rydan Posted March 16, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 16, 2015 We will be sailing in a few months and we chose the UDP as our free amenity. However, it clearly states my kids will also receive the package, but is listed as child UPD on the invoice. Anyone have experience with this plan with kids? Not sure if they have a special menu for kids, that is not just the same selections as the free restaurants. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare conandrob240 Posted March 16, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 16, 2015 There is a kids menu specific to each restaurant with that type of cuisine options that they can order from or, if they want it, they can order off the main dining room kids menu as well.

Guindalf Posted March 16, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 16, 2015 There is a free kids' menu available and also they can order from the regular menu, which is normally half-price for 'paying guests'. They can order from the regular menu for no additional charge with the UDP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you choose the UDP as part of the package EVERYONE in the room gets it. This applies to children as well even though there is no kids UDP. They can eat of the specialty menu at no extra cost. There is also a kids menu if the specialty menu does no appeal to them. 6&8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeyetlse Posted March 16, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 16, 2015 However, it clearly states my kids will also receive the package, but is listed as child UPD on the invoice.Is this your TA's invoice or something from NCL? Ask your TA to ask NCL for the Amenity Invoice for your booking. I would be surprised to see "Child UDP" on that document, since NCL does not offer a child UDP, as sixesandeights said, and the terms of the wave promo do not make any distinction between children and adults if you choose the dining package perk. Your kids will have the regular UDP (but they can order from the children's menus in the specialty restaurants if they prefer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detroitlions Posted March 16, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Since kids are half off of the adult price for the special dining and free if they order off the kids menu maybe this is why they say that. Kids can eat everyday in a special for less than the package costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyto2kids Posted March 16, 2015 #8 Share Posted March 16, 2015 We were just on the getaway. There was no speciality kids menu, we went to all the restaurants except ocean blue It was adults menu or reg kids menu With UDP they can order from either. My kids sometimes did a combo - appetizer from specialty, entree from kids menu and specialty dessert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD loves the pizza from the kids menu so she probably order pizza anywhere we go. But since she has UDP she can try out other things from the specialty menu as well.

Solararc Posted March 16, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 16, 2015 There is a listed item on my amenities invoice from NCL directly that has CHILDDIN (child's dinning package) and mine is listed as Adult *Living large one week at a time* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprise! ;) On our Amenity Invoice for a cruise that was booked in December during Freestyle Choice, each of the kids has item number DINCHL with description Child's Dining Plan. It makes sense that they needed to create a child's amenity for this promotion, in order to facilitate waiving the usual 1/2 cover charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense that they needed to create a child's amenity for this promotion, in order to facilitate waiving the usual 1/2 cover charge.If it has a distinct amenity identifier, it could have a different content from the adult UDP perk. But I still think it would be wrong of NCL to put restrictions on the child's plan that are not explicitly laid out in the promotion's T&C. So I would be surprised if they were doing that. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawaiideb Posted March 16, 2015 #13 Share Posted March 16, 2015 We have watched quite a few children eat in Specialty restaurants, and combine menus. I smile every time I watch a child order the cheesecake at Cagney's (huge) and the mac n cheese! It is very popular! One night, this sweet boy at a table next to us ordered double mac-n-cheese and a shrimp cocktail I think. Looked like a good meal to me! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your kids will have the regular UDP (but they can order from the children's menus in the specialty restaurants if they prefer). We just booked and our invoice says the same thing for our son who will be 9 at the time of sailing. Our 13 and 15 yr old had the Adult UDP where our 9yr old says Child UDP. But they way it was explained by our cruise consultant was that it has no restrictions as far as what he can eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
