chiboo9 8 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share 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?

DocLC 2,015 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 I would splurge and prebook Chops. chiboo9, Pippa_OceanTime and FManke 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KLA 1,813 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 +1 for Chops! DocLC, chiboo9 and Pippa_OceanTime 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WAAAYTOOO 12,148 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share 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 !! chiboo9 and DocLC 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chiboo9 8 Posted April 25, 2017 Author Report Share 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?

DocLC 2,015 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

Another vote for Chops, since the first night is actually your anniversary. 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 Link to post Share on other sites

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 Link to post Share on other sites
RestingBird 382 Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 I wonder if the 20% off is if you book it ON the first day for that night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 Link to post Share on other sites
