"Garden Cafe" on the ship "NCL Epic"
Everything is as usual here - salads, meat and fish dishes, potatoes and rice, a corner with pizza and sandwiches, Indian and Asian dishes (3-4 each), casseroles and cereals, desserts and fruits. Depending on the theme of the evening, there may be dishes, for example, Mexican or Spanish cuisines. And there is always ice cream! Good and quality.
Restaurants of the Spe c ialty Dining category, as a rule, specialize in a specific cuisine (Japanese, Chinese, French, grill, etc.) and when visiting them, an additional fixed fee of $ 15-39 per person is charged (as it is called - for table reservation ). And the choice of dishes is already on the menu for free.

Whether you want to watch the sunset sitting on the balcony of your cabin or spend a romantic evening without prying eyes, room service is at your service . Each room has a menu where you can choose your favorite dishes and drinks. The service from 5:00 to 24:00 is free.
Usually, cruise ships have a system of shift meals in the main restaurant (or several restaurants). That is, there are two shifts (approximately at 18:00 and 20:30), from which you can choose the one that suits you best. A specific shift and a specific table in a restaurant are “assigned” to you.
Restaurant "Moderno Churrascaria" on the liner "NCL Epic"
As for the Norvegian Epic liner , the Freestyle Cruising concept operates here, that is, a free-style cruise. This means that you can come to the restaurant at any time and sit at any free table. Also on this liner there is a less strict dress code. In shorts and a T-shirt, you are unlikely to be allowed into the restaurant, but it is not necessary to wear a suit. The degree of elegance depends only on your personal desire, on how you want to spend this evening and how you want to feel.
