Jenjer Posted May 27, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 27, 2022 We are excited to be sailing on Oasis over New Years especially since we have stops at Labadee and Cococ Cay. I am looking at the UDP as there is no 3 day or 5 day packages something we have gotten in the past because we really enjoy the specialty restaurants. I noticed in the fine print it says excludes "Holiday Celebration Dinners" Do all the specialties have a special menu for NYE or just a special price? Does the MDR do anything special for New Years. We have never sailed this time of year. Thanks for your advice and past experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same menu just the tiny tiny bottle of Moet and of course a special price $$$$ and UDP is excluded . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celoplyr Posted May 27, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I've found that Holiday Celebration dinners are usually only at 150 Central Park and Chops (maybe some others, but not all) so you can use it on NYE at a less fancy, fancy restaurant.

Rare killsport Posted May 27, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 27, 2022 When we were on the Jewel over Xmas (same issue) with UDP. Both Chops & Giovanni's were "special menu" only so we went to Izumi. Normal menu there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were able to use our UDP at every restaurant except Chops on that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynt Posted May 27, 2022 #6 Share Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) We encountered this over Christmas on the Liberty with UDP. Christmas day as we were leaving the WJ they offered us a BOGO free. So we paid an extra $50pp on top of our UDP for Christmas dinner at Giovanni's because we like their steaks better. Yes it included the very small bottle of Moet champagne as well as lobster. They split the lobster and grilled it. It was delicious along with the filet mignon. Would we do it again? Probably not but it was Christmas and the cruise was our gift to each other so we splurged. We tried to eat and taste everything on the menu that evening. LOL! Edited May 27, 2022 by cynt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenjer Posted May 27, 2022 Author #7 Share Posted May 27, 2022 That is great news at least we can use it that night. I will plan on us eating someplace other than 150 and Chops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having sailed on Oasis at Christmas with the UDP you will be able to choose from Izumi, Hibachi, Portside BBQ, Playmakers or Johnny Rockets. Make sure that if you want Izumi or Hibach you book that as soon as you board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARandomTraveler Posted May 28, 2022 #9 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) I don't see this notice on the package for my Thanksgiving sailing. I haven't purchased it yet, but plan to. Is this notice something I'll see after purchasing? Or is it possible that for some reason there are no restrictions on my holiday sailing? *Nevermind, I see it. How do we know which restaurants it applies to, and which it doesn't? If it applies to all restaurants that day, it makes the price of the dining package even less desirable.

cruisegirl1 Posted May 28, 2022 #11 Share Posted May 28, 2022 We’ve been on several NYE cruises and every one had a special MDR meal, souvenir menu, party decorations (hat, beads, noisemaker). The meal was always festive. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Rockets, Playmakers and portside just seem more like lunch options to me, not a dress up Holiday dinner. Then see if the MDR has better menu.
