Rare shof515 Posted August 6, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 6, 2018 because i only book inside cabins, i can only pick 1. i always pick the dinning package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastpitchdad Posted August 6, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Dining and Drinks. I can expense wifi and the $50 excursion credit doesn't seem like that much of a discount since it is only per cabin and can't be combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plus1cruiser Posted August 6, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 6, 2018 UBP & specialty dining. But we like to be unplugged on vacation and like to book our own excursions through local companies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
criisingisthebest Posted August 6, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 6, 2018 UBP and Specialty Dining Part of why I love cruises is because my husband has to unplug from his office! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kochleffel Posted August 6, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Dining and internet. For the amount I would likely drink, the beverage plan is a break-even -- that is, the gratuity on it is about the amount of my total beverage tab without it -- and I don't want an incentive to drink more.

ColinIllinois Posted August 6, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 6, 2018 It's kind of irrelevant for what others will do. Read the terms and conditions of the promos to see the charges on the "free" packages. Then easily figure out what is the best for YOUR situation.

Mike D. Posted August 6, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Dining (always!) Generally book an inside so 1 is the usual freebie. Have taken free daily service charge and an internet package when they were offered in addition to dining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casofilia Posted August 6, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 6, 2018 $50 excursion credit doesn't seem like that much of a discount since it is only per cabin and can't be combined. If you also get another $50 Shore Excursion credit with the Distinction Cruise Perks they can be combined to give you $100 per cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted August 6, 2018 #10 Share Posted August 6, 2018 UBP and 3 Specialty Dining I don't need to stay connected with wifi and many times we don't get off the ship so port credit is a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casofilia Posted August 6, 2018 #11 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Remember that the "dining" and "beverage" packages are NOT free you have to pay the 20% "Tax" on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesea777 Posted August 6, 2018 #13 Share Posted August 6, 2018 UBP, definitely! WiFi/Internet, never, but we receive some free minutes as part of our Platinum Plus perks, I use them on the last day to check-in for our flights and get boarding passes if we are flying on disembarkation day. UDP - usually, unless …. it's a long cruise with lots of ports outside Caribbean/Europe, then we select the $50 excursion credits over the UDP, like our upcoming November cruise as we have booked NCL excursions in most ports. The credits in turn can pay for the SDPs we buy separately :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Definitely the UBP....it’s worth it for us, plus it’s so convenient to have. The other choice depends.... I’m going on a 14 day cruise so I took the 250 internet minutes. I’ll need to connect with home during that time. Plus, how will I change the time on my Fitbit without it???

Rare shof515 Posted August 6, 2018 #16 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Remember that the "dining" and "beverage" packages are NOT free you have to pay the 20% "Tax" on them. yes..for 2 people with the dinning package, it is only an extra 24 dollars or so compare to paying to 79 dollars plus the 20% gratuity . There is a good amount of money of being saved if you get it as a perk vs paying for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indykitten Posted August 6, 2018 #18 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Yeah I am all about UBP. Don't care about Wifi. So that leaves UDP and shore excursion credit. This would depend on the ports, if I thought the $50 per port per excursion was worth it. Personal decision based on ports visited. So far I've only picked UBP and UDP. But I would not rule out the shore excursion credit - it just depends on the particular cruise and ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a different dining plan and was replaced with the SDP. Completely different set of terms and conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
