sfxthx Posted November 1, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Sorry if this has been asked before, but I could not find an answer. We are cruising Norwegian Dawn in a few days and have two FAS Dining Vouchers and two free Platinum Meals. On our last cruise on Norwegian Star the Platinum Meals were only good for one appetizer, one main course and one dessert. How much can I order in Los Lobos if I use my free Platinum meal? Or should I better use one of my FAS Dining Vouchers? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KeithJenner Posted November 1, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 1, 2023 These days they are basically applying the same rules regardless of the type of voucher used. I have seen some people report slightly different experiences, but that can happen even when people are just using one type. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastalbreezes Posted November 1, 2023 #3 Share Posted November 1, 2023 In my experience, when using the FAS there's much more leeway being allowed to order what you want (e.g. more than one appetizer). On my last cruise a few weeks ago, when I used a Latitudes coupon it was one app, one entree, one dessert. Lobos in particular has so many delicious apps that personally I'd use the FAS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve found the same. The platinum vouchers they’re more strict. We were at Q on the bliss and the waiter said we could order whatever we wanted and he would put it through vs platinum voucher they were more strict at La Cucina. to be honest I think it depends on the ship/wait staff. It’s down to them if they enforce it or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lepidoptera Posted November 1, 2023 #5 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I would go platinum meal at Los Lobos. I found the portions were huge when I went on the Encore, so only being able to do app, entree and dessert would be more than enough food. I can’t remember what I had for the app, but I left about half of my Chile Rellenos because I couldn’t eat anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Seas2mountains Posted November 1, 2023 #6 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Do you plan to eat at Teppanyaki or Moderno? If so, I recommend using your platinum vouchers there. While we have not had many issue this past year with being limited on what we can order with vouchers vs. FAS, we tend to use the voucher at the specialty restaurants with a fixed price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this advice. Only question I have is do either offer the free wine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, both will bring out the special wine menu for the free bottle. We usually take the unopened bottle back to our cabin. On our most recent cruise, it was great to enjoy the wine in our hotel room in Tahiti after the cruise ended. If you have a hotel stay after the cruise, it may save you $ to take the bottle with you. When we don’t have an overnight stay, we usually enjoy having a bottle in the cabin for the times we have gone back to the cabin early in the evening.

All specialty restaurants, with the exception of Palomar (which has their own sustainable wines), offer free latitudes wines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sail 5-6 times a year and have never had any problem using both the FAS/Specialty Dining Package and Platinum vouchers to get two "something" (appetizers and/or soup/salad), and entree, two sides, and dessert.

There was SO much food at Los Lobos, it was impossible to eat everything served to me. (That said, I did FAS, and they let me get 3 appetizers, a side, and a dessert, though I skipped the dessert. I wanted the churros, I was just too full.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmafreddie Posted November 4, 2023 #12 Share Posted November 4, 2023 When I ate at Los lobos I used only 1 dining voucher and saved one for another time here or elsewhere it was plenty of food to share. Just tell waiter you r sharing dinner. We had guacamole made at table empanadas and sliced steak donuts for dessert. Came back at end of cruise and used other half of voucher.
