Along with Norwegian Escape’s specialty restaurants, Ocean Blue on Norwegian Breakaway and Norwegian Getaway will begin offering à la carte options on Oct. 3, and the new à la carte dining will be available fleetwide beginning in January.
Other entertainment dining across the fleet, including Cirque Dreams & Dinner and The Illusionarium, will remain at a cover charge. Those passengers who wish to reserve their dining times in advance can continue to do so via MyNCL; there is no charge to make a reservation and any à la carte selections will be added to their on-board account at the time of dining.
