rolfeman02 Posted May 9 #1 Share Posted May 9 I swear this wasn't part of the description when I purchased the UDP 3 months ago. But the UDP now says Wonderland has a 24.99 surcharge in the UDP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender1158 Posted May 9 #2 Share Posted May 9 I just checked, and this is now showing on my UDP starting a week from today. It was not there when I purchased it over a year ago. The actual text of the change says "Wonderland by DaDong". Is this the usual Wonderland restaurant or something particular to Asian venues?

Wonderland by DaDong is only found on Spectrum of the Seas (sailing in Asia) so it is indeed a separate experience....hoping they're not trying to upcharge for regular Wonderland now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise a holic Posted May 9 #4 Share Posted May 9 We had an upcharge in the Hibachi on the Icon- It was a total surprise as we never had an upcharge before at the Hibachi. Unfortunately I had grilled seafood which made me sick! I wouldn't recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izumi sushi side no upcharge but yes to hibachi. I had trouble getting wonderland last time on harmony as a bogo and it's not listed as excluded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bajathree Posted May 9 #11 Share Posted May 9 On a side note...Utopia did away with Wonderland all together and replaced its location on 11/12 with Giovanni's....think that may be telling for the future of Wonderland. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the Pesky Parrot bar is replacing the Bionic Bar on Utopia and I wouldn’t be surprised to see the same when Allure is finally Amped next spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that Wonderland isn't for everyone- we didn't go after reviewing the menu- on celebrity E class, Eden is wonderful in contrast and has many options for all. The bionic bar also is a wasted gimmick. Made me a horrible drink in a paper cup. The first time you see it funny- but it wears off quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weluv2cruise2gether Posted May 11 #16 Share Posted May 11 We had unlimited dining package in March in the Odyssey. We did not have an up charge in Wonderland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajtaylor29 Posted May 13 #18 Share Posted May 13 Hmmm, i guess i need to do some research and figure out what's going on with these upcharges? At some point, if all the specialty restaurants have upcharges....then what's the point of an "unlimited" dining package?!? We don't always get UDP, but if on an older ship that doesn't have Coastal Kitchen we usually do.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anything has changed, i must have read wrong.... I understand that there has always been an upcharge to dine at Teppenyaki (hibachi) grille. We've paid it before and i don't have a problem with that - it's an entertaining meal/event that we enjoy when we go but we don't go every cruise! The other specialty restaurants are still all included. I do understand that with both Izumi sushi and Playmakers there is a food credit allowed per day. We've eaten at both venues multiple times and i don't think we've ever exceeded the daily amount! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mum2Mercury Posted May 13 #21 Share Posted May 13 I'm with those who wouldn't mind seeing Wonderland go. The food looks ... weird and unappealing. Of course, we don't usually hit the Specialty Restaurants, so we're not the target audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
