Ultimate Dining Package....anyone see this on recent Oasis Sailings

[John&LaLa]

We are currently on Rhapsody and bought the Ultimate Dining Package straight after boarding. It is $20.00 per person per day. We can eat in either Chops or Giovanni's or get the $20.00 credit off the a la Carte bill in Izumi, so no discount for the latter one. The amount is charged daily to the account rather than all at once.

 

DH had a migraine on our third night and I cancelled our reservation with only 2 hours notice and just went to the WJ while he slept and didn't eat. They haven't charged our account for that day.

Tonight we will try Izumi for the first and maybe only time as we are not huge fans of Japanese food.

 

The only downside is the weight gain. :) :(

 

Is it good for lunch

This is what RCCL emailed me about the dining discounts on Oasis:

 

Guests who make three or more reservations once onboard will receive a straight discount, instead of onboard credit, for the same amount. Three specialty dining reservations will receive 20% of the value in onboard credit or discount, four reservations will receive 25% of the value in onboard credit or discount and five plus reservations will receive 30% of the value in onboard credit or discount. The dining package discount is applicable to all specialty restaurants that take reservations. If reservations are cancelled after the onboard credit is posted, the discount amount will be altered accordingly. Onboard credit is applied on day one of the cruise and is given to the primary person on the cruise booking. Onboard credit may be used at the guest’s discretion for onboard purchases and is not combinable with any other offer.

 

They also clarified that if you reserve in a specialty restaurant that charges by the item (i.e. Sabor):

 

With a la carte pricing, including the a la carte pricing at Sabor Taqueria and Tequila Bar, you are charged once onboard. The discount for Sabor Taqueria and Tequila Bar is applied as an onboard credit. The discount for Sabor Taqueria and Tequila Bar that will be applied as an onboard credit will be placed on your SeaPass Card once you have dined at Sabor Taqueria and Tequila Bar.

 

 

This is different from the $20 per day plan

Is there a different $ amount for children?

Are tips added to the $20.00 a day?

Correction. Just ate at Izumi and it is a $30 credit.

[cinnamon]

We paid our Grats beforehand as we would have been MTD.

Sorry, don't know about children other than the fact it says children 3-13 are welcome before 7.00 pm in Specialty restaurants.

To get the $20 meal, what is the minimum number of dining days or restaurants. EG: If a 7 night cruise, must you dine the entire 7 nights or $140 per person.

[cinnamon]

Yes I think so, ours is a 10 night cruise and we were committed to $20 a night each.

Someone said you can also go for breakfast and lunch, is that correct? For the same 20.00?

I was going to ask the same question. Does the daily $20 cover all daily meals in specialty restaurants. If so, can we consider this in the same vein as the liquor package.

[cinnamon]

No. Just dinners. We are though going to the special Indian dinner in Giovanni's tonight which in theory is either $29 or $35 depending on which bit of paper you read. Initially they said it was not included, then relented when challenged.

cinnamon,

 

Thank you for your reply.
