JoeFan Posted June 14, 2019 #126 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Is this all a marketing technique to get people to buy the unlimited dining plan? $29.99 /night including lunch on sea days sounds better than $49.99. With Izumi going prix-fixe there is no more ala carte options on HOS. So you would assume the prix-fixe would be covered under UDP and the same terms? Multiple entrees?

Are you sure there is no ala carte options? If you make reservations onboard or get the unlimited dining package it is set up for the ala carte pricing.

I would pay $75 a person for all you can eat crab legs, crab cakes, etc. I wish they would do this. Like tables with butcher paper tablecloths. where you show up in jeans and they put a pitcher of beer in the middle and pour crabs across the table and you just eat all night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRF Posted June 15, 2019 #134 Share Posted June 15, 2019 On Grandeur in April, it was ala carte. If you did a package, you get a credit of $35 per person towards what you ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonsai3s Posted June 17, 2019 #136 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Good sushi requires fresh fish. Fish on ships are not fresh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the first half of this is completely incorrect -- safe (good) sushi actually requires the fish to have been frozen to a certain temperature to ensure all of the parasites have died: freezing fish at temperatures of -4 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees Celsius) for seven days, or frozen at -31 degrees Fahrenheit (-35 degrees Celsius) for 15 hours, which kills any parasites Furthermore, it's worth noting that almost ALL of the sushi rolls served at Izumi (not including the sashimi/nigiri which is a different type of sushi) are cooked in one form or another -- from rolls with tempura shrimp, to unagi (eel that's been grilled) to smoked salmon (smoking it is a form of cooking). It's all been cooked! Lobster roll, the steak roll, the spider roll (soft-shell crab) -- all cooked!! We were on Radiance in April/May and we were able to dine on the a la carte whenever it was open. And I can confirm, the sushi at Izumi is delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkbiiii Posted June 17, 2019 #138 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Or you can pay a couple hundred extra a night, sail on Crystal where the sushi is by Nobu; Nobuyuki "Nobu" Matsuhisa, the same who has a hotel at Caesars Palace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you make reservations onboard or get the unlimited dining package it is set up for the ala carte pricing. My wife and I were on the Navigator last week (6/10-14) and we had the unlimited dining package. Izumi still had the a la carte menu and the package covered up to $70 for the two of us. We were disappointed that two items which I have always liked were removed from the menu: the all-Nigiri Sushi combination and the Japanese pancake. The deluxe Sushi combination was still there (with the spice tuna roll which we do not care for) and the only desserts that were on the menu were the mochi ice cream and the sesami balls.

Choices are limited to current menu offerings in the specific menu category listed. No substitutions allowed. No discount or refund will be given for unused courses. All other menu items may be purchased for an additional change. That wouldn't be $50 per person in a great Sushi restaurant near me. Agreed! We usually get 1 roll each, and egg drop or miso soup....not a good deal at all for $50 each! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
