La Cucina is one of NCL’s Italian specialty restaurants and is featured on the Aqua, Bliss, Breakaway, Dawn, Epic, Escape, Gem, Getaway, Jade, Jewel, Joy, Pearl, Pride of America, Star, and Sun. This is the current 2025 menu, reflecting some major cuts that took place in 2024 and a new cover charge of $40 + 20% gratuity. If you have the dining package or are taking advantage of a Platinum meal, you can order one appetizer course, one entree, and one dessert. Here’s the menu followed by some food pics:
Here are photos of some of my family’s favorite dishes at La Cucina: beef tenderloin, salmon, mushroom risotto, cannoli, ricotta cheesecake, and tiramisu.
And with that…
Class Dismissed!
Never purchase cruise insurance through NCL. You’ll pay more and get less than if you purchase it on your own. Use a site like TravelInsurance.com* to compare rates and plans and get exactly what you want for the least amount of money. It’s a simple process – just enter your travel dates, total travel costs (flights, hotel, cruise fare, etc), and some basic information about yourself and see available plans and rates and read reviews. Savings can be significant and mean more to spend onboard, at port, or on another cruise!
