SAmome Posted April 13, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I'm assuming Mariner/Navigator and smaller ships, with fewer specialty options and already excluding Hibachi, it would be harder to exclude Chops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micruiser2002 Posted April 13, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I have never seen Chops excluded on any ship. Maybe I missed something?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted April 13, 2019 #3 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Each ship is free to implement restrictions as they see fit. Many ships allow Chops but exclude Hibachi, Hooked or Wonderland. On some ships Chops is their best venue so they make up restrictions knowing people will book Chops without a BOGO. The only consistency with Royal is a complete lack of consistency.

Ken at the beach Posted April 13, 2019 #4 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I have never seen Chops excluded from BOGO. It was FNDR that Chops was excluded from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been on Anthem some 4 times and whether it's the 2 restaurant package or the + BOGO, Chop's has never been excluded. Off the Symphony Feb 2 sail and went to Chop's the 1st night as part of the 2 restaurants promo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwich Cruiser Posted April 14, 2019 #7 Share Posted April 14, 2019 We’ve done BOGO plus FNDR a few times and Chops Grille has never been excluded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted April 14, 2019 #8 Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) Chops is included on Oasis, and to my surprise on this last Oasis cruise....so was 150. And they were cheaper than Chops. Edited April 14, 2019 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted April 14, 2019 #9 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Each time I've done BOGO on anthem I have been assigned Chops and Jamies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean they assign which restaurants you get to go to? Are you then able to change it? I'm afraid to book the BOGO for our cruise next month on the Allure if I can't choose Chops and Tepanyaki, or even 2 times at Chops. I don't like any of the others.

Hibachi (Teppanyaki) has always been excluded from the BOGO. You could dine twice at Chops. Some shops will assign your first night only but you are free to change that based on availability once you are on-board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siempredescalzo Posted April 16, 2019 #12 Share Posted April 16, 2019 The one ship I have consistently seen reports of Chopped being excluded on is Allure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor05 Posted April 16, 2019 #13 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Thanks. I think I'll just stick to the MDR this time around. I wasn't really impressed with the quality of Chops last year on the Anthem anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the premise, but mine on Symphony was not assigned. Simply went to Chop's as we boarded and made the reserves for Chop's and Hooked Seafood for the 4th night.

Yellowlily Posted April 17, 2019 #15 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Was just on the Allure and we went to Chops (had the BOGO). So, it was not excluded to answer your question. I have to say that it was our least favorite amongst the speciality dining that we tried this time. The main reason being service and food was just ok. We usually love Chops. I have to say if you go, I do highly recommend the filet - because the filet was the highlight. Off topic, but I have to mention that 150 Park was absolutely amazing, one of the best speciality dining experiences I've had on any cruise ship.
