This seems like it should be a FAQ, but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere (and I'm a first time cruiser and poster, be kind!). I'm a solo cruiser in a studio, so get one specialty meal with FAS. Upgraded to FAS Plus, so I get two more for a total of three. Made reservations for said three meals. So far so good. I'm at Cagney's on embarkation day (8PM so I can enjoy sailaway), Ocean Blue day 2, and Le Bistro on another sea day later in the cruise. So far so good.
Let's say that I pop into American Diner for lunch on day 2. Can I decline using the SDP and pay a la carte being that I have the reservations already?
Also, somewhat unrelated, but the terms are unclear. Are the wine dispensers in the studio lounge included in the Premium Plus beverage package I get with FAS Plus? The terms say "Includes unlimited fountain soda, freshly squeezed juice, bottled water (still and sparkling), energy drinks, non-alcoholic beer, wine dispensers, and specialty coffee." However, below that it says "Does not include room service, mini bar purchases, vending machines, or pre-cruise wine bottle purchases, or Connoisseur Collection beverages."
Is the thing in the studio lounge a wine dispenser (included) or a vending machine (not included)? Why make it so confusing?
