I was on the Zandaam in january. We had the orange package in a non suite room. getting on and off the ship pretty much when we wanted to. No line at dinner, but we did eat late quite a bit. There was one extra menu item at dinner. never made it to breakfast in the MDR. The upgrade in robes was nice! there is supposed to be a separate line for orange members at the guest services desk. this was not the case when i was there and i let them know. they made it right. Had a free stateroom upgrade within the same class of cabin. a cheap totebag ( it was handy) welcome glass of bubbly. expanded room service was free, fresh squeeze Oj and mimosas. we paid for the upgrade. i think it was worth it. but it should have better dinning extras. like bring back lobster with a $15 up charge. The piano bar was a highlight. Clara Vee, was amazing!

Skip the drink plans. Unless you drink 11-15. Drinks a day. That will be the break even point, vs. buying drinks individually, without any drink package. The packages are not a good deal.
