Any discounts/benefits to booking specialty restaurants on first night of cruise?

[DimSum]

I was reading an online article about secrets to cruising. It mentioned there were discounts if you booked a specialty restaurant on the first night of your cruise. Any truth to this on a NCL cruise? I wasn't planning on booking a specialty restaurant but may consider if there is a discount/perk.

With so many having the UDP I do not see NCL having to incentivize first night specialty dining. Before the UDP, and it being an included perk... Yes. Now? No.

I'm interested in finding out this answer as well. There was a discount for restaurants on the RCCL Enchantment cruise I was on in January and I'm hoping there will be when I'm on the NCL Sky in November!

There used to be a discount and/or free bottle of wine on the first night. I haven't seen that offered in 2 or 3 years now.

They used to give first night discounts, but not for while now.

Only advantage (discount) I can see is getting the reservation TIME that suits

your schedule. This especially in a NON-suite cabin. Maybe some very current

Promo that gives a discount & bottle of wine - unadvertised.

Keep asking NCL or your TA for a definitive answer.

There maybe a tie in with your Latitudes status ?

It has been several years since that was offered on NCL.
