Did I miss something - Chops now $49 pp

Went to cruise planner for upcoming Oasis cruise and saw that Chops is now $49 pp. We sailed in mid December and Chops was $42. At $49 we likely would not go if we did not have C&A BOGO . Not sure where the price will be for it to me too high for me, but I suspect it is close!

I see that 150 Central Park went from $42 (in December) to $40 in the cruise planner for our upcoming cruise.

In December we went to 150 Central Park the first night and it was nearly empty. Second night we went to Chops and it was full. Central Park has a varied menu ( not a set menu as we had recalled in the past) but only allowed each of us to order an appetizer and main entrée. We also wanted to split a salad but it was denied. Meal was good and a different pace and feel from Chops or Giovanni's.

Do Royal charge a different price according to each ship we have a cruise booked and the price for Chops is £28.70 which when converted at the rate offered by Royal for adding a OBC the rate is $1.25 to £1 works out at $35.87. The exchange rate is what Royal was offering last week to UK guest wishing to add a OBC to any cruise currently booked.

Yes, prices vary ship to ship and even cruise to cruise.

On Feb. 23 Navigator it was $35 per & Giovanni's was $30 per.

Sorry, Feb 3rd.

Valentines Day on Allure Chops was $62 pp! Needless to say, we didn't go!

We booked two dinners in Chops for a March 12th cruise on Jewel and it was $35/pp. Must be more on the larger ships.

Grandeur was $35/each restaurant last I looked.

We just did 'first night done right' on oasis for $15 pp. Chops was one of the choices when we got onboard (which is when you can make your reservation/switch). We chose Giovanni's (and we're not happy at all fwiw)

On the Serenade it was $30pp before prices went up in the fall, then it was $35pp.

$35 isn't necessarily bad, but when you consider it's $35 - $50 MORE than an already outstanding meal in the MDR.... I don't get it. It's not like Chops is some sort of foodie destination. Was considering upcharge dining on our Harmony cruise, but not at that price.

Long gone is Chops at $20.00 when it first became an option...I haven't eaten in there since...not worth it to me :eek:

Yep I remember the $20.00 Chops dinner and honestly I thought the food and service were better then.

The specialty restaurants are totally NOT worth these prices! Remember, too, that you're not eating the meal for which you've paid in the MDR, meaning that the cost is actually higher still.

I'd rather eat in the MDR and use that extra money to go out to eat at home.

Thinking about trying chops on the Adventure. I see it is 45.85 Canadian (about 35$ USD) per person. from your experience do you think it is worth it

It is no longer worth the cost to us. They keep raising the price and reducing the choices and quality of food.

However, I do read posts here that are very positive, so you should give it a try yourself.

Chops is $39 on Liberty.

RCL is getting ridiculous with there pricing on everything.

We got to eat at Chops for $20pp because of the 5-night package ($100/5 nights = $20 per night) and even though we loved it enough to go 3 times on our last cruise I doubt we would ever pay full price for it.

I just booked Chops last week for my July cruise on Explorer. $39 pp

Chops on Anthem was $36 each when we were on the last cruise. Even at that, wasn't worth it, and the service was mundane, very slow. We'll never do that again. Wouldn't mind trying Giovanni's on Brilliance though.

49$ on Allure too. I paid 42$ for my sister birthday (she wants to eat there and i said to her That i took a reservation for one lol!)

Did they finally get to add Chops to AOS ? I know it was delayed during the last drydock due to the hurricane.

I believe it's supposed to be ready in a week or two.

Our upcoming Serenade is $35 for Chops, with D+ BOGO, it's $17.50. Only $15 for the FNDR crowd.
