chiboo9 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Posted April 25, 2017 My husband and I are going on our very first cruise ever to celebrate our 5 yr anniversary in September. We'll be on the 3 night itinerary on Enchantment of the Seas. Day 1/Night 1 is our actual anniversary - is it a good idea to dine (and splurge a bit) at Chops or should we dine in MDR? Quote
DocLC Posted April 25, 2017 Report Posted April 25, 2017 I would splurge and prebook Chops. chiboo9, FManke and Pippa_OceanTime 3 Quote

WAAAYTOOO Posted April 25, 2017 Report Posted April 25, 2017 I usually like to go to the MDR on the first night just to cement my table and relationship with my waiters but since you are only going to be there 3 nights and the first night is your anniversary, I concur with the others. Go for Chops !! DocLC and chiboo9 2 Quote
chiboo9 Posted April 25, 2017 Author Report Posted April 25, 2017 Thanks, all! I wasn't sure if MDR would be a better option since it's Day/Night 1 and it's our first cruise and I've heard dining in MDR on first night is best to get a feel of the dining service. But since it's our anniversary and we're only there 3 short nights, I'm aiming for as special as possible. Hahah. Also, I think I've read somewhere that if you opt for specialty restaurant on embarkation day, there's a discount? Is that true? Where do I look into this discount? Quote
DocLC Posted April 25, 2017 Report Posted April 25, 2017 @chiboo9 There's usually a 20% discount. I'm not sure if it shows up online or not, but the will refund the difference if you paid the full price and then it is discounted onboard. chiboo9 1 Quote

We are eating in the MDR for our anniversary during our cruise because it falls on the fifth night of the cruise which is also formal/lobster night, but will be dining in Chops another night during our cruise. chiboo9 1 Quote

I purchased and made our reservation without the 20% discount. I called afterwards asking about it and they said it's not applicable. Hhhmm. Quote
RestingBird Posted April 30, 2017 Report Posted April 30, 2017 I wonder if the 20% off is if you book it ON the first day for that night. Quote

But the option doesn't show on Cruise planner for me. So probably not? Probably a good thing because Chops for 3 nights in a row for $75/person is not a horrible price and I'd be tempted to get it for us. Quote
