a large drop in standards and no longer even consider it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best part is if you don't like the cut of meat they offer you can just so no and wait for the next round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had a bad piece of meat there and I have been six or seven times. The salad bar is excellent. My only complaint is that drink service tends to be a bit slow, but I find that to be true in all the restaurants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

complawyer Posted September 11 #17 Share Posted September 11 hey schmoop! i cant believe that after all your cruises, you've never eaten in Moderno. the poster claimed to be a carnivore, so i recommended moderno. sometimes it can be "hit or miss" .the salad bar itself, is enough to justify eating there, and the sliced pineapple is to die for. i would be happy to just eat the salad bar and go directly to the pineapple. since they both share the same kitchen, if im, at cagney's, i ask my waiter if he can sneak us a few slices. actually, my go-to specialty restaurant is cagney's, although we have as yet not sailed on a ship with either onda or paloma. this will soon be corrected in 2 weeks as we're on the prima. If anyone is interested, i'll post a comment, although i usually do not write reviews as i'm certain, somewhere out there someone is bound to disagree. anyway, let us know what you thought about moderno 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis1209 Posted September 11 #18 Share Posted September 11 Ate at Moderna just once, about 3 years ago on Breakaway. I'm still full! It was "Meatstock"! Elvis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
