Garyjames220 Posted November 14, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Just trying to decide what to pick between for our 8 night anthem of the seas cruise in may 2020 - £188 pounds for 3 night dinning package & 1 lunch at Jamie's or - £304 pounds for the unlimited dinning we arent that keen on sushi and my wife could be pregnant come then so that would rule that out the sushi restaurant and not to fussed on wonderland as we have done it before and the experience is great but not that keen on the food we do love Jamie's and chops grill though we might do johnny rockets once but even if we paid out of pocket for that it would still be about a 100 saving if we do the first option anyway what do you think we should do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulsacoker Posted November 14, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 14, 2019 any time I did dinning packages i always went for the ultimate / unlimited. Some have reported Johnny Rockets is now included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulsacoker Posted November 14, 2019 #7 Share Posted November 14, 2019 up, four of us had UDP and went to JR for lunch. Each charged 11.78. Didn't complain or asked because we didn't know. Now it was on a port day ... maybe that makes a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UDP is valid for lunch on sea days only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's a hard one because one of the resturants we wouldn't go to, then wonderland not to fussed on. So I think that would only leave chops, Jamie's, and jr, can't decide if a three night one plus the lunch and Jamie's is enough 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulsacoker Posted November 14, 2019 #13 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Go UDP, then you can visit ones you like the most multiple times. Each restaurant has so many dishes to try that you truly cant in just one visit. (I know you could) but realistically not enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FPP777 Posted November 14, 2019 #15 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I just booked UDP. My plan is to make reservations the first few nights, then decide what I want to go back to on the last few nights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balsam12 Posted November 15, 2019 #20 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I realise it's a personal preference, but what's wrong with the MDR? We have an 11 night coming up, and have booked the three night package plus one night at Chops for my partner's birthday, and the Mystery theatre dinner. That's 5 nights in specialty dining, leaving six nights for either MDR or windjammer (probably MDR for us). I don't think MDR is so bad that we'd pay for the UDP. We definitely like to try the specialty dinning, hence the choices we've made above. We also don't do Izumi, so on Radiance, we have Chops, Giovanni's and Samba for our three night package. I suppose on larger ships there are more options, but our OP hasn't mentioned the five night package as an option... is it not available for your sailing? We don't normally do a big lunch either, so that wouldn't factor in it for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said if the prices drop on Black Friday to what I would have paid for the old 5 night package then I will buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have a choice of two restaurants and am not fussed ether way on wonderland so do I really need the unlimited dinning plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted November 15, 2019 #25 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I would do unlimited , Izumi on oasis had hibachi which had steak and chicken as options fun experience, if they do not have that they should have hot rocks which you can get steak.
