Kurtp13 Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 We are sailing on Anthem and I would like to have lunch at Jamie's and Chops. Are the pre sailing prices different than on board prices. The lunch prices never seem to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimnKathy Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 As everyone else will likely tell you, better to book it now vs. waiting until you get on the ship...the prices are typically higher if you wait until you're aboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtp13 Posted July 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Dinners I know are higher but I've never paid attention to the lunch prices. Right now chops is $24.99 and Jamie's is $22.99. Is it really higher on board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristiZ Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Those are the same prices I'm used to seeing onboard. However, that was Before, so they might have gone up. You can always book ahead and then reschedule onboard if you decide that day/time don't work for you. I've rarely seen a specialty restaurant full at lunchtime.

HeWhoWaits Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 The main reason to pre-purchase would be to lock in a guaranteed dining opportunity. Waiting until on board might mess with availability at times you're interested in eating. USCG Teacher and BrianB 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianB Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Booking early and locking in my preferred time and place would be considered a win for me. If I end up having to pay more (which really isn’t much) then I consider it a ‘peace of mind’ convenience fee. Beats stressing pre-cruise…especially with limited capacity dining. Enjoy!

Ampurp85 Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 I was new to cruising on RCG when I was on Mariner in 2019, so I got my specialty lunch and dinner at a discount on board. JI was like 25-30% off and I remember paying something like $20 pp with gratuity. I got Chop's for $35 pp and thought that was a steal for a steakhouse style restaurant. Of course now with limit capacity and such, it is better to book everything asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonOasis Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 My advise would be to buy in advance, if you know you want to do lunch at both Chops and Jamie's just buy it now because one thing is for sure prices will not be lower onboard.
