Unlimited Dining Package vs the Specialty Dining Package

[Arzeena]

Can anyone please specify how these work?

Unlimited Dining Package vs the Specialty Dining Package? I am aware that for the specialty package there is a certain $ amount or # of meals allocated per person. But what about the unlimited one?

(The unlimited package is not currently offered but we had a cruise booked a long time ago and that was one of the promos.)

The UDP is counted by days, which meant you could eat in two specialty restaurants in one day and it counted as one day (I would ask if you plan to do that that this wasn't changed). The SDP is counted by meals, so if you ate at two specialty restaurants in one day, it would count as two meals.

Thanks. That makes sense.

I sailed under the UDP twice. Each time we ate at a specialty restaurant each evening (7 nights total). You could also make two reservations per evening if desired. We did this twice, electing to go to dinner and then wait a few hours before going for dessert. To me, if you have the UDP it's a much more inclusive option. Wish it was still available, so enjoy!! :)

Also, earlier versions of the UDP gave you free first night Cirque/Illusionarium. Later it became a percentage off then a discount amount. The dates of the terms and condition's changes are documented in a few threads if you search, not sure if this applies to your ship.

Thanks. Sounds like I will have to go on a strict diet pre cruise, to be able to enjoy all the restaurants:D

We are on the Dawn. I like the first night "special" offer, but I am not sure if it is for all ships.

It only applied to Breakaway & Getaway that had those venues.
