Norwegian Sky Main Dining Rooms: The Palace and The Crossings
Norwegian Cruise Line created Freestyle Dining -- a flexible approach to dining in the restaurant of your choice, at a time convenient for you. The main dining rooms, The Palace and The Crossings, are the largest restaurants on the Norwegian Sky. You can almost always show up without a reservation and be seated right away.
The Palace:
Norwegian Sky's Palace restaurant is located mid ship on Deck 5. Starters include crab dip, fruit, and soups such as chilled apple bisque and beet soup. Grilled salmon, lean burgers, and fusilli pasta and barbecued pork are among main entrees featured on the lunch menu, and for dinner expect beef, fish, poultry, and vegetarian selections. You'll find pies, berries served in Grand Marnier sauce, fruit, and ice cream among your dessert choices in the Palace dining room on the Norwegian Sky.
The Crossings:
The Crossings dining room on the Norwegian Sky is aft on Deck 5. For dinner in either main dining room, look for six main entrees which remain constant, and three nightly specials which vary. Greek salads, baked shrimp, and French Onion Soup exemplify starters, and traditional main entree favorites include Grilled New York Strip Steak, baked chicken breast, and roasted salmon. Vegetarian Lasagna and Chicken Piccata with Gnocchi are among entrees for more adventuresome palates. Desserts in Norwegian Sky's Crossings restaurant include sherbet, cheesecake, chocolate mousse, and pies.
