Royal Caribbean Dining Package Pros & Cons

[@Ateyaaa]

It's the best in my opinion. We go for 7 days and that's 3 lunches and 7 dinners. We love specialty dining!

[@simonehancock643]

Idk but I don’t like that. For my 4 night that’s 4 dinner and 2 lunches. I wish it was truly unlimited whereas I can dine at multiple places for lunch and dinner daily. I’m trying to make sure the $530 for four people is worth it. On top of that is 100 something dollars for gratuities.

[@Ateyaaa]

Wait... no no no. Our Specialty Dining for December is $350 a couple. We got it on sale. Last time it was like $375 a couple. And the stuff we ate every night TRUST ME is so worth it (steak, shrimp, ribeye, lamb chops, the works) and our gratuity was added already to ours and our stay. We always catch it for 40% off. @@simonehancock643

I just booked my first ever cruise with Royal Caribbean in 2023 and all the information you share is amazing and so helpful! I have learned so much. Thank you!

[@RoyalCaribbeanBlog]

Glad it was helpful!

[@johndittmer8488]

I'm pro-dining package. However, I wish that they would let us make the reservations before we sail. It's a hassle to rush and make all the reservations on Embarkation Day.

[@summerjohnson2780]

Do you have to go to each restaurant to make the reservations or just through the app once onboard?

[@johndittmer8488]

@@summerjohnson2780: You can simply use the app once you get onboard. If you didn't get the dining package ahead of time, they will have a desk on the Promenade and the staff member there who is selling the packages can help make the reservations for you or you can go to any restaurant and they will help.

[@scottgunerman]

@@johndittmer8488 how hard is it to use the app? Or is it easier to just got to a restaurant and have them make the reservations?

[@dianej1714]

The way they do it makes sense for Royal. They make more money from selling specialty restaurants separately from the package. The package gives you a discount, but you can't book in advance, so that's the difference. The package can be frustrating when you can't get the reservation times that you want.

[@Cali_12024]

Im going on a 4 nights cruise is it worthy to get dining package? or just pick a 1 or 2 special restaurant to try when I get onboard I don’t need to try all the food anyways Im only into japanese food.

[@sheilalarson8964]

I'm good with the MDR and Windjammer buffet.

[@AlexgoesCoconuts]

Another pro for the dining package is if you have food allergies. With food allergies, our choices of restaurants are limited since most of the buffets and grab and go areas have too much cross contamination. That only leaves the main dining room as our only option. The signature restaurants however are safer since we can speak to the waiter and the chef about our food allergies and they are usually very accommodating.

[@realcdcruze3558]

I think the unlimited dining package is good if you will use it. It’s no problem to make bookings if you call any restaurant on embarkation day and make all your reservations. If you look at the cost of the dining paid for individually versus the package it would help you make a decision. We only went to each restaurant once and honestly preferred the MDR. We felt the service in the specialty dining was stuffy and I felt the need to tip when I was given a bill for $0.00 and pre paid my gratuities already. We now just stick to MDR and anytime dining and the opportunity for room service, pizza by the pool or buffet. We were disappointed with Johnny Rockets and the found the burgers in the buffet were nicer (less greasy).

[@jimroscovius]

We've never bought a dining package, but we have eaten at one specialty restaurant on each of our four cruises. They're nice, but I wouldn't want to do it every night. We eat in the main dining room, and even did the buffet one night when we were tired.

[@sachaput]

I had the drink package on my December cruise and loved it. Passed on the dining package. As a solo traveler I was fine using the other dining options aboard, might think different if I was sailing with a partner.

[@marywiethe987]

Matt, Another couple of reasons, is that you're expected to dress up for some of the specialty restaurants. Also, once your wait staff knows your likes, they will really go above and beyond to make your meals special. We just cam off of Royal Caribbean cruise this morning and our wait staff took fantastic care of us. Early on during our cruise our head waiter asked us how our food was. We mentioned that it would be nice if the serving of vegetables could be a bit larger. Every night after that they brought us an extra plate of multiple vegetables. Our waiter also encouraged me to choose both a soup and salad appetizer. And there was more. The guys were great, so we were happy to give them an extra tip at the end of our cruise. If there is anything that you like or disike about your meals, let your wait staff know. They will bend over backwards to let you know how much they want you to value your experience.

[@davva360]

LOL I was on Harmony in December. On Tenderloin night I joked that it was awesome but a slice or two more would have made it better. Two minutes later I had another serving LOL. I think the dining room was excellent on Harmony and while we did a couple of specialty restaurants but honestly you don't need to.

[@yolandaklimasewski2996]

I had to come back and revisit this vlog as I was trying to determine if I should do the unlimited or the 3 night dining package on my solo 7nt cruise on WOTS. You never disappoint. Decision made... Thanks!!!❤❤

[@crystalharris9912]

The dining package is amazing. It just adds another level to feeling on vacation. And the tables are not as crowded together as the main dining room. I think it’s worth it every time.

[@rainbowcheeze99]

Every time I come here, I learn something new. Thanks for your video.

[@FoodiesVacations]

Don’t forget Solarium Bistro… good food that has a healthy twist on it

[@shareenkobus343]

The first few years we cruised we went to the MDR. It was fine but crowded. As we tried a specialty dining one or twice on a cruise we came to appreciate the ambiance and developing a relationship with the staff and still being able to order and eat what we wanted. My advice to first time cruisers to eat at complimentary restaurants including the MDR. Also, track your cocktail expenditures and determine for yourself if you find value in the package or pay as you go. The bottom line is to relax and enjoy.

[@ashleynbjohnson7623]

Im pro package... to me the point of vacation especially a cruise is to get the most out of your time and great food and service is one of them

[@lkrsfn]

My wife and I did the unlimited dining package a couple of years ago on a seven night cruise and it's a requirement from now on. It was a different dining experience for us because we did not have to cram everything into one sitting at one of the specialty restaurants. Wonderland is our favorite, and we ended up going there multiple times on that cruise, each time having a different fun experience. In fact, on the last night, they just brought us our favorite things. Very personalized service. We will be on symphony of The seas later this year and yes we took advantage of the 55% discount and already purchased the unlimited dining package for the cruise.

[@Tomec86]

I'm going on my first cruise in a couple weeks and have to say I'm really looking forward to Wonderland. Everything I've seen about it seems so just fun and whimsical. Granted there are one or two things I may stay away from like the tomato water (but I don't like tomatoes sssssoooo...)

[@dominatrix1668]

Pro-dining package. I'm very organized & head straight to any restaurant on the 1st day to make all our reservations for the week. This is all worked out beforehand. Better to reschedule if necessary. Our deal was around $220 each for the week.

[@toddblount8841]

Problem we have with the meal packages as the meals are so big. I had bariatric surgery and I would waste so much of these meals. We would love to try this if my wife and I could share a meal.

[@travelcrazyguy9082]

We always get the three night pkg , it's the best of both worlds even staying in a jr. suite or above and this is on 7 night or longer. Thanks for all your helpfull info.

[@wendytabon3029]

[@MrKayakinglife]

Matt I am really confused about how you said it is a lot of food? You just order what you want to eat, you don't have to get a dessert or apps if you do not want them. On my 11 night cruise engagement cruise, I got use the U.D.P. and my gf now fiancee loved it! As Matt said it did elevate our whole cruise experience. It is something I made sure to book again on our anniversary engagement cruise in 30 days.

[@susettejackson352]

Generally get the 3 day dining package…this works well for me since I thoroughly enjoy Chops!!

[@MedicTopher]

Did a 3 night package, worked well for my friends and I.

[@12044m]

This is my first cruise with Royal Caribbean. 10 night. We are doing the 3 night dining package. I figure it’s the best of both worlds and I can get a bottle of wine for 40% off 👍

[@troisshavers]

I ain't heard your voice in a long time on these videos. Welcome back. And I Love the videos

[@beege4491]

We have been very happy with the main dining room. I would love a breakdown of what the different restaurants charge and are they open for lunch (if they are, is there a difference in the charge). We are sailing in December 2022 and it would be easier to decide with more information. Thank you. We are loyal to Royal and love your videos,

[@davewalstad9254]

First of all-I'm a food snob, period! I've done the dining package on another cruise line, and I enjoyed it immensely. I've already booked it for all four of us for our next cruises. We are doing back to back cruises on the Allure starting April 2nd. After watching this and hearing what you said about being compelled, and how good the complimentary restaurants are, I'm wondering if I should have booked the unlimited for both cruises! Perhaps a 3 night package on the 2nd would have sufficed, or even for both. This is my first RC cruise and I'm very excited!! Thanks!!

[@edobkin]

How was it?!

[@tnmingle]

Thank you for explaining that if you get a dining package you can’t book until you are on the cruise! My mom is just itching to book the restaurants 😅

[@kevinbutler7619]

I'm doing a 12 day royal cruise, my first time with them in 20 years. I'm going with the 3 night dining package to get a sampling of all royals food choices.

[@joemock2314]

I LOVE Unlimited Dining Pkg, ESPECIALLY when it's just my wife of brother with me on the cruise. Each dinner feels more like a "Special Night Out"! With a larger group, I'd do the MDR with maybe one night out at Izumi Hibachi, or a night away from the group. Also, I've found is easy to request my waiter at any specialty restaurant if you find one that's exceptional! Happy Sails To You!

[@untamedopinion]

Just got done sailing on the Navigator on a 7N cruise. My wife and I got the ULD package. This was the 2nd time we did it and we LOVE IT. Specialty restaurant every night and the food was DELICIOUS!! Worth every penny and then some. I do agree that I wish reservations could be made ahead of time when using the ULD package. My guess is that they want the "prime-time" slots for those guests paying A-la-Carte. My wife and I ate at 8:00pm every night which was what we wanted. The one night we had a 8:30pm reservation, we showed up at 7:45 and they sat us right down. Having only 2200 pax does help in that regard.

[@larry4111]

A word of advice for people looking to purchase a dining package - don't wait for the last couple of months to buy them online. I was excited to finally be going on my first Transatlantic cruise, after cancellations in 2020 and 2021, on Wonder of the Seas and enjoying the specialty restaurants. I waited with bated breath for them to be announced and even downloaded all the menus. A few weeks ago, about 2 months away, I went online to buy a dining package and none were showing up. I checked daily. Now we are 30 days out and I called and was told that they sold out a long time ago. And will not be going back on sale now or in the future or onboard. I did the math and I might be able to eat at Wonderland and Izumi, 2 meals, for the price of the 5 dining package.

[@davva360]

We did the two night package on our last Royal Caribbean cruise on Harmony of the Seas. I think it was about $60 on sale during thanksgiving. We went to Jamies Italian and Chops for the same price as Chops would have cost. I enjoyed both restaurants. Personally I would not pay for the unlimited package because the dining room food is very good anyway and there are some restaurants I really would not be that interested in.

[@serenagrantham8077]

Ty for the info! I think we’re gonna do it. $305 for 4 days…there’s 2 adults, 2 kids. They don’t charge for kids under 6. I have a 3 and 6 yo. Chefs table is included in ours but it’s a 49.99 surcharge. We’re going on navigator of the seas 5/30/22

[@kristenmoon4405]

Another factor to consider is the unliklihood of using the dining package on ‘in port’ days. Like, you can count on it for dinner for sure, but realistically you wont be eating breakfast/lunch at speciality dining on in port days, which on a, say, 7 day cruise, will be half the cruise. I’m pro dining packages myself, but we would only eat at one maybe 4x during a whole cruise cycle.

[@lindadennis867]

As a solo cruiser I am Pro dining package I prefer the smaller dining rooms of specially restaurant to walking through the main dining room pass hundreds of people each night to get to my table. I will do the main dining room one night of my cruise which is lobster night but the lobsters are getting so small I am considering giving it a miss going forward.

[@oceejay5148]

How do I get packages ?

[@nubiega9016]

I did 3 night dining package on my first Royal Caribbean cruise this Thanksgiving. I will get the unlimited package next time as we are not big on MDR or the Windjammer

[@erikagholston6610]

I have never done a dining package thanks for breaking it down. I might try the 3 night on my next cruise.

[@deemo359]

Hi Matt, Great video, as always! You consistently provide valuable information and your B-roll is the best!

[@joeriley6502]

You missed 2 big Pros. For the UDP you can use it for lunch on sea days. Second is that you can use it on embarkation day and eat at specialty while everyone is headed to the Windjammer.

[@kvom01]

I booked unlimited package for a 14 day repositioning cruise with 9 sea days. So in theory I can eat at the specialty restaurants 22 times during the cruise. I'm not likely to do so, but for the $320 cost that's a potential of only $14+ per meal. I also prefer a fish-heavy diet, so being able to eat many times at Izumi is for me a plus. I believe the chef's table is not full price if one has the unlimited package. One con you might have mentioned is that it might be better to skip on the 3 and 5 day cruises where there are enough complimentary dining spots for variety. Booking an inside cabin also meant that paying for the package means paying less than a lot of people with balconies in total.

[@signiustalas]

Izumi... You said it and i agree, this alone is going to make it worth it.

[@khanhlyluong8003]

Does Izumi is included in the dining package? TIA

[@signiustalas]

@@khanhlyluong8003 On the ovation there is Izumi sushi no hibachi and i get $35 credit

[@lightlydark416]

Getting the unlimited for my cruise 1 adult 2 kids at $390 it is definitely worth it and I pay $100 for us to eat at our fav restaurants at home anyway so for a 7 night cruise this is good for me🎉

[@DPaz-ug6zh]

I was really happy with the specialty dining on the Oasis class ship I went on, I found the quality of the food in the Main Dining Room to be a little sub-par. I didn’t have a single bad meal in Specialty dining. Room Service and Windjammer were acceptable but not great.

[@wootter]

This must be very new, because this is the first time I’ve seen it, but it looks like Chef’s Table is now available as an up charge similar to hibachi: In the fine print on Cruise Planner for my upcoming Symphony cruise: For ships with these venues, Teppanyaki/Izumi Hibachi is included, with a $10 surcharge, Chef's Table is included, with a $49.99 surcharge, and Dadong is included, with a $35 surcharge. These will be charged once onboard.

That is a great ship to purchase the Unlimited Dining Package because you can just about eat at a different restaurant each night. I purchased it for Oasis. Not sure if I'm keeping it because my family likes to eat in the MDR. I'm in a cabin solo so I purchased for myself. In my research someone said with the Unlimited Dining Package to get something from Playmakers whenever you are near it. The Package is Unlimited after all. Some have said that they have gotten wings from Playmakers or sushi from Izumi to go for a late night snack. There are so many options with the UDP on the bigger ships.

Definitely PRO dining packages, but generally speaking, the 3-night package is enough. UDP is fun, especially if you have a lot of sea days and you're using it for lunch, like on a transatlantic. But it is a TON of food, something you really have to be ready for.

[@Tomec86]

While I've never been on a cruise (only a couple weeks away now!) I never even gave thought to NOT getting a dining package. I'm a big foodie and though maybe the main dining room is ok for that (or maybe better if you befriend the chef and ask for regional dishes!) all the specialty restaurants sound so good. Plus that is only for dinner so I don't feel like I'm missing out on the complimentary stuff or even the main dining room since I can do those for breakfast and lunch.

We book the 3 night package and its well worth it, but its enough for our 7 day cruise. By day two we are stuffed all the time.

[@T_Jonesy]

Booked a Grand Suite on Quantum this May specifically to get Coastal Kitchen in lieu of purchasing the UDP. It might have just been that ship, but the food was really terrible. We were so disappointed that after the 2nd night, we never went back. We're doing a 14 day Transatlantic this October and I immediately booked the UDP. Also important to know that a lot of times the Hibachi restaurant is booked up before you even get onboard, so having the UDP doesn't guarantee you an Hibachi dinner, unfortunately.

[@billclayton1898]

Dec.11,2022 will be our first UDP! We have always stayed with MDR or 3 dinner pkg. We are excited to try this on Wonder of the Seas. I know we will need to pace our selves.

[@maziegaarak3701]

I wish they had something like chef's table for non-drinkers. As a non-drinker I feel the packages as well as the pay dining options are a waste for us. We are eating at Wonderland on our next cruise for our daughter's birthday, but we're just paying for that one dining experience. We are not soda drinker either. We like smoothies and fancy fruit based drinks, but they really don't have much in this category offered that would make any kind of drink package a good option for us.

I have an unusual question and I haven’t been able to find an answer anywhere. If I have the dining package can I still go to the buffet during dinner hours for a pre-dinner snack before I go to Chops for my dinner reservation? Furthermore, could I use the dining package to make a dinner reservation at Chops for 5 pm and also make a reservation for 8pm at a second specialty restaurant? Or is it one dinner per night with the dining package? Just trying to make sure I know my options; my first ever cruise is in 5 months.

Even though I will also have access to Coastal Kitchen, I still think for us it makes sense to do the UDP. I do agree with Matt that we may feel we HAVE to dine at Specialties every night to kind of get our moneys worth. However, we took advantage of a 55% off sale and even if we only eat out 4 or 5 nights and take advantage of the Specialty Lunches on sea days, we will have surpassed the amount we paid.

Excellent Video!

Variety is a nice thing to have however…. I love the food so much at the Wind jammer and main dining room alone… (there’s also the Pizza place 🤤that closes late) plus the theme days/nights provide a variety…. There aren’t enough days in any cruise, space in my tummy….. 🤤

Bought a 3 day dining package for my 8 day cruise in August.

We tried 2 speciality on last rci cruise and I wouldn’t do them again I don’t think. I didn’t feel it was worth the $$$ as I found the meals in the main dining hall was just as good. Save the $$$ and put it towards something else

The offer on my reservation still says, "Unlimited visits to specialty dining restaurants every night of your sailing and lunch on sea days. Plus the ala carte lists. Do you know if it is retroactive 🙂

Yes

I am Diamond Plus, we participate in the Buy one Get one Free for the first 2 nights and maybe we will purchase a full price meal the rest of the week. I believe it is to much food every night for the dining package. I like going to the dining room and having the same waiter (we do My Time Dining and request our waiter). Some days we just want to take it easy and go to the Windjammer.

I usually buy everything unlimited. Drink package, dinning package etc. i hate the feeling of feeling limited on a cruise.

[@MrMopeake]

Me too!
