Dining question

[jkneern]

on our next cruise we chose the UBP as our promo. We decided we wanted to change to UDP so I called to make the change and was surprised that reservations can not be made for the specialty restaurants until you board the ship if you have the promo package. I decided to keep the UBP and just purchased a 5 nt specialty dining package. By doing this I was able to book all reservations ahead of time. Last cruise we purchased the UDP when we boarded and had a hard time getting the restaurants we wanted and only could get late dining times after 9p. Is this correct, I really wanted to switch my package but don't want to chance getting stuck with late dining times again. Should I call back?

As far as I know, you can book the specialty dining online.

We've had UDP on several cruises and have always booked reservations online prior to sailing. That being said, there have been a lot of changes since our last cruise in January so maybe this is one of them.

I chose the dining promo and was able to make my reservations online. And our cruise is not till Thanksgiving.

On all our cruises with the promotional UDP, we have been able to make dining reservations ahead of time on-line. I think you were given incorrect information about this, unless they have changed something with the UDP very recently.

 

That said, you have already bought the 5-meal SDP and made your reservations, so it might be simplest to leave things as they are at this point. The 5-meal package only costs $89, whereas 5 days of the UBP is worth $270.

Started making reservations two weeks ago and as of this morning am still able to book dining online. We have the UDP and it appears someone is giving you bad info.

Seems like you have been misinformed. We are on the Escape for Thanksgiving and also have the UDP. When the 90 day window opened up I was able to make all our dining and show reservations on line. With the new system it was a breeze, all done in 10 minutes.
