Using choice dinning credit (CHOSPD) for wine ?

[ilsh75]

I read a comment that one can use choice dinning credit to buy wine in specialty restaurant. Did anyone actually did it. Do I just walking and ask for a bottle of wine? I was planning to buy a 3 day SDP once aboard but we decided that we only want to do Le bistro as usual. So I will have some money left. Will restaurant sell unopened bottle of wine? Please share how you used your CHOSPD credit

I don't know the definitive answer but knowing how NCL reads its own rules I cannot see it. SDP means Specialty Dining Package; if you want wine you would need the UBP; the Ultimate Beverage Package.

 

You might be lucky if you get someone who will bend the rules but don't be too disappointed if you are turned down.

I don't have sdp I have dinning credit . Suppose to work for specialty dinning. When I got it it was suppose to cover 2 meals now with a la carte it will be for one with some money left. Just looking for a way to spend it without spending more and going go another specialty place .

Haven't heard anything like this, switching of promos is rarely, if ever, allowed and basically that's what this would entail. I wonder if this "offer" is being confused with the Platinum Latitudes Benefit where you receive 2 dinners at Le Bistro along with a bottle of wine. :confused:

The specialty dining credit can theoretically be applied to your entire specialty dining bill (food & drinks), or so I have read. In other words, it can used to buy anything the restaurant sells, including wine. But who knows, they may have a rule where you have to order some food at least, and not just a "liquid meal"…

 

It would be interesting to know the answer. But to be on the safe side, I would order the extra bottle of wine when you have your actual meal at Le Bistro. (Tell them you want to take it with you, unopened.)
