petuniaflower Posted October 17, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Is there a specialty dining pkg and if so, how much is it? I have only read of a test package for $60 for 3 meals, is this still available? If so, what else is for fee in the specialty locations, grats/drinks? Asking specifically about the Horizon. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted October 17, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Yes, it is available, only on horizon. Request it in John healds Facebook page. Includes the steakhouse, la cucina, and I think the hibachi. You still need to make your reservations on your own. Vouchers are charged to your account and will be in your state room.

It now includes Hibachi? I thought it was the steakhouse, and two $15 vouchers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted October 17, 2019 #4 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I could be wrong. I was doing it off the top of my head. But I think you are right, 1 steakhouse and 2 $15 vouchers. Again, reservations still need to be made. The vouchers just act as payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, because the steakhouse and hibachi would automatically cover the $60 expense (+$10). Does anyone know if you can substitute the steakhouse for the hibachi and get the $5 back or applied to the $15 voucher?

petuniaflower Posted October 17, 2019 Author #6 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Sorry Im a bit confused, it automatically covers steak house and only $ towards others, so its a monetary value, not 3 places of your choice? Just trying to budget how much total this will cost for a ll 7 of us and if its worth it. And what is meant by (+2)? Also, what is meant by request it in fb page, can it not be purchased online on Carnival account? Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can eat at the steakhouse for one night, and you will also get two $15 vouchers to use at JiJi's, Cucina, Guy's Pig and Anchor Brewhouse or Bonsai Sushi. 10 minutes ago, petuniaflower said: And what is meant by (+2)? I meant to say (+$10), and was referring to the value of the if we combined the Steakhouse and hibachi itself. $38 + $32 = $70. 14 minutes ago, petuniaflower said: Also, what is meant by request it in fb page, can it not be purchased online on Carnival account? Right now it is only available if you message JH on FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petuniaflower Posted October 17, 2019 Author #8 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Are the rest of the specialty all $15 aside from steakhouse, and thats why it doesnt matter what others you choose? What Im getting at is if I purchase the "voucher" for $60, will I still have to pay anything out of pocket or will that cover 1 entire steak house dinner plus a choice of 2 others completely? Sorry, the whole $15 credit thing is throwing me of.. And regarding fb msg, ok thanks, this is new to me, would it just be a pm requesting to purchase and then they would show on my account to be paid for? Thank you:))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchell Posted October 17, 2019 #9 Share Posted October 17, 2019 You can view the full menu and get the pricing for each of the specialty restaurants on Carnival's website. You just have to pull up the page for each restaurant and a link to the menu and the cost of the restaurant is under "The Details". Unfortunately, I don't know anything about the dining package. If you go to John Heald's page and post your question he should be able to get you the info you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that is not entirely correct. Cucina and JiJi's are $15pp, Guy's Pig and Anchor and Bonsai Sushi is à la carte, and Bonsai Teppanyaki is $32pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a la carte sometimes and $15 flat sometimes? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petuniaflower Posted October 18, 2019 Author #12 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Sorry 2 more questions about specialty dining.. -if you are not on a drink plan are drinks included or just water, lemonade, tea and coffee? -for the kids price, do they have to order off of a kids menu and is it specific to that location or is it same as MDR?

Rare 1025cruise Posted October 18, 2019 #13 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Drinks are not included. I believe the kids menu is specific to each restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trummy Posted October 18, 2019 #14 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Besides the steak house, this is all new to me. Is Carnival now pushing pay extra dining on some of it's ships? One of the reasons I cruise Carnival is the inclusiveness. How long before this goes fleetwide? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trummy Posted October 18, 2019 #18 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I get there are enough free options. But won't these additional pay restaurants take up space that is being used for other things? I like the Blue Iguana, Guy's Burgers, etc etc. But they did take up much needed deck space. These pay options may be fine for the larger newer ships. But ie. on the Conquest ships, added restaurants take away from something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the specialty restaurants are great for those who want to pay extra for arguably better food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have simply replaced “restaurants” that were previously in the same locations like Off the Grill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blue Iguana and the Red Frog were part of the Carnival 2.0 project that began in 2015. The first time I was on the Glory was 2011. The spaces where these 2 bars are was deck space.

What do bars have to do with a thread about restaurants? Just an FYI, the 2.0 upgrades started in 2011 on Liberty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
