NCL Lunch Food at Main Dining Room (Norwegian Star)

See what NCL's main dining room lunch food & menus are like! These were from our June 2022 Iceland cruise aboard the Norwegian Star. There were some issues but overall we were pleased with the food, and that the menus were different on the two different sea days MDR lunches were offered. All the food you see in the video are included with your cruise fare.
MDR Lunch runs from 12 PM to 1:30 PM, and might not be advertised on the daily schedule (Freestyle Daily). So don't miss out on it even if it's not listed!

I’m always amazed how much food you eat & still stay slim 🦆💕

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@TheMartinezpepe]

Very informative and elegant video! Thank you!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Glad you enjoyed it- thank you for the comment! 😊

[@paulconnors2078]

The Tiramisu was the best-looking version of it I've ever seen!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

That was a good tiramisu for sure! 😋

[@CoifTube]

Yeah but doesn't look like a Tiramisu lol

[@grannyoffive1313]

I look forward to your food videos...thank you!!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

You are so welcome- thanks for the comment! 😊

[@Texas2Trinidad]

Love your hair! ❤ Thank you all for the time and effort it took all of you to do these videos for us! They have helped me tremendously! I feel much more comfortable about commenting in some of these groups now and I'm becoming more familiar with the industry. I'm west of you and would appreciate seeing each of you on a cruise one day. I'll get your son whatever icecream or shake he wants, if he still likes it, of course! ❤ to you all!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Our pleasure- thank you so much for the kind words! 😊 🥰 Maybe we'll bump into you one day! Our son still enjoys the ice cream a lot lol 😁

Though I haven’t been on an NCL ship since 2013, I can’t say any of the food was amazing then. Good, yes. But not over the top. Having just made dinner ( spicy shrimp burritos and sautéed zucchini) , that tiramisu has me salivating! Excellent video as always. I love your production style: labeling the dishes, sharing the menu, and Joanna’s honest assessments. And I love the phrase baby newborn scallops! Be well, friends. Safe travels.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you so much Brad! 😊 Yeah the food was fine- not sure if it's as good as the dinner you just had. For this cruise it was more the destinations that were the attractions (Scotland, Norway & Iceland). Stay safe!

[@davidfence6939]

Food is subjective

[@katrinaassoumou6400]

This is great information to know. Thank you so much. Amen

[@TravelTouristVideos]

You are so welcome- thanks for the comment! 😊

[@donnathompson1682]

Always love your videos. Good honest feedback on the food. We have had some of the very same dishes you tried on NCL. Across the board, we enjoyed the food.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you so much! 😊 We enjoyed many of the dishes too!

[@susanbritton-giza5054]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos!😍

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@CoifTube]

Great video, i'm travelling next week on this ship i hope the food is good

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you! Have an amazing cruise on the Star!

[@sapaia]

The NCL cruise ship seems to have a high quality of food for a reasonable price. Watching this video made me want to get on board.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

We like NCL too & have actually have cruised with them the most!

[@kayel4487]

Thanks for your detailed review! The Asian sliders looked good!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Those were pretty tasty! 😋 Thanks for the comment! 😊

[@brucebaker3523]

Love the detail and honesty! Booked 18 days on NCL Prima in Oct 2023 and wondered how many specialty dining options we should purchase. We have never cruised with NCL but are very excited to explore Europe and compare NCL to RCL. Wonderland and Izumi are our favorite RCL restaurants but it's been awhile since we've been able to cruise.

[@donnathompson1682]

Going on the Prima in Jan 2023, Carribean cruise for 7 days

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you! 😊 The Prima looks like a very exciting cruise ship- we hope to check it out maybe next year as well. You'll probably find that the included food for NCL at the buffet & MDR are probably not going to be as good as Royal, but they certainly have really good specialty restaurants like Royal.

[@Holidaygal]

Hubby had the St. Louis ribs for lunch said they were some of the best he ever had.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Nice! We enjoyed those as well! Which ship was this?

[@freeagent8225]

I booked for Nov 2023. I will be grateful for the food and my health. I come from a poor country; Australia.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Still a ways, but have a great cruise!

[@kathymills1959]

Thanks for the preview for my upcoming Med cruise - unfortunately we only have one seaday to try the lunch!!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Our pleasure! Sounds like an action-packed cruise- have a great time! 🙂

[@TravelOften]

Nice video as usual!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you! Cheers! 🙂

[@debrasmith2422]

I love what you are wearing.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@kikeleinr8451]

I feel happy for her to see her enjoying western food 💗

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Some good dishes there 😋

[@718_tay6]

Do u know if the menu is the same for the escape?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

It should be pretty similar!

[@janicestewart7546]

have sailed with RCI and NCL, and will say RCI food is better, NCL is good, but not as good!

[@bhismilinirampersad3360]

👍👍🇹🇹🇹🇹

[@TravelTouristVideos]

🙏😊

[@danbartiromo2693]

You guys are amazing. IMO, NCL is weak. I’m done but I appreciate your positivity!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@kathyvelasquez3682]

Unique..otherwords not the best? Can I ask who eats the other food, that Joanne doesn't finish?

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Joann tastes the food but we all share between the 3 of us (2 adults & a hungry teenager) 🙂

[@suzanneobrien5279]

The vegetarian options looked very poor... 😕

[@GaryMillyz]

Fun drinking game- take a shot every time she takes a bite of a protein and says "tender". You'll be trashed by the end of every video ;)

[@debwelsh2564]

Your video is great. I was not impressed with the food. Dishes looked dry & needing a sauce. We are spoiled & always book in the Haven or eat in the specialty restaurants. You are beautiful & have such a soft pl Asante voice.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

That's good to hear that the Haven food are much better. We have tried their specialty restaurants and thought they were really good. It felt to us NCL (and many other cruise lines) are trying to push guests towards specialty restaurants. Thank you so much for the comment! 😊

[@ruthbanon6049]

The food looked pretty standard and medium level. Not great for the most part.

[@patrick8128]

I know now an easy way to go on a diet!

[@TravelTouristVideos]

We would agree with that assessment 🙂

[@carolmassero5699]

I really would like to see menu then food! Sorry but not her eating in every Meal! Not being mean but we do not always have your thoughts on food at every film you do! Love your little boy! Thanks ❤

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Thank you very much! 😊 Actually a majority of our viewers want to see my wife provide feedback on the food, but you can always skip forward.

[@carolmassero5699]

@@TravelTouristVideos Thanks I will do that! Nit all the time of course! She is sweet! Thanks to both for these videos!

[@SteveInScotland]

That, unfortunately, did not look good at all and for food to be served cold is awful.

[@TravelTouristVideos]

Yeah that was an unpleasant surprise, though they did have several pretty good dishes. Thanks for the comment! 🙂

[@phillipvietri8786]

Very pedestrian food. The sort of things that could be bought in and New York street, only the Americans do it better!
