I have to agree the speed of dining is often something worth mentioning to your wait staff at any sit-down dining, whether speciality or in the main dining room or other included venue, just because there may be times you want it quickly (either because that's just how you like it or because you're trying to get to a show at a certain time, for example) or at a more casual pace because you wish to enjoy the dining experience itself (which I sometimes think is a foreign experience for many Americans, but I'm from New Orleans so time I've spent in places like Italy where a casual pace is the norm is right up my alley most of the time). The staff won't always know your preference but in my experience are always quite willing to accommodate the speed you might like.
Wow - I’ve never been to an NCL specialty dining where they offer unlimited appetizers. Would be tempting to try a few off that menu, but that would be too much food. I like to leave room for a dessert. Looks like you all had a great meal at Cagney’s. I see why it’s a no brainer.
Another nice video. It is very nice of you to leave extra tip for the wait staff even you had already paid the gratuity when purchasing the dining package. I also always add a tip to the $0 check when signing.
Great videos like always Bram. I am so jealous. The food is so amazing on NCL. The entertainment and service as well. I would love to cruise with NCL again. Our last cruises where with MSC which was not really comparable. But MSC has it own pros and cons. Waiting for the next part.
Out side is nice when the weather cooperates with warmth and wind. A warm temp and light wind works, but like you said high temps out there can make it uncomfortable! I heard him say unlimited starters and i wonder if it was new as le bistro says one only starter, one Salad, or one soup! I was first there on the Breakaway 08Jan23-22Jan23 on a B2B and was so disappointed by them being cheap on starters and salads and soups! An add on of a lobster was only an upcharge of $10, but now it's $25. I will never never get escargo at Le Bistro ever again! Glad your Cagney's Steakhouse meal was enjoyable except for the speed of it coming out too fast. Thanks for sharing your time aboard.
It's coming back Carol. But I can just not afford to make a 40 minute vlog every 2 weeks. I don't make money of this so I have a full time job. And this edit took me 46 hours. Some people search for info and I tried to comply to them aswell. And above all: my friends were speaking Dutch the entire evening so it useless content otherwise.
Another great video keep them coming.
Thx Kevin, will do!
I, too, was wondering how many pens he carried! 😂 I appreciate your humor, Bram!! 🖊️🖊️
Kendra he just kept handing pens, right? I sure thought that was funny, maybe he had a bad day 🤷♂️

They seem to change to rules on what you get quite often. Maybe it depends on how crowded the ship is...
Excellent video as usual!
Thanks Clare, glad you liked it!

Happy to hear you do the same. I always feel I don't tip enough, but we try to do our share.
Another great vid, Bram - thank you! On Norwegian Dawn next week and now thinking about what I’m ordering in Cagneys 😊
Tomahawk has left the menu now, just so you know 😅

Every ship or cruiseline has things you wish all ships had. There's no "perfect ship" if you ask me.

You didn't like the escargots? 😅
I think this was due to lower capacity. Useally is 1 starter, 1 soup or salad and so on.
I love Cagney's, great food
It sure is.
The reason, i believe, you sign for a zero check is to verify that you authorized the use of your specialty dining meal on your account.
That would make sense Robert!
Went Cagney on Friday night on the Prima. It was good.
Cqgney's and Le Bistro on Prima were good, but nothing more in my experience. There Palomar was the winner for me!
Your videos have changed so much, very sad, sorry for what you're going through 😢
