I've never known anyone who does.😕 Historically we never have... however, if this does include Playmakers, I could definitely seeing us having dinner at a specialty restaurant at 5:30, then a late night snack at Playmakers...

Playmakers and Hibachi included, no embarkation lunch, lunch on sea days IS included, no tapas in Vintages, and $35 credit for ala carte restaurants such as regular Izumi. I also want to add that I sent my question directly to Corporate office, and Tamika works under Mr Bayley. Perhaps she is a better and more knowledgable source than FB. Hopefully. Robntawn - do you mind sharing what email address you sent this to? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted April 13, 2019 #155 Share Posted April 13, 2019 So what does the below statement from the terms mean?? Lunch service when available? Guess it means when they want it to be available meaning sea days only?? Packages include service charge and food portion only for dinner and, when available, lunch service.

Well, I'm always suspicious of RC terminology, so I take it to mean when they want to make lunch available to the package people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinfromtampa Posted April 13, 2019 #157 Share Posted April 13, 2019 So you dress to garner attention but then are uncomfortable when you receive that attention. Help me out here I’m confused. I think you’re confusing me with someone else. We don’t dress to garner attention, and we aren’t uncomfortable by any that we do get. We’ve never experienced anything negative on a ship that I can recall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BNBR Posted April 14, 2019 #160 Share Posted April 14, 2019 No need to be negative. Maybe this change will be awesome. If it's as it appears, I can't wait to have dinner at Wonderland and late night snacks at Playmakers. Let's see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why: being a male couple, the looks from fellow passengers is still disturbing and it's just not worth the aggravation. You would think in this day and age, it wouldn't happen, but it does. You get better service and the food is of higher quality. On top of that, we're now saving $$$$$. Win win for us! So you posted a completely irrelevant comment, and went out of your way just to let everybody know you are a male couple, which nobody here could give a rat's tail about.

We found that the deserts in the specialty restaurants were far more elaborate and delicious than the ones in MDR and WJ, but food is subjective, so you might have a different opinion.

Two males don't necessarily mean they are a "couple." I travel with either my sis or sis-in-law and I cannot imagine people thinking we are a "couple."

firefox247 Posted April 14, 2019 Author #168 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I noticed that the price of the UDP went from $99 on the old UDP to $116 on the new UDP. Anyone else report a similar increase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else report a similar increase? Not for us - had previously purchased "Ultimate" for $199 on an Oasis 7-night. Now listed as "Unlimited" for the same $199. Which ship/nights showed an increase? FWIW: My order history also now says "Unlimited" as others have reported, so apparently the transfer is automatic for those with a prior purchase.

The UDP had only been listed for the 2020 cruise for a couple days before it was changed to Unlimited. I went to book it for $99 since I figured it would eventually go up and saw that it already had. Now I'll probably wait to see how the UDP on Mariner this May before booking again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph2017China Posted April 15, 2019 #172 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Why is this new package confusing? It's the same package as before, the same price and they removed restrictions. You can now eat more than once per evening, and you can order 2 entree's now. They added the Hibachi grill, and Playmakers for late night hot wings. The only thing they may have removed is embarking lunch. As far as getting a reservation, that is most likely won't be an issue. Not many people are going to pay the upcharge.

I have no idea how they are going to handle that. You need reservations, and they will "assume" that you will take the table for 2 hours. So, "walk ins" will only be seated, if the reservations are not full. They can also control false reservations by charging you a "no show" fee.
