RocketMan275 Posted January 2 #4 Share Posted January 2 The NCL website is now showing American Diner as complimentary on ships that have one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare G-DawgMN Posted January 2 #5 Share Posted January 2 (edited) I wonder if it's an upcoming change, my January cruise on the Breakaway still shows A la carte. But the website for the ship does show complimentary...the menu is not available right now though. Edited January 2 by KSSS2013 a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBSESSIVEWORLDTRAVELER Posted January 2 #6 Share Posted January 2 (edited) I've been on the Breakaway many times and it wasn't complimentary which is why I avoided it like the plague. But your screenshot is from the NCL website. I dont think NCL wants to take the risk of being accused of false advertising, so it's likely complimentary. Considering what's on the menu it should be. Can anyone currently on the Breakaway confirm? Edited January 2 by OBSESSIVEWORLDTRAVELER 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it had to come to this. If they can't convince anyone to pay for a meal there, they might as well give it away. We have eaten there perhaps four times in total over a span of ten or so cruises on ships which have one. Almost every time we either were the only customer or maybe there were one or two others. We never have paid for lunch there. Usually Haven guests can eat there for free on embarkation day because the Haven restaurant usually is not open at that time. On another occasion when we were not in the Haven, the GM took a shine to us and gave us a coupon for a free meal there. I would say that the food is quite good, perhaps a cut above O'Sheehan's for burgers and hot dogs. On at least one occasion we enjoyed lobster rolls there, not available anywhere else on the ship. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garnet115 Posted January 2 #10 Share Posted January 2 It’s in my planner for next week on the Getaway as complimentary. Menu looks very similar - but not identical - to osheehans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare shof515 Posted January 2 #13 Share Posted January 2 Sailing on the breakaway in October and i too noticed it: The link is also working with a new menu here: https://www.ncl.com/sites/default/files/American-Diner-A_Mobile-Menu_010224.pdf The new menu is completely different. It is now basic offerings R.I.P. my favorite mozzarella sticks 😞 😞 😞 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new menu with meatloaf and other items looks good. One extra free place to eat. They must be up to something. Probably about to raise the DSC an extra $5 per person per day on all of us. 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TenForward Posted January 3 #17 Share Posted January 3 Showing as complimentary on my April Getaway cruise. Menu is still showing mozzarella sticks, for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand and Seas Posted January 3 #18 Share Posted January 3 I noticed a few of the items are exactly the same as at the Local. (Wrangler burger, Cuban pork, Chicken salad sandwich.) The only time the American Diner seems to be somewhat busy is first day for Haven lunch overflow. While I would miss the Lobster roll sliders, I think it's a great idea to move this venue back to complimentary. (Still mourning the loss of the old Flamingo Grill on the Getaway, and was it called Uptown Grill on Breakaway??) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbrown84 Posted January 3 #23 Share Posted January 3 don't know how long it has been the case, but it looks like the American Diner is now complimentary. Guess I'll try it out on my next cruise since I never had before. Any recommendations for what to try? The pull pork sliders and the wrangler burger are both looking good to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mking8288 Posted January 3 #25 Share Posted January 3 Interesting changing, suffice to say, by NCL for 2024 ... hmmm, why not, Déjà vu - almost as if they are re-introducing partially, restoring the old ... original O'Sheehan's All Day menu like meatload, with the new, although I seemed to recall mousse being around - taking away the vanilla ice cream option w the pound cake, often served semi-melting. That's great for the outdoors on *Away ships sailing in warmer climate, weather-permitting to sit on the open/upper deck and things aren't rocking and rolling around. Call it O'Sheehan's 2.0 haha ?? Until they figure out what to do next by the next scheduled dry dock, a subtle acknowledgement that the paid concept for diner food wasn't working. Cheers 😁 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
