Baked Alaska Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 I have found my threshold. I will not purchase any dining packages at the prices stated below for our upcoming 7-night Harmony Sailing in March. We will enjoy Coastal Kitchen all the more (GS) and the Windjammer. I look at the Cruise Planner almost daily. Hopefully, this is an intern mistake in the wrong direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, though, that's crazy money. I noticed the prices had gone up on my next cruises as well. There are several MDR menus we really don't care for and we'd be up for booking packages if they were more reasonably priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloatyBoaty Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 Not sure if it's a mistake, but certainly hope so! - those are the prices I was offered on Wonder this summer. Missed the chance to purchase lower (stupid me, learned that lesson) and it never went down again. Baked Alaska 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll change that, but I am not listing them. Crud. I probably just jinxed myself, didn't I? We were thinking about buying the Unlimited, but not even at $219 which was the previous high mark. Oh well. Poo on RCL. FloatyBoaty, WAAAYTOOO and FionaMG 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fwiw. Yes. $223 for this sailing. Yes, I purchased at the price. On our last sailing (New Years 2022/2023) it was $89. I know that won't happen again, but man! brdjnr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brdjnr Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 UDP is $208.99 for our August sailing. That is considerably more than what we paid June and August of this year. It seems they are keeping the fares low (considering inflation/fuel/food/etc) but the ancillary stuff is going up considerably.

Va4fam Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 I have been successful finding the 3 night package for $100 or less.....so far. Not a lot of interest in purchasing above that price point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lot of interest in purchasing above that price point. Even that's too much for us. The last packages we bought were pre pandemic and worked out at under $20 per person per meal. No chance of ever seeing those prices again. I actually wish they would offer a la carte options at the specialty restaurants because our main gripe is that we eat too little to get our money's worth on the cost of a full meal. I'd happily pay a cheaper price just for a main course. RWDW1204 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not easy being green Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 With prices we can afford the cruise, but airfare is anything but fair!! With our upcoming November/December cruise, the Drink package no longer has the internet option and is around $ 80+ a day. Also the Dinning Package is crazy expensive - we still may do a one nighter but not the every day plan. We check daily to see if the price drops, so far nope/nada only time will tell. fireclan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KristiZ Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 My March trip on Rhapsody (Mar 5, 2023) is the same price per day as you're showing. Crazy high! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 My threshold is price but value. They are high, but I will still do a 3day or UDP for a large ship as long as it is $35/day or less. I am over Chops, so the Chops+1 no longer holds value. The UDP was $195, on sale, for my 5N Jan 2023 Grandeur and I decided to forego as there aren't a lot of specialty restaurants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike n Ky Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 I see that the price is 112 pp on the 3NDP on our January cruise as well. Post Covid we have done the 3NDP on 4 cruises. The lowest price was either 69 or 79 pp and the highest was 99. Always do Chops as we really enjoy it. Will not do the next on Odyssey as we have CK and will just do Izumi hibachi with friends. If the price is right might do one on Wonder in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
