Orchid Garden

Specialty Dining

Cagney's Steakhouse: Steak is the standard at this American-style steakhouse. Select from choice cuts of Black Angus perfectly prepared like traditional T-bone or tender Prime Rib. Don’t forget to order Cagney's made-from-scratch jumbo crab cakes and a side of truffle fries. This restaurant is available for an additional cost.

La Cucina: Buonasera! Enjoy the finest ingredients at Norwegian's vibrant Italian ristorante. Spark a conversation amongst friends over a great bottle of wine and freshly baked artisan farm bread. Dine on classic dishes like pasta carbonara or lobster fettuccine. Then order the affogato and indulge in espresso over macadamia nut ice cream. This restaurant is available for an additional cost.

Le Bistro: Ornate French restaurant inspired by the colors, planting and artwork of the Pacific Islands. This restaurant is available for an additional cost.

Moderno Churrascaria: If you’re looking for a unique experience, Norwegian's authentic Brazilian steakhouse is a must. Start with an impressive salad bar of imported cheeses, olives, cured meats, ceviche and specialty salads. Be sure to save room for the delicious skewers of slow-roasted meats including beef, pork, lamb and chicken – all carved table-side by Norwegian's Pasadores. This restaurant is available for an additional cost.

Sushi: Take a seat at the sushi bar and watch in amazement as chefs expertly slice, carve, and roll the freshest ingredients into works of delicious art. This restaurant is available for an additional cost.

Teppanyaki: Flying shrimp. Onion volcanoes. Twirling knives. The sizzles and surprises never cease at Norwegian's authentic Japanese Hibachi restaurant. Sit around a lively shared table as a skillful chef slices, chops and grills steak, seafood and chicken on a large steel grill right before your eyes. Teppenyaki's chilled, sake-infused Wasabi Cocktail will have you flipping, too. This restaurant is available for an additional cost.

Garden Café

Casual Dining

Bali Hai Bar: A hot air balloon theme where the bar itself is styled as a ballooning basket with sandbags, ropes and a rattan front.

Garden Café: Made-to-order action stations, always-changing menu options, a fresh salad bar and a dessert bar make this way more than a traditional buffet.

O'Sheehan's Bar & Grill: This place is so inviting, everyone here really may eventually know your name. Dine on American classics as well as your favorite comfort foods, served 24 hours a day.

Orchid Garden: Enjoy a complimentary Asian Fusion dining venue featuring freshly prepared noodles, delicious wok fried dishes, authentic soups, and more.

The Great Outdoors: A spacious outdoor buffet with many choices that will surely keep you coming back for more.

Topsiders Bar & Grill: On deck near the Pools is Topsiders, a full bar and grill in close proximity to an ample sunning area and two hot tubs. Think of it as a total resort experience.

Room Service: If you can't come to the restaurant, Norwegian will bring the restaurant to you. Norwegian offers a menu of items that can be delivered to your stateroom. Room service is available 24 hours a day (a convenience charge applies to each order placed).
