The title to this post should give a hint of what to expect and why I figured this section is a better venue. Ultimately, it is my unlimited attempt at running a dedicated LIVEish about the UDP. The goal really being a running dialogue on how Unlimited the Unlimited Dining Package really is. I'm also open to asking and answering any questions. Just keep in mind this is a snippet on the grand scheme of things, one week on one ship. So keep in mind, past performance is no guarantee of future results. Haven't really developed a dinner plan yet, staying in a Junior Suite so I'm part of #teamCK traditionally the first and last night. Lunch when boarding will be a strong chance at Playmakers. Seeing it was explicitly stated in an email when the package name changed. With three sea days I'll have plenty of traditional lunch location chances. I'll also be invading the Live(ish) @Skid is running:

Nope Thanks for the invasion approval

Debating if I should hijack this one or start my own...

If the OBC would be a result of the drink package being refunded it would be classified as refundable OBC. Refundable OBC on the last day of the sailing can be cashed out at Guest Services. In the event a credit card is used to cover onboard spending the OBC would be refunded to the card. Part I'm not sure of is how the refund to card method would be how a refund of USD to AUD would be processed. Going the cash method it would be given in USD and if desired converted to AUD based on the exchange rate the ship uses.

Cups are provided with the purchase of any drink package (Soda, Refreshment, or Deluxe).

If you are comfortable with that price, book it. If it goes down you can always cancel and repurchase at the new price. Just keep in mind when cancelling it may take a few days before your card is credited back.

Only menu I found was on the Royal Caribbean Dining Facebook group. Sure once @Matt steps foot on CocoCay this weekend we'll have confirmation.

Think the discontinuity of the "Cruise to Nowhere" in the US has more to do with work visa requirements. In order for the particular visa used by workers to be valid it was determined that a ship had to visit a foreign port, not just reach international waters.

Of the perks you mentioned the only one that can be shared to an extent is inviting them to dinner at Coastal Kitchen. Availability to bring guests is up to the host in Coastal Kitchen.

Think that is the new requirement when booking Suites with CR. Sure @WAAAYTOOO can confirm.

Might be the final farewell from me... until Saturday for Symphony... Overall impression, seemed different than the 7 day sailings from Port Everglades. As always it is a blast when sailing with a group with a common denominator, #teamdx really shines. Be it Royal Caribbean Blog group members or #rcperiscopers. Fitting in all an Oasis class ship has to offer in 3 days is possible. However it is highly not suggested. On the same note it would be great if the Oasis class ships would occasionally offer a 3/4 day offering. I'm sure they could sell these condensed sailings at a premium. Add on I'm sure many might take the opportunity to append or prepend a 7 day sailing to the shorter segment. Overall these three days were a blur, I'm sure Mr. Patron has something to say about that... Thanks again for following along! Any questions just ask and I'm sure I can come up with something that sounds true.

Swear it was just Thursday ?

Also had this funny looking cake in WJ

Sign your cruise is coming to an end...

Fastest visit ever to a port... Think we spent maybe 5 minutes next to the dock at CocoCay. Tease indeed...

If I heard things right on the Morning Show we'll be making another tease test docking at CocoCay.

Also a gentle reminder... many fine quality posts go unnoticed on the Insiders Facebook group. Just simply join the Insiders at the Emerald level at https://www.patreon.com/RoyalCaribbeanBlog

Minor correction: It is Latisha... still great personality and always a pleasure.

Not too bad, 14 minute wait for this...

Timer started... As I mentioned at the beginning of this thread, hope you didn't expect anything great...

Some of the aftermath of Unofficial RCB sailings... Aftermath... BTW... WTF is Alice...

Pizza anyone? Just get in line...

Custom creations! Mudslide Lavaflow style. With the master creator in the background.

Currently waiting for Columbus to start... Have to say it isn't packed... No longer waiting...

@Matt had put it best on one sailing, "It is a marathon, not a sprint." Such great words of wisdom I had forgotten. Do have to admit I'm feeling much better after my 4 hour power nap on the couch.
