spiralqueen Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 I saw something new in the dining section during my practically daily Cruise Planner stalking and thought I'd post about it here. It's a new package that is for Chops along with any other specialty dining restaurant. I see it in both my Nov Grandeur sailing and May 2020 Harmony one. The below screencap is from Harmony, but Grandeur has pricing at $59 pp. It looks like they would make you dine at Chops on night 1 and then you can pick any other night for the other restaurant. I wonder if this is a follow up to reports of Chops being excluded from packages on certain ships (Allure being the one I hear mentioned most often). Also I just noticed this in the terms and conditions "Second dinner of package may not be redeemed in Chops Grille. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionaMG Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 It's just popped up in my Cruise Planner too. Price (in GBP) is £49.40, which works out at about $64. This is on Adventure in November. Doesn't seem like a great deal on my sailing, with the 3-night package currently selling at £52.44 ($68).

MicDay Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 It just popped up on mine too. Harmony May 12th 2019 sailing I got the BOGO for $49 This new 2 meal is posted at $75 The only positive is the choosing when to have the second night, but not a game changer for me.

J_Keeble Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Its on my Rhapsody sailing in 24 days time I had the BOGO in my cart priced at £32 but now this has gone and been replaced with this which is £42 I should have booked it when I had the chance! as this new chops +1 doesn't seem no way near as good as the BOGO :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pima1988 Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 I laughed at it on my planner. The Chops +1 is going for 65. 3 night dinner is 69. Who on earth is going to do the Chops, when for $4 more you get 3 dinners. Baked Alaska 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1guynz Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 This has appeared for our Independence sailing. When I first saw it I thought it was for 2 people, I didn’t realise the +1 was for another restaurant. i need to read their fine print more closely next time.

WannaCruise Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Same here and BOGO is now gone for those sailing. For us BOGO was $57 CAD and Chops + 1 is $87. To ne it's not worth $30 to pick your second dinner night. Hope this isn't the end of BOGO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose City Cruiser Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 We were able to pick dining venues once onboard with the BOGO deal on Navigator. YMMV depending on existing reservations. That is another benefit of arriving to port early to finalize dining reservations for the entire sailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanowerx Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Can confirm, BOGO was removed from my cruise planner and Chops+1 took its place at $25 more per person. Which kinda sucks, because I was thinking about jumping on BOGO with Chops and something else, just the caveat of having to use them both on day 1 and 2 is what stopped me. I guess the fact that Chops+1 lets you pick your first day as day 1 or 2 and the 2nd dinner can be any other day of the cruise is pretty appealing, however. I might end up doing it anyway, but they are going to have to offer a slight price drop first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pissed@RC Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 Be warned RC does a huge rip off with this package. We bought the package on-board for $49/person for 4 people. We were CHARGED for an additional $235 at Chops when we dined there! When I questioned the charge they said it was because we had 8 people dine at Izumi so used up the 8 meals. This is a TOTAL LIE. We had 6 people at the table, 1 was the child that is supposed to be free. The other person was there just to socialize and had a few drinks that we paid for separately. I've been fighting this charge for 2 weeks now and they still won't fix it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
