eyern1 Posted October 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I’m a little confused with what I’ve seen. If you buy the dining package pre boarding, is the menu limited vs what you get as a show up patron onboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you get to choose from the 'Experience' menu which is a sub-set of the full à la carte menu. This should be no surprise as, for example, there are steaks on the Butcher's Cut menu that would indivudually cost way more than the price you pay as part of the package. Just look at any of the menus that people have posted and you'll see the separate section for the 'Experience' menu. You can also choose the Experience menu as a prix fixe option as a regular diner without a package. Edited October 28, 2023 by Mark_T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted October 28, 2023 #3 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) There's also.... You may replace a dish from the Dining Experience menu with one from the à la carte menu for 50% of the listed price. You can also order any additional dish at full price. ...in certain restaurants if you have a dining package.

eyern1 Posted October 28, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted October 28, 2023 So it’s not quite as good of a deal as seems. I’ll probably stick to the food I’ve already paid for. Thanks y’all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks y’all. It is cheaper than paying for the experience menu once you are onboard, and the descriptions do cover the menu limitation: It is still a good deal if you want to eat at the speciality restaurants.

And not in the Yacht Club. I found the Filet in YC better than butchers cut from the experience menu. Probably will not go to the butchers cut if I'm in YC but may go there if not in YC.

Last trip ended last week. 3 out of YC filets pretty good out of 7, other 4 rubber and could not chew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted October 29, 2023 #10 Share Posted October 29, 2023 To add, while you got baked potato with steak in the past, it is now scoop of mashed. Could you get a baked, probably but they were very busy all times we went for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got off Royal Caribbean and it was $132 for the three meal package plus 18% prepaid gratuities or $156. For $71on MSC it was a great deal. Now they've upped it to $110 and they pick the three restaurants, one of which is Hola where it's $18 for all you can eat anyway. So you're now paying $92 for the other two meals which is not a great deal. Thankfully I already bought the package for $71 on my upcoming January cruise, and you don't have to use Hola as one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
