Editorial Summary

The creators provide an extensive tour of the various dining options available on the Norwegian Aqua, comparing complimentary venues with specialty restaurants. They begin at the Indulge Food Hall, a complimentary space featuring globally inspired cuisine like Indian and Texas barbecue, where they note the convenience of ordering via iPads. The tour continues to the Surfside Cafe, a complimentary buffet they describe as a good option for lighter or healthier meals, and the Local Bar and Grill, which offers a more traditional dining experience for breakfast and late-night snacks. The creators also explore specialty dining, including Suka Thai, where they express surprise at how much they enjoy the authentic flavors, and Hasuki, a Japanese hibachi venue characterized by high energy and interactive cooking. They visit Los Lobos for Mexican cuisine, highlighting the generous portions of fajitas and queso fundido, and Oonna by Scarpetta, where they conclude that the freshly made pasta is the standout feature. Finally, they review Le Bistro, a French specialty restaurant, praising the bread and butter before concluding their culinary journey through the ship's diverse food offerings.

Creator's Key Takeaways

I am a sucker for chicken tikka masala. And I have taken the rice, mixed it in here.

Best food we've had so far.

This is such a great concept. Bounce around the restaurant. They just come to your table. It's really, really neat concept.

If you're going to come to Ona, just worry about the pasta. It's such a good meal.
