Crazycruiser50 Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Booked a quick get away for the wife and myself at the end of October and the unlimited dining package doesn’t exist. I called RCCL and they claim it’s either sold out or not offered on this cruise. Out of curiosity I checked our Oct 2022 cruise and it’s not available on that sailing either. I booked it for our Dec 21 and Feb 22 cruise a long time ago so those are still showing up on my cruise planner. Did RCCL do away with the unlimited dining package or am I going crazy? Having to pay a lot of $$$ to book these restaurants individually. PS I will do anything to avoid the MDR. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonCruiser Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 It may just be that the option isn't available yet for that cruise. I just popped in to check on my Aug 2022 and I have no extra dining options (or shore excursions) yet. I would say check for it a bit closer - maybe 5 or 6 months out?

Crazycruiser50 Posted September 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Our cruise is in 26 days. The one in Oct 2022 shows all the other restaurants I can book, but not the unlimited? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ampurp85 Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Since capacity has been reduced, they are limiting the amount of UDP on most cruises. I sail Oct 31st, it was sold out the end of Aug and briefly popped up in Sept, it is no longer showing again now. Some people have reported being able to secure it on boarding day as there were a few no-shows/cancellations. So it is being offered but since you booked a close-in sailing, they didn't have any available. emmef 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid almost double to book these individually. (Still worth it in my opinion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeS Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 We leave in 25 days and booked the UDP a few back. Must have sold out, but I would keep checking someone might cancel and open up a spot. Crazycruiser50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably what LeeS said about it being sold out but hopefully you are given the option on board (there was a lot of focus on the dining packages by the staff onboard but not in a rude way).

Christie Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Yea, this is definitely a sold out situation. We sail on October 23. It was available, and then it wasn't. I was heartbroken I didn't purchase it earlier. Then it popped up one day (for $30 more pp) and I went ahead and booked it. Someone must have cancelled their cruise. I haven't seen it since. Keep checking back though, particularly right before the sailing when people might fall off due to COVID exposure/testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandc4e Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 I'm on FOS on 10/31/2021 and we have UDP, so it's definitely still available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
