Tammy H. Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Can you use your three restaurant dining package more than once at the same restaurant or do you have to go to a different restaurant each time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use it for the same restaurant or different restaurants as long as they can accommodate you. Tammy H. and CruisingOz 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Ferrari Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 New to RC cruising - if you do not opt for any speciality diing package - can you still book a desired restaurant if dining spaces/timeslots are available? Keen to try Teppanyaki on the Oddessy of the Sea's, although family enjoy the inluded buffet meal choice, hence the reason for not selecting a specilaity dinner package. Any comments welcome from frequent cruisers....Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was sold out almost immediately onboard last time we sailed! And im sure with social distancing it will be even harder to get a reservation.

The 3 day package must be used on day 1 or day 2 but I have heard of people being able to push it back in the past. The "rules" however, say that you must use it on either day 1 or day 2.

Pooch Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 I wonder why? If I’m on a 7 day cruise, why should RC care which days I use for the package? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to guess why the made a package be used the first or second night. It would be a hold back from the times when specialty restaurants were empty the first and second night of the cruise. First night due to everyone wanting to meet their tablemate and waitstaff, and the second night was normally the first formal night.

Supposedly, the specialty restaurants are noticeably underutilized on the first 2 nights of most cruises. This is due (from what I have heard explained) "new" cruisers don't discover specialty dining until day 3 and beyond ! The explanation goes...that they are trying to fill the specialty restaurants on nights 1 and 2. That's what I've hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Wafford Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 If you want to go to the Chef's Table with the 3 night dining package, does the Chef's Table count as 1 of the nights? (Realize that the Chef's table has a $50 upcharge) Just looking for some element of clarification if that counts as one of the three or if it doesn't go against the allotment.

Michael Wafford Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 I have heard a few times that "Chef's Table is not included" in any of the dining packages. However the RC site states: For ships with these venues, Teppanyaki/Izumi Hibachi is included, with a $15 surcharge, and Chef's Table is included, with a $49.99 surcharge. These will be charged once onboard. This leads to the confusion of the question and answer. If the Chef's table is included with a surcharge (included would count against the 3 nights) or if the Chef's table is available at a discounted rate in addition to the 3 nights.

It counts as one of your dining nights. You will pay the surcharge and also use one of your 3 meals. Michael Wafford 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
