dbrown84 Posted May 26 #1 Share Posted May 26 About to go on my first MSC cruise, and I'm looking into dining at butchers cut and teppanyaki. From menus I've found online, the dining experience menu at butchers cut is $39 and $44 at teppanyaki. That's $83 total. The price of the 2 meal dining package is $95. I'm obviously missing something..... Why would I purchase the package? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jame_g Posted May 27 #2 Share Posted May 27 Pretty sure those are old prices. I think Butchers Cut and the ocean Cay restaurants are $59 each for the dining experience. Guessing Teppanyaki is too, or maybe a few bucks more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcoler181 Posted May 27 #4 Share Posted May 27 I think purchasing on board you will also incur the 18% service charge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hapytobehr Posted May 30 #7 Share Posted May 30 When you purchase the "package deal" the menu is limited. You don't get to choose from the full menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Dave Posted May 31 #10 Share Posted May 31 (edited) Just a note: If you are Diamond, or have one of the packages, you can get anything on the menu outside of the "Dining Experience" items for 50% off the regular price. I always go to Butcher's Cut for my Diamond meal and get the 20-ounce Ribeye meal that I love for 50% off the regular price.

The real pro tip is to do that, but first replace your dinky starter with a Shellfish Platter. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems very simple. I was (and still am) clueless as to why you're posting it in response to me as I never said anything contrary to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpeter Posted June 3 #15 Share Posted June 3 If I buy, say, the 5 meal dining experience package, does that mean I have to eat once in every specialty restaurant? For instance, I don’t like Ocean Cay, and would rather eat teppanyaki twice. Can I do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
