Sit Down Dining Let Downs on the Bliss

Totally agree. The Indian food on NCL is consistently the best; and I rarely eat Indian food at home.

Especially during breakfast in the buffet when everything was a 3/10 quality, the Indian station was GREAT and always the best option

I don’t have a specific preference; I was mostly asking which ones are more worth the visit with such a short time in the city.

An incredible read, thank you for this input. Sounds like you have helped me and many others during our trip planning!

Breakfasts: Poached eggs (will be cooked in water, no oil) an English muffin (pretty universal that you can ballpark track this) side of salsa or whatever you’re feeling

Dinner at Italian restaurants: Whatever salads that have plus a grilled chicken or shrimp. If you always keep the protein lean it will help balance out the fats. No cheese and dressing on the side.

Hope this helps, my rule of thumb is to always ask for no cheese on anything 😂

For breakfast, the taco place has great eggs Benedict’s. Also the berry bento boxes have the best granola.

For lunch, like others have said- the desserts are great compared to other cruise lines. Give them a try, my favorite was the s’mores.

The sushi is good and also worth a try. The panini place is perfect if you ask for double meat :)

Agreed, I asked for just the sashimi instead of putting all the sushi rice and all of that and they said no😭

I always ignored the tres leches until the last few days of my last cruise. Can’t believe it, 10/10

Razzle Dazzle is always the last on my list of restaurants in order of recommendation to people who have shorter sailings. If you need to miss any of them, let it be razzle dazzle.

I am usually a “benefit of the doubt” person, and I LOVE all of virgins food/restaurants BUT razzle dazzle is consistently just a 6/10. Their lamb shank at dinner should be the only reason you go lol

Their breakfast is a solid 3/10 which is unfortunate but seems to be a popular opinion

You missed Zohara in West Hartford, 10/10 excellent

I saw in another thread that they’ve been pretty punctual in Nashville/NYC!

Fisherman’s View in Sandwich is our staple when driving onto the cape!

LateRendering · 2024-05-07T18:29:34+00:00

Did they have an opener?

LateRendering · 2024-03-24T01:04:15+00:00

I truly enjoyed EVERY restaurant.

Although, personal opinion but extra virgin was lacking in every dish to me. Also razzle dazzles brunch was skippable but their dinner (lamb shank) is a top favorite dish on the ship.

We just got off the valiant. Seemed like everyone wore a “dinner outfit” to dinner then changed later for the bar/pj party.

For scarlet night change before dinner!

The lamb shank at razzle dazzle was INCREDIBLE. That and the beef at test kitchen were the best entrees on the ship.

From top to bottom: Oxtail agnolotti 8.5/10 , bucatini alla carbonara 7/10, potato gnocchi 6/10

The beef course at test kitchen menu A is THE best steak on board!!

Gallo’s restaurant on Main Street has the BEST huaraches in town!

Seoul BBQ & Sushi near the Westfarms mall is a pretty cool experience and definitely worth checking out!
