Ultimate Dining Package Question

[captainannoyed!]

I'm not sure if this has been asked/addressed before, but does anyone know if the Ultimate Dining Package includes the Chef's Table? I suspect that is doesn't based upon the price point of the two. However, I didn't see anyplace on the RCL web site that specifically separates Chef's Table as a cover charge dining option different than say, Chops. So, if CT is considered another optional dining site equal to Chops then logic would dictate that the Ultimate Dining would cover the dinner. But that doesn't make sense given the price point of CT in comparison to Chops or the package.

 

Anyone know about this? Thanks!

The fine print at the bottom of your package (see your cruise planner):

Prices are per person for the full sailing. All selections are subject to change. Royal Caribbean International reserves the right to verify eligibility upon arrival to the activity. Specialty Dining Packages must be booked at least two days prior to boarding and may not be available for every sail date. One reservation will be automatically created for the first night of the sailing. All other reservations must be made onboard and are subject to availability. Packages include service charge and food portion only for dinner and, when available, lunch service. Package valid for one specialty dining restaurant per meal. Beverages not included. For venues with a la carte pricing, package includes a $35 food credit. Additional charges may apply for special food selections. VAT will be added to the price where applicable. Children ages 6-12 can be added to reservation for a $10 cover charge once onboard. Not available on holiday sailings. Not valid for Chef's Table, Izumi Hibachi, or Culinary Experiences/Activities. Guests will receive 20% off when booking Chef's Table and/or any Culinary Experience/Activity onboard. Advertised pricing only applies to select sailing. Lunch in select specialty dining restaurants takes place only on sea days from the hours of 12:00PM to 2:00PM.

Children between the ages of 0-5 are complimentary and ages 6-12 are half the adult price. Please reserve product for all guests who wish to dine. Adult price will be applied for all guests regardless of age; the difference between the adult price and child price will be refunded in the form of a refundable onboard credit (unless booked with non-refundable credit, in which case OBC will be non-refundable).

Thanks! I missed the fine print on that.

Am I the only one who is confused by the kids portion of the fine print? On the top part it says kids 6-12 can be added to the reservation once onboard. Later on it says reserve them to the package and get a refund onboard. So which is it?

We’ve done the Ultimate Dining Package. We just added the kids when we made the reservation for a particular night. Kids (6-12) are just charged $10-12 per meal.

As noted above, CT is not included but on the Enchantment in late June, they called our cabin to ask if we wanted to switch to CT for an extra $10 pp. We were on a three night cruise and the three night package.
