Sigyn Posted March 11, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I have a decision to make. If I'm gonna blow $500, should I do it on the Unlimited Dining Plan for our 7-day cruise, or spend it on two passes for the day at the CocoCay Beach Club? Both are roughly $500 for two people. Which do you think would bring more joy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBlackDress Posted March 11, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 11, 2023 The Beach Club is a few hours, the UDP is for the entire cruise... Personally, I would do the UDP 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basenji56 Posted March 11, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Especially on a ship with less than top notch Main Dining Room food, the UDP is the obvious choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare springgrl Posted March 11, 2023 #10 Share Posted March 11, 2023 The UDP! We just cruised on the Allure and never set foot in the Main Dining Room or Windjammer. The cost was also around $500 and, between specialty restaurant dining and the 40% off bottles of wine, we saved around $800! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely go with the UDP then. As for MDR's, with the complete re-do of the MDR menus, and based solely on the 3 cruises we have taken since they changed over to the new scheme (2 on Wonder and one on Serenade), we were underwhelmed with both the equality and variety offered. We opted to do the specialty restaurants or WJ on the nights that the MDR menu was totally unappealing, and there were a few nights where we just ordered room service instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilkySal Posted March 11, 2023 #12 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) Oh yeah, Harmony has a lot of wonderful specialty dining options, so my vote is the UDP for sure! Happy cruising and dining! Cheers! Besides, there are lots of freebies on CocoCay to enjoy without going to the ritzy Beach Club!

George C Posted March 12, 2023 #17 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Even in a suite with free suite dining room we buy the UDP. Already bought UDP for our November harmony cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
