Norwegian Cruise Line has announced that the cover charge for Geoffrey Zakarian’s speciality restaurant has been raised from $35 to $49. Ocean Blue can be found on the line’s newest ship, Norwegian Breakaway, as well as the soon to debut Norwegian Getaway.
Ocean Blue is Norwegian’s self described, “first-ever fine-dining seafood experience.” The restaurant can be found on the Breakaway’s unique exterior promenade – The Waterfront.
The price adjustment comes as a surprise considering the Norwegian Breakaway had only sailed one, full length cruise before raising the price. The $14 price increase makes Ocean Blue the second most expensive dining experience in the Norwegian fleet. The most expensive dining experience is the Chef’s Table, which will cost guests $89 per person.
What do you think of this price increase? Would you pay $49 for Ocean Blue? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

This price point is too high in relation to NCL’s target market
NCL has some of the largest and most expensive suites out of the major cruise lines. It doesn’t take 300 people to fill this restaurant nightly.
Disgusting! All you should pay for on board is your drink, food should be included in the price you pay for the holiday!
I think $49 is a lot of money to pay extra when all of your meals should be included in the price. Just a way for them to suck more money out of the passengers.
I haven’t found the food on NCL very good at all, especially with a $49 cover.
Why, Why, Why, speciality dining was so relaxing, and enjoyable, now you have to get an extra Sail and Sink card. What is next charging you to flush the toilets.
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!
Wouldn’t consider it nickel and diming, other cruise lines don’t even offer this option. I rather have the base price lower and only the people interested in these options have to pay. I love NCL’s Cagney’s Steakhouse and the Bistro and often go a few times on each cruise!
NCL DOES nickel and dime you to death.. Other Cruise lines offer at least one specialty restaurant.. which is enough on any cruise ship.. on NCL unless you’re eating in what they loosely call the dining room or at the buffet which has better food choices than the dining room… your hand is in your pocket paying for anything else you want to eat!!!!!!
