We finally tried the supper club on the Legend (TWICE). We had opted not to previously - but now will NEVER MISS OUT AGAIN... We will likely do it on all formal nights. It is well worth the $25 (and I am cheap with my dining dollars:D ). That amount does include a tip, but many people do add in more when signing the Sail&Sign receipt.

 

Lamb TENDER... wow

Porterhouse :D

Lobster ;)

Baby Leaf Spinich Salad

Beef Carpaccio

 

BTW... we were in at 6, and out by 7:30... It only takes 2.5 hours if you desire it to... no rush, as you have the table for the night!

Tom

So is it 1.5 or 2.5 hours?

Steve

[Tom-n-Cheryl]

Carnival will tell you to "allow 2.5 hours for the dining experience". Ours (twice) only took about 1.5....

 

Some people will take time to dance, or sit back and order more wine, etc...

Wait a second... is this place named after Nick and Nora of the Thin Man movie series?

I can't speak for the Miracle (but will be able to in September!)

 

My husband and I did visit the Emerald Room on the Glory for the first formal night. We wanted something a little more intimate, since it was my birthday. We loved it so much that we booked it again for the second formal night!

 

They had a little birthday cake waiting for me as well as some chocolates. (I think when DH excused himself to go to the washroom, he actually tipped them off). We were so full that dessert was impossible. So they had the cake, chocolates and regular dessert delivered to our room.

 

It was $25 at the time and well worth it. Hopefully, Nick & Nora's is like the Emerald Room. It certainly looks like it, based on the Menu.

 

From now on, there are a few things I do as soon as I get on the ship:

~ Make my apointments at the Beauty Salon for Formal nights

~ Lysol the bathroom and wash the bedspreads

~ Make apointments at the Supper Club

~ Make friends real quick with the room steward :D

[Donnask8pro]

The menu changes every night?

[Tom-n-Cheryl]

The menu, for the most part, is FIXED across the entire fleet and every night. But there is enough there for variety (as far as entrees go) - yet I would like to see some additional options for dessert.

 

Make sure you try the Yukon Gold Mash w/Wasabi...

Aha! I was on the right deck because according to Internet Movie Database, he wrote the novel which became the first Thin Man movie.

[MickeyG]

We are set to sail on Miracle (our first cruise) in a couple of weeks. Can anyone suggest a night of the week to book a reservation at Nick & Nora's? Is there a better evening to skip the Bachus dining room and try N & N's? Would you suggest avoiding N & N's on the evenings the ship features the midnight buffet?

Thanks for any suggestions?

[SusiQ]

I would suggest Tue or Wed. We chose Tue and our waiter in the Bacchus dining room agreed that based on the menu's in the Bacchus dining room, that either of these two nights were best for Nick and Nora's.

[Tom-n-Cheryl]

As I metioned earlier - I would opt for formal night(s). I have not been very impressed with the prime rib/lobster in the main dining room - so that is not a loss. Additionally, you REALLY get a FORMAL feel in the supper club. Much more appropriate, and no singing or dancing waiters...:rolleyes:

 

Tom

[GoinCruisin]

Tom, we are going to TRY to get a reservation for N&N... but our first formal night is Valentine's Day, so I'm sure it will be a popular night for it... guess I better reserve as early as I can... looking forward to it!!!!

ALASKAN KING CRAB CLAWS

Is it just me, or is it really odd to serve crab meat cold? :confused:

[emerald777]

Any opinions on the Lobster Bisque???

Most crab appetizers I have ever had have been cold... crab cocktail, at least everywhere I have ever been is always cold (ick, can't imagine it heated...) and I have always had crab claws cold as well.

[pmc7704]

Another quick question about Nick & Nora's, when I was on the Pride a couple months ago, they had a table set up in the atrium as you boarded, and you could make your reservations there for the dinner club. You didn't have to go up to the dinner club itself. Do you remember seeing this on the Miracle?

[serene56]

I am leaning towards a Thursday for our reservation- Its a late port day- 6pm while in COzumel- and we have a late excursion planned. So instead of runnin gback to the ship to gt ready for dinner.. we can take our time and make it to a liesurely time for dinner.

 

I saw a trio of something or other for desserts... do they still have those?

[Tom-n-Cheryl]

Yes... they do have the Trio of Creme Brulee... tasty, but I would not order it again... the Flourless Chocolate Cake was the best choice - very good, but do not hold back on the rest of the meal and try to save space for the desserts - they pale in comparison to the rest of the meal, IMHO...

 

I wish we had "caught on" to the supper club on previous cruises when it was available! Now it is a "Don't Miss"!
