Creator's Key Takeaways

The MDR is NCL's weakest link. As a foodie, I avoided it as much as possible.

Shanghai Noodles is hands down my favorite free spot on the ship.

I would have eaten here every night if I could.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book specialty restaurants early as they sell out quickly.
Try to get a reservation for Shanghai Noodles as soon as you board.
Use the buffet for better breakfast options than the main dining room.

Going on a cruise is always an adventure. On the Norwegian Getaway, my adventure was all about the food. In this complete NCL Getaway Dining Guide, I take you through every restaurant on board. From free dining venues like the buffet and O’Sheehan’s to specialty spots like Cagney’s Steakhouse, Moderno, and Ocean Blue. I’ll share my honest opinions after a full 7-day sailing — the hits, the misses, and the hidden gems you need to try. Whether you’re wondering what’s included, which specialty dining is worth the splurge, or how to get into Shanghai’s Noodle Bar, this video will help you plan your cruise dining like a pro. 🚢 More NCL Getaway Reviews: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAMELD7KEuK7KuZUKSqGj3sWFms9haqNX&si=GFTH83a8luQd2wi6 📌 NCL Boarding Process Explained: https://youtu.be/a8pamsBPW6E?si=jroBmGODlpt2kg9e ⭐Check out my Website: https://www.tomsunday.com/ ► SOCIAL MEDIAS 🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/iamtomsunday 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamtomsunday Video Chapters 00:00 - Intro 00:26 - Main Dining Rooms (Taste, Savor, Manhattan) 02:24 - Garden Café Buffet 05:56 - O’Sheehan’s Bar & Grill 06:55 - American Diner 07:17 - Shanghai’s Noodle Bar 08:25 - Le Bistro 09:04 - La Cucina 09:30 - Ocean Blue 10:06 - Wasabi & Raw Bar 10:58 - Cagney’s Steakhouse 11:45 - Moderno Churrascaria 13:50 - Teppanyaki 14:05 - Haven Restaurant 14:35 - Final Thoughts #nclgetaway #nclcruise #norwegiangetaway #norwegiancruiseline #norwegiancruise
