Unlimited dining package on boarding day

[MaxandEmme]

We sail on the Oasis of the Seas in 2 weeks and purchased the Unlimited Dining package. Does anyone know which restaurants we can dine at for lunch with the package on boarding day? Thank you in advance!

Whichever ones are open

If in a suite concierge can help if not go to any that are open asap after boarding.

When we cruised on Harmony of the seas approximately 3 years ago, we also had the package and we attempted to dine at Chops and was told by the hostess that we couldn’t use our package there on boarding day for lunch.

On the app it shows Chops open  for lunch June 16th on Oasis.  It also shows Giovanni’s closed each day for lunch which is not true. If you look at the current sailing you can see Giovanni’s open several days for lunch.  Although I have not cruised Oasis, Other ships that I have cruised with a Giovanni’s had it open for lunch.  If not too late check the app June 9th and look up the current Oasis offering.   You will be able to see then what is opened the first day on the Oasis.  More than likely the same ones will be opened the next week.

BTW, when you go to lunch at a specialty restaurant after boarding you can have them set up your reservations for the rest of your dining.

Thank you for all of your replies! Since the Chops hostess stated that we weren’t permitted to use our unlimited package for lunch that day of embarkation, we assumed that they didn’t consider it a sea day?? I was just wandering if anyone had this experience and which other specialty dining they were able to dine at for lunch instead. I didn’t want to be charged separately for specialty dining since we already purchased the package. Thanks again!

The UDP is valid for lunch on embarkation day.

I’ve never been denied embarkation lunch when I’ve had the UDP.  I would guess that either Chops or Giovanni’s or both will be open for embarkation.

[Roybthered]

You can use the UDP at any specialty restaurant that is open on embarkation day.

We also take the UDP.  Sometimes the specialty restaurants rotate, so when you get on board your app will let you know which are open.  You can also ask the guest services representatives or suite concierge if in a suite.

 

Enjoy

We just left Harmony on Saturday ☹️. We were able to have a nice meal at Sabor while waiting for our cabin to open. I didn’t check other restaurants but I think Chops is reserved for The Key on boarding day?
