Any Getaway dining threads with pics?

[Mirrasi]

Are there any dining threads for the getaway with reviews and pics?

 

 

Also, I am booking an inside room so will need to purchase the upgraded plan separately. It says the specialty restaurants are half off for 9 year olds. So if I bought him the UDP is it half off or should I purchase each place separately?

Children

 

Children may order off of our complimentary children’s menu in any of our specialty restaurants at no charge, or they may dine for 50% off the cover charge by selecting from the ½ price children’s specialty restaurant menu.

Okay, so I'll have to buy his ala carte, he wont eat the kids menu stuff. :rolleyes:

 

So when I book reservations ahead online, can I book for him along with me, even though he's not on the UDP?

Yes, you can. Once you purchase the UDP, (and are close enough to your sailing time to make online reservations), you can make reservations at any of the specialty restaurants for whatever number is in your party (whether or not they all have UDP).

Yes, but you will be charged fully price initially.

 

More info from the web site:

 

All adjustments for non-package pre-paid reservations for children will be completed onboard through the posting of a credit to your stateroom folio. If the child ordered from the complimentary children’s menu, then a credit equal to the amount of the cover charge for the restaurant will be posted to your folio. If the child ordered from the ½ price children’s specialty menu, then a credit equal to 50% of the amount of the cover charge for the restaurant will be posted to your folio.

They will not be charged full price for the child unless the UDP is purchased for him (and there is no need to do that). My husband and I have the UDP and we made reservations online at every specialty restaurant. We just put the reservation under my husband's name and said 'party of 4' - did not get charged for the kids. We will just pay the 1/2 price charge for them at the time of our dinner. You only pay the full price for kids (and then get reimbursed 1/2) if you purchase the UDP for them ahead of time.

If I have 2 kids (8&12), and they were given the UDP as part of the freestyle offer, are they allowed to order from the regular adult menu? What is on the 1/2 price kids menu?

 

I would like for my kids to at least try to order something from the adult menu. Will they be allowed to order a mix of specialty menu and regular kids menu? (ie. mac&cheese + Fruits de Mer in one seating)

Thanks!

You are correct. I should have double checked before posting.

There is no half price kids menu.

 

If you pay for the kids in the speciality restaurant then you are charged half the cover charge and they select from the normal menu.

 

If they select from the kids menu (which I have always assumed is the same as the kids menu in the MDR but I could be wrong there) then you don't pay anything.

 

I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to get them something from the kids menu as well as the normal menu, as long as you pay the charge or they have the UDP.
