O'Sheehan's on the Norwegian Getaway

O'Sheehan's, also previously known as Blue Lagoon
on older ships, is the go-to spot for pub food and snacks or a hearty comfort meal. They offer favourites such as Hearty Chicken Pot Pie, Meatloaf, as well as Buffalo Wings. Open early morning till late at night for those craving
a midnight snack, O'Sheehan's is a great place to satisfy those cravings. I mean, afterall you are
on vacation :)


Beautifully decorated with Sports Memorabilia, TV's playing the latest soccer match and
a cute little bowling alley ($5 per play) and childhood favourite arcade games, the atmosphere
is family friendly. During our visits to
O'Sheehan's, I would have to say the service
was quite slow, most likely due to the fact that
they were understaffed. However, our servers
were incredibly friendly each time, and our
food arrived piping hot.




The Warm Spinach & Artichoke Dip (3/5) served with Tortilla chips was flavourful
and loaded with romano cheese. It had the
right consistency , without being too thin or thick,
so it was easy to dip and eat. I did not taste much
artichoke however, as it was loaded with
spinach.









Their famous Buffalo Wings (4.5/5) were
each perfectly coated with just enough
sauce, while still maintaining it's crispiness.
The sauce was not too hot, which we enjoyed
and were incredibly juicy. These were great,
especially with their large selection of beers and
draughts.







 As I am writing this review....thousands of
miles away, my mouth is watering for
their Chicken Pot Pie (5/5) . I've had my
fair share of Chicken Pot Pies at local
pubs and diners here in the city, but after
trying the one from O'Sheehan's, it easily
wins the best Chicken Pot Pie Crown in
my books. Topped with a GINORMOUS
flaky and buttery pastry, the flavourful
broth underneath was loaded with a
plethora of carrots, celery, onions,
and of course large, tender pieces of chicken. 
We had this at least 5 times, and each time,
it was served piping hot! Perfect, especially
after a long day at sea.




 Another Pub favourite of mine, are
Fried Mozzarella Sticks (3.5/5).These
were just okay even though they were fried
to perfection, as the breading was a tad too
thick and the accompanying Marinara
Sauce was too runny. I did enjoy the fact
that even with the heavy breading, the
Mozzarella on the inside was nice
and squeaky.







After devouring an entire Chicken Pot
Pie by himself, and munching away
on Buffalo Wings, he announced that
he was still hungry. At the age of 15,
I guess it was that time of the growing
process! Anyways back to the food.
He decided to go with the Hot Dog (3.5/5)
which was hidden over a mountain of
fries. It also came with a mini side of Chili
which was on the saltier side. The hot dog
was juicy and the bun was nice and soft.
The fries were the highlight in my opinion.
These were super crispy and still piping
hot. They tasted so much like Mcdonald's
fries but even better in my opinion. Step it up
Mcdonald's.


Since we all still had room for dessert,
we got a Brownie Cheesecake (3/5) to share.
Topped with a dollop of whipped cream,
the Cheesecake itself was just average.
The Brownie, like I've said before
in my other posts was just not good here
on the ship. Maybe it was due to the
fact I just didn't like the sweetness of it.
The Cheesecake was slighty sweet and smooth
and it did compliment the brownie well.
I did enjoy the addition of the Marshmallows
in Caramel sauce though.


O'Sheehan's definitely exceeded my expectations this cruise and I love how they have something for everyone. Although they
were understaffed most of the time, the food was great and made our week
here very enjoyable.
