ICON - unlimited dining plan inclusions


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

We’re from the U.K. and set to sail on Icon in early Feb. 
A few questions if anyone can assist.

 

We are sailing with friends in different cabins and have all purchased the unlimited plan, Royal have linked our reservations for dining purposes, but state this is only for main dining. They say it’s impossible to note our request for a common first night courtesy dining reservation together. They say to simply amend this on board when we book the remaining weeks dining reservations. Is that correct?

 

What’s actually included?

So the usual suspects of Chops, Giovannis, Hooked and Izumi are included as always.

I appreciate supper club carries a surcharge similar to the the chefs table.

The $20 per day credit per a la carte venue such as playmakers. Does this also apply to Pier 7 and the top up items at basecamp?, What about Izumi in the Park? RCCL Facebook staff can’t even answer this and have suggested to check once onboard. I think that’s poor from RCCL, to expect a customer to purchase a plan when they can’t confirm what’s actually included!!

Similarly, is Captain Jacks included on CocoCay?

 

Any further information greatly received!

Thanks so much!

From the terms of the UDP:

Izumi Sushi is a prix fixe menu or $39.99 food credit.
Izumi Hibachi is included, with a $15 surcharge. Chef's Table is included, with a $49.99 surcharge. Empire Supper Club is included, with a $130 surcharge.

Not valid for: Celebration Table, Izumi in the Park, Chops Grille premium cuts, Main Dining Room premium items, Taste of Royal, Chef's Table, Culinary Activities, and Holiday Celebration Dinners.

 

I think it has been mentioned that Pier 7 and the extra cost items at Basecamp would be covered by the a la carte credit.

Hmmm...no Izumi in the Park.  That's very interesting.

@CGTLH Thanks for the reply. 
 

I’ve seen the terms online so I guess as you advise that shows no inclusion at Izumi in the Park which is a shame. 

You’d think that if a venue is not included as an exclusion in the terms, by definition it would be included. 
However Matt’s latest podcasts states top up items at base camp are excluded as RCL consider this snacks and not dining. 
l’ve no idea how an excluded burger and fries at base camp differs to that at playmakers! 🤦‍♂️ 

 

As for Pier 7 still non the wiser. 
Rang RCL and emailed, may as well not bothered as they haven’t got a clue, which is poor when 10 days from sailing and paid over 1000 bucks for unlimited dining for a family. 
It seems on icon unlimited is far from unlimited!

Fantastic!  Thank you @Envy Travel for the info.  This is what I was hoping for.

"Wonderland by DaDong" making its way onto Icon would be an interesting development! 

Wonderland is fun to try and all but I kind of like that its only on a few ships.   Pushes me back to those ships to experience something like that again.  Just like the fried cheesecake at 150 Central Park.

$10 for Izumi in the Park ?  That’s pathetic

Looking at the menu, $10 credit is enough for two rolls or one bubble cone. Should be a good amount of food.

How much is the Taiyaki vanilla ice cream with strawberry drizzle and rainbow sprinkles served in an airy bubble cone?  I don't even know if $10 would cover that.  I don't mind going into Izumi to get food to go but the window would stream line that process much better.

I just looked up a picture Matt had of the menu for Izumi in the Park.  it is only $10 for two sushi rolls plus Edamame or seaweed salad, $8 for the hot dishes, and $8 for the bubble comes so it would cover a single to go order if you wanted one or the other.   With how much pricing has gone up for the dining package including $20 wouldn't hurt them but I guess it is a for profit company and people keep paying their prices.

Agreed - what I mean to say is: Wild that it is 2024 and Royal still has these weird copy/paste errors in their products. Not surprised but always wild that such a large company that has a good product can fail so often in disseminating correct information effectively.

Sometimes I feel like they just use a very vague generic description for everything.   Hard to tell what they mean at times and other times its confusing like you just said where they mention something that isn't even on the ship you are sailing on.
