twangster Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Yeah, saw these in prior years. More money but includes bubbly. UDP often isn't offered on these sailings to avoid UDP guests from securing these more costly "holiday" dinners. cruisellama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be surprised if you are able to use it for the special days on the cruise. Historically UDP was blocked on days like Xmas Eve, Xmas day and Thanksgiving Day. Once on board I suspect you'll hear... "Sorry, fully booked on that day". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping that will be disclosed to me by our suite's concierge when I ask them to make rezis for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FManke Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 For those of you who have been on holiday cruises, are the holiday dinners really that much more special? A lot of "special" holiday menus, are regular menu items tweaked with a special garnish and not really worth the extra money.

IMO the holiday dinner in the MDR is a nice change and festive enough for my needs but if someone wants to make a holiday dinner just that much more special then specialty holiday dining accomplishes that. cruisellama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is it worth $25 MORE than the $55 extra you already pay vs. the included MDR price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory it could be... Just depends on how much Moët and Chandon you get. A single glass can run between $22-$29 depending on variety ($12-$13 discount a glass with deluxe beverage package). Full bottle runs $85-$115, think unlimited dining package and deluxe beverage package offer a 40% discount on bottles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
