Wondering what dining is actually included on Norwegian Aqua — and what will cost you extra? In this video, I'm touring the buffet, bars, and restaurants and breaking down all the included dining venues and bars onboard, plus specialty (paid) options so you know exactly what to expect before you cruise. Also covered are helpful tips such as where to eat on embarkation day, where has the best Rum Swizzle (the National Drink of Bermuda), hours for the Surfside Cafe (main dining hall), and how to use the iPad system in the Indulge Food Hall. My apologies for not covering any breakfast content. If you are new here, I usually eat protein bars for breakfast. Most cruises basically have all of the usual things at breakfast, and I heard good things about the breakfast here, but nothing overly noteworthy so I didn't pressure Evie or Pam to vlog it. We also didn't do any speciality dining, but I will show what all of the places look like, and their menus can be found online. I will note that there were some good deals for specialty dining! 🍽️ WHAT'S COVERED: 0:00 Intro 0:15 Main Dining Room (Hudson's & The Commodore Room - multiple visits) 5:56 Ice Cream Machine Locations 6:53 Surfside Cafe Buffet Tour 14:07 Observation Lounge 14:48 Indulge Food Hall 18:37 The Local Bar & Grill 19:03 Specialty Dining (Not Included in Base Fare): Los Lobos, Le Bistro, Nama, Cagney's Steakhouse, Palomar, Sukhothai, Hasuki, The Haven, Onda by Scarpetta 21:23 Gift Shop with Snacks 21:46 Bars: The Vibe (not included), Studios Lounge (not really a bar, but only for people in studio rooms), Metropolitan, Humidor Lounge, Whisky Bar, Swirl Wine Bar, Syd Norman's Pour House, Waves Pool Bar, Bull's Eye, Belvedere, Starbucks (not included), Penrose, Solei, Luna 24:19 Best Rum Swizzle Location 25:31 Final Thoughts & How Food Compares to Other Cruise Lines 📌 ABOUT THIS CRUISE: Norwegian Aqua to Bermuda from NYC Cruise Line: Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) 👍 If this helped you plan your cruise, give it a thumbs up and subscribe for more Norwegian Aqua reviews and cruise tips! #NorwegianAqua #NCL #CruiseDining I will be sharing other parts of the Bermuda Cruise Itinerary on the Norwegian Aqua out of NYC so subscribe if you don't want to miss any of those!
