Karahmmk Posted July 11, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Yes, according to their website hibachi does have the added surcharge when using a package to book it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted July 11, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 11, 2023 It used to be ten but they raised it to 15 . I think it is still worth the extra money we will do it at least once on our next cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandj1224 Posted July 11, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I'm questioning if the charge will be $15 or $17.70 with an added gratuity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have bought the UDP on Freedom and Harmony in the last month. On both cruises we were only charged $15 per person at Izumi with no additional gratuity, although the receipt you sign does have a line where you can add an additional gratuity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molly361 Posted July 12, 2023 #8 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) Are people really concerned about an extra $2.70? I guess so😇 Edited July 12, 2023 by molly361 4 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitoryubt Posted July 12, 2023 #11 Share Posted July 12, 2023 We got charged the extra $2.70 on Independence, weekend of June 23. We were a party of three. I don't think it's so much the amount, just the fact that they charged it. We already bought the Ultimate dining package. We knew and accepted the upcharge, but yet they had to charge another $2.70. I'm a Royal fan and don't cruise any other lines, but I do get tired of the nickel and dime routine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise_co Posted July 12, 2023 #13 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I just happened to have our final guest statement out (cleaning desk) from Harmony on April 29th so I looked. I didn't pay attention when we ate there. As said above, I didn't really care about the $2.70. For 3 people, we were charged $53.10 in addition to the UDP, so that would be the $17.70. We added a tip on top of that since the staff was outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked at my statements from cruises I did this year with UDP (Freedom twice, Harmony twice, Wonder, Mariner and Independence). I was only charged $15 at Izumi on all 7 cruises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
