Confused about specialty dining times

[_1nc0gn1t0_]

I'll be on Navigator from 11/25 to 11/28 on a 3 night to Ensenada.

 

I'm considering the UDP, but am a bit confused on the hours of operation for the specialty dining restaurants.

 

Looking at past cruise compasses, it shows Jamie's as the only specialty restaurant open for lunch on day 1. It shows Jamie's and Hooked as the only specialty restaurants open for lunch on day 2. Day 3 none for lunch.

 

I've read on many different forums, Reddit, cruise sites, etc that Chops, Izumi, etc are open on sea days. Is that not the case for shorter cruises like mine?

 

Also, to fuel more confusion, the cruise planner itself is selling lunch packages at Chops, Izumi, Hooked, and Jamie's.

 

Can anybody with experience clarify here?

Welcome to CC.

 

Pick the closest in 3 day sailing on the app and it will list the most current opening times of the venues.

Didn't even realize you could choose sailings on the app that you haven't book, so thanks for that.

 

But it's still a bit confusing. The hours still show the same as my cruise, but it gives lunch pricing for the restaurants outside of Jamie's and Hooked, where the hours don't show lunch times.

 

I may have to just reach out to RC.

Ignore pricing and just go by the venue operating times for the closest in sailing.

Hi @_1nc0gn1t0_, I am pretty sure on your 3 day cruise day3 is port day in Ensenada so NO specialty restaurants will be open but Playmakers should be open to use UDP.

And Johnny Rockets Express will also be open and is included in the UDP.
