🎬 Watch next: What to EAT, what to SKIP at Breakfast on Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/btxnl9WksqnZZX0.html

Very helpful! Food is the best part 😂

As a spice freak, my favorite food on NCL was their Indian food. Everything in the Indian section of the buffet, anything that might appear to appeal to Sikhs on the menu is wonderful.

Food is at the very top of my cruise needs. If the food isn’t just right, it kinks up the entire cruise for me. The last sailing I did with Royal Caribbean will be the *last* sailing I do with them until they can get the included food scene back up to snuff. Until then, it’s HELLO NORWEGIAN! 👋 Last time I sailed with Norwegian, I was on the Encore, and the food was *right* on par. Unfortunately, I skipped O’Shehans, figuring I’d try them another time. I was much more focused that sailing on the buffet. Mind you, the MDR was not up to snuff, but I forgave that, because I literally could have eaten at the buffet for every meal. If a cruise line gets their buffet right, then I can overlook other details. The pretzel pub rolls were fabulous, and I had one or two every lunch or supper. I love your “play-by-play” style with the food scene, Grant!!! Cruise food is serious business for most of us!

Thank you Grant! We cruise only on NCL. We like O’Sheehans quite a bit. Favorite food - hubby’s are the wings and mine are the nachos.

Love your videos. Thank you!Will be on the Joy in October and the Getaway in December. Can’t wait!

I'm mostly an MSC cruiser but this Summer I'm going to try the NCL EPIC so i find your food videos very helpful. Thanks

Thanks Grant! I appreciate your content!

I was addicted to the pretzel bites and got them every day on my last cruise. I liked the spinach dip but some days it was kinda watery which was hard to get on the chips. Also really enjoy the chicken salad too!

Russian dressing is a piquant American salad dressing consisting of mayonnaise, ketchup, and other ingredients. Russian dressing is similar to Thousand Island. The Reuben sandwich is a North American grilled sandwich composed of corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing or Russian dressing, grilled between slices of rye bread Sounds like they nailed it by your description. Maybe you jsut dont like Reuben sandwhiches..

I loved the chicken salad sandwich. I found last full day and wish I'd found earlier

Nice to see a video again from you. Glad that you were able to get some time in to finish one. Sunny smiles on the way! 🌞🌞

Just came back from the Escape July 30th. I ate at Sheehan's twice. I did like the Pastrami Reuben although I had nothing from before to compare. I also had the sweet chili wings which I liked. I didn't find the food in the main dining rooms to be that great. I never did get to eat dinner at Garden Cafe as I was in the Solo Group and wanted to eat with other friends which was at usually Savor, once at Taste and once at The Manhattan Room which had the best ambiance.

Thanks Grant, looking forward to trying some of these out on our first NCL Cruise this Thursday!

I agree about the carrot cake.

We are cruising on the NCL Jade in May. Third time with NCL and love their food!

I get the Reuben, no Russian dressing. Thousand Island on the side, dip it in. Love jt

Another great video. We are actually going on the Bliss this weekend. Yay! 🎉 I absolutely love the pretzel bites. I think that was my favorite snack on my last cruise. I have always loved Rueben sandwiches. For years, when I was a vegetarian, I would leave off the corned beef and put lettuce in its place. Most Reuben’s are wet not only because of the dressing, but also because of the sauerkraut. A lot of places don’t drain it enough before putting it on the sandwich. I actually tried The Local’s Reuben on the Bliss last year and it was pretty good. I haven’t tried the carrot cake, but I am planning on it this time. Oh and the artichoke dip is good, but not as creamy as an upscale restaurant.

Thank for the Veg Burger tip

Thanks for the overview! This is helpful...I'm honestly really underwhelmed by these options and will probably skip this on my upcoming cruise, save for maybe some late night carrot cake.

Hello Grant, hope all is well. New subscriber, I love o' Sherman's and Local . My favorite for lunch is the chicken wings and the loaded nachos. I have chosen these Venues for breakfast, lunch and dinner many times when cruising. Menu offers many choices . I use to visit the buffet alot , now sense I have been introduced to these eateries I do not frequent the buffet. Highly recommend. Thank you for sharing your tips for not only veteran cruisers but first time cruisers. Have a great day.

Can you give more food reviews for different areas of the ship? Very helpful thank you!

I liked the sausage sliders. My hubby loved the pretzel Bites

Thanks for this informative video. Do you have more information on healthier choices? A lot of these options seem very heavy foods and it would be great to see healthier options with less carbs or more salad/veges etc?

Thanks🥰

The local has been our go to on crusies. We may do garden cafe once or twice but mainly go to the local. The bugers, wings and fish & chips are amazing. They also have gluten free bread and buns if you ask.

Hey Grant great video as always. During my time on the Bliss, I went to the local twice it was good, but the wait times were borderline excessive, which was a little frustrating. I love that they have a dish with plantains (bit of a plantain snob here). I'm half Nigerian, and if there is one thing I love to eat, it's a good fried plantain 😋

Engaging and informative. Delightful

Good stuff, buddy 👍

Hoping NCL gos back to frying the wings. Was on March, July & Joy in October. PLEASE NCL fried wings

This is a great review Grant! I am always up for late night food, but unfortunately not all cruise lines have great options.

carrot cake, yum! thanks

On my first cruise last year on The Joy we ate at The Local a lot. I liked the fish & chips, the chicken salad and the Reuben. The Reuben was so big it was hard to eat so maybe having less isn't a bad thing! I had a Caesar salad as a started pretty much every time. I was on the Prima in April and we only went to the Local a couple of times. The fries were awful but it wasn't exclusive to the Local; they were bad at every place on the ship including a specialty restaurant. Cold, chewy and just awful. I'll be on the Escape in October and I'm hoping the food is better, but the food seems to be going downhill on every cruise line this year.

I love that pork and plantains dish! I think I ordered it three times on my last cruise 😂

My go tos are always nachos or fish and chips

We absolutely loved the wings at O’Sheehan’s on our March 2020 cruise on the Breakaway - delicious! Unfortunately, the wings at the Local on our February 2023 cruise were quite different. The ‘new’ baked wings were almost slimy, not good at all. Another passenger told us he ordered them well cooked, and they were only slightly better.

The spaghetti at the Buffet is the best. I had Steak and Eggs for a whole month on the Prima . Do the whole fleet have that now.

Love the blue cheese burger

Hi! I noticed a picture of you with a Christmas tree in the background. Could you please point me in the direction of any videos you have with your experiences on NCL holiday cruises? My family (nine in total) will be spending Christmas aboard an NCL ship, and I wonder what suggestions you have. Also, how are the holiday meals and decorations?

Wings, wings and more wings! O’Sheehans baby!

Would any of the buffets/restaurants allow you take food back to your room? Or sneak it out? Sailing next month and need to have food in the room for my toddler. Trying to cut back on additional costs and room service delivery fees.

didnt have a bad meal on NCL, didnt send anything back. their lasagna was good, good portion also

is there anyplace on board the Bliss where you can get a Monte Cristo sandwich?

Hey Grant, you are better than NCL's marketing department! (Or are you part of NCL's marketing department (suspicion emoji) lol) A am a foodie and I love to cook as well. And with the task of cruise operators to be able to offer food that the biggest percentage of people like - NCL has a lot of variety!

Going on Norwegian Sun On their last Alaska cruise in October 2023! Oh boy- hope we don’t hit really really bad weather! I expect it to be really cold though but looking forward on having a great time!

Very much looking forward to my cruise on Norwegian Jade for 32 nights next April. Your food videos are wonderful - easy to watch and very informative - and very much appreciated!

Please do a video on ncl sailaway guarantee

I tend to skip burgers on cruises because they are everywhere where I live. I usually get fish and pretzel bites. No fries for same reason. Fish is harder and harder to come by here. The apple pie is weird. I won't get again. It was edible and I refuse to waste food unless super full. I didn't have to cook it so every thing taste better for that reason! I will have to try the new wings in October in London.

I am going on the NCL Getaway in January, I'm so excited! I really enjoy your videos!

Thanks Grant , agreed with most of your choices, especially the chicken sandwich .The Rueben is overrated and not of the best quality

the only thing I would eat, it would be the fish and ships looked appealing to me

Hey Grant, have you eaten at the American Diner? If so, what do you recommend?

Classic reuben sandwiches have 1000 island!

Just got off the Bliss and found the Local to be very hit and miss. The spin/art. dip is more like queso dip. My wife had the chicken wings once and they were just terrible (fatty.) Her nachos were not very good either, but later, I got them and they were good. She got the hot dog once and it was ok. I got the fish and chips once late and they were ok but after having fish and chips in Juneau, they were kind of meh. I thought that the Reuben and the bleu burger were very good. My favorite was the Hot Fudge Sundae.

I loved the chicken salad sandwich on the bliss. Heading on the escape 2 weeks today! Would they allow me to wrap up a sandwich and I can put in my back pack to take with me on an excursion? I love sandwiches on the go and being free too.. LOL

Thanks so much Grant. You are a NCL Cruise Angel lol. We appreciate you

Hello, I have a question about port days. I read that guests are able to get off the ship about 2 hours after arrival in ports. Is this accurate? If we arrive at 7am, how soon can we disembark? I may want to schedule my own excursions. Thanks for all responses!

I had the Coney Island hot dog and on the Norwegian Epic my husband son and I went there for breakfast as I felt they had a better selection there then at the main dining room or the buffet up top.

Definitely not 24/7 on the Eurodam, which we experienced this past August on our Alaska Cruise...

The reuben sandwich went on a diet lately

👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Can't remember if i saw The Local on The Escape. Is it either the Local or OSheehan's. Then there was no Local. I saw something i think Forward in the corner. Can't remember what that was though.

O'Sheehan's restaurant was busy My waiter said: "You make one wish" And me replied : "I'll make it easy" HOW MUCH IS THE FISH?

Spinach dip and tortilla chips not nachos 🎉

SAM wich?????

any ideas for veggie burgers on the ship?

promo sm

11:02, sorry but that is not carbonara.

On the Bliss, buffet, Pizza? ummm no, not even in the realm of good frozen pizza at home.

Is the burger vegan? Ask it. It will tell you.

I thought the Ruben was good tbh

“I am all about the food!” Dude, seriously, give up the lower-middle-class NCL and join me on a Regent cruise. You will NEVER look back!

Food is cheap hamburgers hotdogs pork garbage
