Thank you!!! You just helped me decide not to purchase the UDP for this cruise.

Appreciate it. Just to give you data points, when I log into my cruise planner on the website (not app), I am offered the following individual lunch offerings for purchase: Izumi - Day 2 Chops - Day 1 & Day 2 Jamie's - Day 1 & Day 2 Hooked - Day 1 & Day 2 I'm wondering maybe they will have these offerings at some point for future cruises including mine, but as of now, at least in the RC app, the meal times listed match the current and past Cruise Compass times.

Yes thank you for the Day 1 compass. I compared to the info for the current sailing which bonsai3s is on and it's identical. But bonsai3s' statement saying that hooked was open on embarkation is making me pull out the little hair that I have left.

I literally want to pull my hair out. Lol Your comment literally contradicts rockmoms posting of the cruise compass from a few weeks back. Royal really needs to make their info consistent. I was suggested on another forum to log into the Royal app and select the current sailing (the one you are on) and look at the dining info. Currently it states that Day 1 (yesterday for you) only Jamie's was open for lunch), Day 2 (today for you) Jamie's and Hooked is open for lunch, on Day 3 (tomorrow for you) no specialty restaurant is open for lunch. Can you do me a favor? Can you find out what specialty options are actually open for lunch today? Is it indeed just Hooked and Jamie's? Or is Izumi and Chopped open for lunch as well. If you don't have the time, no worries. Thank you for the data point on Hooked being open yesterday.

This is very helpful. Thank you so much

Yes I'm doing the 3 day to Ensenada. I figured no specialty dining would be open on Day 3 (port day). If you can remember if lunch was available at Chops or Izumi on Day 2, that would be very helpful. That would help me determine how bad RC lists their specialty lunch offerings on their webpage.

Hello rockmom Hope you had an excellent cruise in May. I'll be on Navigator Thanksgiving week and wanted to pick your brain. Was Jamie's the only specialty restaurant available for lunch on embarkation day? Did you happen to inquire specialty restaurants open for lunch on other days? Right now I only see Jamie's and Hooked for day 2 of my cruise, and no specialty restaurants available on day 3. The times and menu on the app are misleading, and on the website, the fact that they sell lunch packages for Chopped and Izumi is confusing as well.

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.

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?
