NCL Main Dining Room Food Tour 2025 (Norwegian Star)
Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
Service is generally quite slow, unless you're one of the first 10 tables or so to place orders.
Overall, we thought the food quality and presentation were pretty good.
Expect the food to come out slowly, however, and for that reason you might want to consider eating first at the dinner buffet.
As far as service goes, it was bit of hit and miss.
