No Dining Packages for Thanksgiving Cruise on Symphony

[jamescrickenberg]

I was just told that they are no longer offering specialty dining packages on holiday cruise !!! WOW I guess I will not be cruising with Royal anymore for the holidays.. We love the specialty rest. but not for $200 per night for 4 people.... VERY SAD !!!

It's been reported before on other holiday cruises. Specialty restaurant prices onboard will likely also be higher.

We have been on the RC for Thanksgiving the past 2 years and they sold the 3, 4, and 5 day packages

We're on Allure over Thanksgiving this year and can confirm there's no dining package on ours either.

You think that’s expensive, try over Christmas where the prices are over 50% more for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day,

For the cost of specialty dining you could almost upgrade to a Star Class suite and the restaurants are included.

Not even close.

People will pay the difference; they see a business opportunity and took it. I am taking another Christmas cruise with the family. The rates are SO much higher than other seasons. Once again though, people like me will pay for it. Supply and demand. I won’t, however, be paying for specialty restaurants. I guess that’s the price we pay for going at peak seasons.

Don't know about Thanksgiving, but for Christmas and NYE, they've started adding a glass of "complimentary" cheap champagne and then charging double for the meal. At least that was the drill for the past 2 years. I honestly don't recall what we paid the years prior to that.

 

OP - Enjoy your family time regardless of where you decide to have the meal.

Not surprising. On our Feb. 2, '20 sail only the 1st. 2 night and the ultimate dining package are being offered.

None.:pTrying to make a point in that not all dining plans are available on Symphony. Maybe it' due to the newness.

 

Ps. Are you aware that this October is National Caramel Month.:halo:

Isn’t it really too far in advance to have a full picture of what will be offered?

Last NYE on Nav there were no packages and specialties were $79 PP on NYE. Rest of the cruise they were back to normal but no deals.
