Restaurant Takeovers

 

  • All Lead Passengers (indicated within your Sixthman Account) can make TWO Restaurant Takeover Reservations for their entire cabin before sailing via their NCL Account through 11:59pm ET on April 28th, 2025.

  • Each cabin’s Lead Passenger was able to make two Restaurant Takeover Reservations before 4/28/2025. As of 4/30/2025, pre-booking reservations are no longer available. Each cabin will be manually assigned two additional dining reservations, at Sixthman’s discretion. 

    Additional reservations are being added manually for each cabin based on cabin occupancy. These two additional reservations will be added by the Sixthman team between now and Saturday, May 3rd. As these are added, they can be previewed in your NCL account's Vacation Summary or the My Plans section of the Norwegian Cruise Line App. Additionally, on Sunday, May 4th, an email will be sent sharing all four of your confirmed dining reservations.

     

  • No, Restaurant Reservations are included in the price of your booking. When logged into your NCL account, you will see wording that says Charges Apply and Gratuity; please disregard.

  • Reservations will be reviewed throughout sailing, and any cabin with more than one reservation in a single night will have the overage removed at Sixthman’s discretion. 

    You will not be consulted on which reservation(s) you’d like to cancel, potentially losing the reservation(s) at the restaurant(s) you’re most excited about.

     

  • Please arrive to your reservation on time! After 15 minutes, the unclaimed reservation will be released. If a guest shows up after that 15-minute window, then those guests will be seated at the next available opportunity, if one exists.

  • Grand Pacific is the largest dining venue, so every cabin will have at least two Grand Pacific (Deck 7, MID) Restaurant Takeover Reservations. Other restaurants will be prioritized for the the additional two assigned dining reservations so that all guests can have unique and varied dining experiences while on board.

     

  • We’re utilizing the ship’s booking system, so the descriptions you’re seeing are from its standard sailings. You can preview which chefs are taking over which restaurants, and the curated menus featured at each Restaurant Takeover, HERE. Please make your reservation based on the corresponding restaurant.

  • Every guest has a total of four reservations. Reservations can be previewed within the My Plans section of the Norwegian Cruise Line App or at Sixthman.net/dining. If any of your cabin’s reservations do not align with your cabin’s plans, cancellations and changes can be made daily from 7:00 am - 5:00 pm, at the Restaurant Reservations Desk, located in Magenta (Deck 6, MID).

     

  • It’s both! You’ll have the opportunity to enjoy their menu if you book either Magenta or Le Bistro.

  • As of 4/30/2025, No additional cancellations or changes can be made before sailing to your dining reservations. If any of your cabin's reservations do not align with your cabin's plans, cancellations and changes can be made on board throughout your vacation any of the following ways:

    • The Restaurant Reservations Desk, located in Magenta (Deck 6, MID), 7 am - 5 pm daily.
    • Call 050 on any ship phone.
    • The host stands at any Restaurant Takeover restaurant during restaurant hours.

    Additionally, restaurants may have flexibility in real-time. The restaurants may be able to accommodate walk-ups during restaurant hours. Pending availability, you can be added to a waitlist and get notified (via pager) if/when a reservation opens for your cabin.
