Specialty Dining

[Yankee Doodle]

Can I wait until we are onboard the Eclipse to purchase the 3-night dining package? We were hoping to apply this dining cost to our OBC.

 

Thanks,

Dandy :D

 

On board, it seems that the package offerings are a little different than the pre-purchase 3, 4, or 5 packages. Our last cruise did not offer the packages on board, but the discounts we were able to obtain were probalbly a bit better, and we got to choose the restaurants.

 

I do know that there are different experiences, and my guess is that it depends on how mamy pre-booked slots have been filled.

 

YMMV

Thanks for your quick reply. What onboard discounts did they offer?

I've heard that when booking special restaurants onboard, the costs are usually higher. Maybe not.....?

As mentioned on the other thread, we have never paid full price.

 

Discounts are usually 20% if they need to increase reservations. If they are really slow, you may be able to negotiate. You also may not get the prime times; we do not mind eating late. I should also mention that there are not always discounts; we just will not pay full price. Like men's clothes, 25% off is regular price, and 50% off is when I start looking :D

Also, they do not usually offer, you need to ask. If it is really slow, then they will offer.

Tuscan Grille and Murano are both excellent. Qsine is a great and a different dining experience but if you go on your own you won't get the full effect. You really need a crowd so you can experience enough of the choices.

What is the regular price for these specialty restaurants?

$40..............I think

Murano is $50 per person. I believe Quise is the same. We ate at Tuscan last month and it was $45.

That's inflation for you !!!!!! I was guessing.

Thanks Paul!

Thanks Paul!

 

I know some people think it's a high price to pay but they really are very good and especially if you're on a two week cruise or longer, makes a nice change. If you wait till you're on board and leave it a few days you'll probably get a deal

On our Eclipse Canaries cruise last year we got 2 for 1 in Tuscan Grill, the head waiter in the MDR was touting for trade on a few nights.
