Bonita John Posted April 19, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 19, 2019 We are cruising May 11th 2019 on the Symphony and just realized via our app the specialty restaurants are no longer serving lunch on sea days. Only day 1 and day 7. We have the UPD and expected to eat in the Specialty restaurants for lunch on the sea days but once again we the customers are forced to figure out what is happening on our cruise via blog media. Although the change from Ultimate to Unlimited was nice (if you want to be a total food glutton) we only found out based on blog reports. We still are unsure what restaurants are included. Vintages? For the lunches: Day 1 we purchased the Key - lunch included. Day 7, we plan on being off the ship having a perfect day. Days 2-6 show no lunch venues not even MDR.

Don't trust the app for something like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be news for just about everyone here on CC who usually post noteworthy changes like that quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just a glitch in the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonita John Posted April 19, 2019 Author #9 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I guess my "newbie" status was very representative of my original post. A seasoned person would have realized information obtained from the cruise company has a tendency of being very vague. For some reason starting 4/27/19 the app had changed the specialty restaurants to 6pm versus 5:30pm and the lunch days. Based on the responses I guess I should not put much credence on info obtained from the app. My bad. Just being a little "OCD" so I am not boarding with a bunch of surprises. What I should do is just pony up and buy the Drink package and stop worrying about the details... LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted April 20, 2019 #10 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) App is very unreliable before you get on the ship. Worked fairly well onboard a few weeks ago on Navigator, especially the "Hungry Now" tab that told which venues were open right now.
