fstuff1 Posted September 6, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I'm currently aboard the Joy. Platinum dinners changed to the following: Top voucher: Good for Cagney, Le Bistro, and ocean blue Ocean blue is a new choice! Bottom voucher: Used to be La Cuchina and Food republic (because no Moderno on Joy). Note: Food republic is limited to 4 dishes (no change) Now the bottom voucher is good for all other specialty restaurants not listed in the above voucher. That includes Tepanaki! Note: The vouchers still say the same old thing. I found out the changes by talking to CruiseNext 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Travelicious Posted September 6, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I wonder if this is a fleetwide change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowmanvilletravel Posted September 6, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I was just on the Bliss and while they didn’t advertise it, I confirmed at CruiseNext it could be done. I ran into problems at the restaurant trying to do it but they eventually did it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robkat Posted September 6, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 6, 2022 We're just off the Getaway. It was opposite for us ... we asked at the Cruise next desk whether the vouchers could be used at any restaurant, and they told us that they could only be used at the restaurants printed on the vouchers. We were later speaking with the Maitre D at La Cocina, and he told us the vouchers could be used at any of the specialties. It pays to check a few places! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare EllieinNJ Posted September 6, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 6, 2022 We are on the next Joy cruise and learned this quite awhile ago. Was able to make reservations on line for all restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaCal Posted September 6, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Are they still giving $25 or $50 OBC for not having the behind the scenes or other things for platinum and above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted September 6, 2022 #7 Share Posted September 6, 2022 We were on the Breakaway two weeks ago and they said that while it was offered on some itineraries, it was not offered on the Breakaway and we were limited to the printed restaurants. However, the Cruise Next manager hinted that changes may be forthcoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viajera7 Posted September 7, 2022 #9 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Arrived 2 days ago from the Jade. Voucher good for the restaurants printed there. No $50 credit for the 2 activities not offered : tour of ship and dinner with officers. Wines of the World was offered but the Cruise Next person gave me the wrong date and I missed it. Instead of having a sign with the date like the latitude party. He told me to write it down on a paper. I asked him to confirm that I had written the correct date and he confirmed but it was the following day and he could have said tomorrow. No admission of a mistake and no compensation. I am not impressed in general with the Jade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note: The vouchers still say the same old thing. I found out the changes by talking to CruiseNext It was the same offer when we were on the Escape last month. One note about Food Republic though - the restaurant hostess there said that most dishes are large enough to share, and that it would be enough for us to use only 1 voucher there as each voucher includes 4 dishes, and then share the four different dishes. And then use the voucher for the second person on a different day - again sharing. We tried that, and the four dishes were enough for the two of us as dinner. So very happy with the hostess suggesting for us to do that.... Edited September 7, 2022 by TrumpyNor 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So very happy with the hostess suggesting for us to do that.... This is exactly what we do. But, we split a SDP credit across two sea day lunches at Food Republic. We love the food there and it is a lot better than the buffet or MDR for a sea day lunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lotadots Posted September 8, 2022 #15 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Quick Question, hoping someone can answer. I purchased the 2 Specialty Dining Package. We have a 3rd person traveling with us and was thinking that he could use the Specialty Dining. Since they are in my name this is not possible for the 3rd person to use. I tried to transfer the package but that was not possible since the cost was a discounted rate for the original passengers. I was wondering if I could use the Specialty dining package for in room dining. Thank you in advance for your feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C cruisers Posted November 12, 2022 #16 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I may have missed it but is the JOY offering dinner with officers for Platinum Plus members? I was on the Getaway in March and it was offered but it was not offered on the July sailing of the Pearl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
