Can I go to two restaurants with UDP?!

[mintsugarcube]

Just curious to know.. I have a picky eater daughter. Let's say I try one specialty restaurant and she/we don't like it for whatever reason, could do we go to another one the same night? Or are you "limited" to one specialty restaurant per night?

 

Or say I find a specialty restaurant that has an awesome dessert and we go to a different specialty restaurant and I say "Darn, I wish I could have the dessert from the first specialty restaurant. I wonder if we can go back to it for dessert after we finish up at this one"...well, could we?!!

 

Thanks

Yes, we have done this with UDP. But it depends on availability.

Wonderful!

Wow, that's a huge selling point for that package.

strange they would allow you to dine at multiple restaurants = NO EXTRA CHARGE

 

but ask for a second entree at the the first restaurant = EXTRA CHARGE

 

this does not make much sense to me:confused:

If you can do this, Warm-Water, just consider it a loophole. I would venture the interpretation is similar to 'one entrée per guest, per visit'. In which case, you could have a meal and leave. If a table was available, then you could probably be reseated and eat a second round of dinner at no additional charge.

 

Rather than going to a different restaurant for dessert, it would be worth asking your waiter to bring dessert from the other restaurant to where you are eating. I don't know if they will do it, but it would be worth a try.

 

All of the above is speculation, I've never tried it.

Don't do two spec rooms a day very often though---or the old joke about 'getting on as passengers and getting off as cargo' will be literal instead of figurative ;)

On the Gem last week I had the UDP. Twice I did my own version of Surf and Turf by getting the lobster at Orchid Garden at 5:30, seeing the show, then getting a Filet Mignon at Cagney's at 9pm. No charges, no problems! Now that Orchid Garden is free you might be better off using Le Bistro for your lobster. :)

 

I never did ask if the $10 upcharge for an extra entree was also included in the UDP. Does anyone else know?

Hmm, you're right!

Good thinking..thanks!

The $10 upcharge entrees are included in UDP. There is a $10 charge for extra entrees at Le Bistro and Cagney's. I can't tell which you are asking about, so I hope that covers it.

 

 

(BEWARE: There is a poster running around here who is going to swoop in and say, "But wait! That could change!" because, yeah, everything in life has a possibility of changing, but that info is currently accurate.)

That's too bad! Seems like a silly thing to say no to.

We were on the Getaway March 28th-April 4th with the UDP. One night we did appetizers at La Cucina and dinner at Le Bistro. We were early (6) to La Cucina and sat outside since we did not have reservations, and then went to our reservations at Le Bistro at 9. The host did say something about us having reservations, but we had no problems. We also ate at Le Bistro three time. After the first night, we realized the lobster was much to big for one person so each night, we ordered an entree and shared the lobster (that is supposed to be $10 upcharge). We were never charged for anything.

I had to call NCL to cancel a Moderna reservation in order to book a time conflicting Cirque reservation under UDP. At the same time, I asked whether we could book multiple reservations for the same night under the UDP. NCL advised that you could do so as long as you showed up and ate. If you failed to show they would make you pay the extra charge. You have to cancel at least 1 day before to avoid the charge.
