Hmm the diamond plus BOGO is gone?

[maria1122]

We were on the Anthem 3 weeks ago and being diamond plus I used the BOGO.  I just went to book it for July cruise and it is no longer there.    They are now offering Chops + 1.  Will it still be the first and second night or choice of where or when for the +1.  Also can it be booked on board?  Thanks

It has never been on the planner as a separate D+ BOGO that I have seen.

They have had a FNDR sometimes.

Or the 3n meal deal.

Or this new Chops + 1 

Or the new Ultimate dining.

I have never seen the D+ BOGO available on the cruise planner.  I book for one person and pay in advance.  then I go to the restaurant when we board and tell them we are D+ and there will be 2 of us.  We did that on a cruise we just got off. [Grandeur]

The D+ bogo is a coupon that is loaded in your sea pass. It sis not in the crusie planner and the coupons are to be used on day 1 or 2.

 

The present Chops + 1, replaced the 2 night bogo package and is price much higher.  For example, the old bogo was priced at $49.99 pp for my Anthem Aug. 29 cruise.  Now it's priced at $75 pp.  To me it's not worthwhile and I',, utilize the D+ coupon.

You all are so right.  I totally forgot that it is a coupon.  I’ll book on board as I always do.  Thank you all.

Has anyone had luck being able to use the Diamond Plus BOGO coupon on a later night?  I'm traveling with a group and we all purchased the online BOGO (before it disappeared!) so that will cover the first two nights.

 

Thanks!

Give it a try, all they can say is no. I've seen them bend the rules from time to time.

Yes we have used the D+ BOGO on day 3 and 4.

We've done it a couple of times but on our 1st Harmony cruise it was game over. The hostess unpleasantly said, "We don't do that here." End of story.

We tried that on Rhapsody this last time.  I ran into quite a bit of resistance with the staff, so now I am back to just booking when we board.  Might have been a fluke...and may have to try it again on another ship.

Interesting.  I hope this does not become the norm.  Thanks for the info.

WE have done it, but like we all know it varies from ship to ship. 

[marci22]

The Chops + 1 is $75 and the 3 night package is $89 on my cruise planner. I don't think Chops + 1 will survive.

Glad to see you did not use any halos, or else you know who you would have to pay for those? 😇

I have also had problems with doing that lately.  It used to work great but now not so much.  Seems to throw them for a loop for some reason

On RCL, this is the only norm that you're likely to encounter.

[JoeFan]

I was bummed to see the BOGO on my planner be replaced by Chops +1.

I hope it comes back.

3 Night isn't bad. But BOGO is better.
