What does the From* mean in Cruise Planner?

[bmiller297]

In my Cruise Planner, just about everything our party might want to buy comes with a From *. For example, a dinner at Chops is From* 35.00 usd. What does this mean? What is the real cost? And can one use the prices quoted for the individual specialty restaurants to figure out if the dining packages make sense or not? The dining packages also come with a From*. This new to Royal cruiser thanks you!

That usually means the base price for 1 is the amount. Also it can depend on any “package” you may purchase as well as how many reservations you make

It means is doesn't HAVE to be that price....that's the starting point. They will go as high as folks will pay.

When you put the item in your shopping cart, you see the actual price.

I have noticed for the spa it means on a very rare occasion you will find the item for that price. On my upcoming cruise everything at the spa averaged $60 - $100 more than the starting price.

I've never figured that out exactly. I have never tried pricing on the spa. For other things in the Cruise Planner, the from price seems to be what it actually is. The actual price on booking a cruise is usually, much, much higher than the from price.

My thinking on Chops is that a standard dinner is $35, but if one orders the lobster or the dry aged steak that is an upcharge, the price will not be $35.00.

 

We have gotten the 5 night dining package on Allure twice and we were able to use it at Chops every night we wanted to. The price of a standard dinner on Allure at Chops is $49 but there are a couple of options that add on additional charges. The dining package was definitely worth it for us.
