Specialty Dining vs. Ultimate Dining Package on Reflection

[jasm8449]

Thanks for your response. I am aware that the 4&5 night specialty dining packages do not include drinks. But on another thread someone mentioned Bacio was included in the Ultimate package. Since pastries are free there I was wondering if they meant coffee drinks. I didn't think so but thought I'd ask. Thx for confirming!

Contrary to some early (2013) posts in this thread ...

(1) the unlimited specialty dining package cannot be purchased in advance, but only upon boarding, ...

(2) it no longer includes any breakfasts, ... and

(3) it can be used at Sushi On 5, which replaced Bistro On 5.

We are sailing on the Reflection next year, and I'm curious about this ultimate dining package. I know the thread was started a while ago - are the prices still current? Since it cannot be purchased until we are on board, I'm assuming we can use our OBC for it.

Do you know whether this can only be purchased on embarkation day - or is it possible to buy it a few days into the cruise?

Thank you

As far as I know, embarking only. Also allegedly only a limited number of these packages are available. We enjoy on S class ships, especially reflection and Silhouette. We will also purchase on our eclipse cruise.

How does the package work in Sushi on Five since it is al a carte? Can you eat as much sushi as you want?

[Cruise a holic]

You can eat all the sushi you want. We had appetizers at sushi on five and dinner at the lawn grill. A great package

Would this package be a good deal on Equinox since she does not have Porch or Lawn Club?

[Cruise a holic]

Of course you have less choice, but you would have to decide

Do you tip extra each night with UDP? Generally how much?

So how does it work with the wine pairing menu? Do you have to pay the full amount, even if you also have a premium drinks package?

I think I saw a reduced price if you had bev pkg - you'll have to inquire at your sailing.
