Don9992 Posted December 24, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 24, 2022 I pulled up the Princess site today and took a look at Dining Options for our January21 cruise on the Discovery. I could swear the last time I looked the balcony breakfast cost $45 and dinner was $100. Today they were $50 and $110, respectively. I hadn't heard about a price increases.

isosika Posted December 24, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 24, 2022 I think everything went up, including the price of Princess Plus and Premier packages and the cost of specialty dining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the old price last week. They’ve been doing price changes since Dec 14th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more so compared to NCL and MSC, whose steakhouses are a la carte. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sunviking90 Posted December 25, 2022 #7 Share Posted December 25, 2022 (edited) Thanks for the heads up. I was able to go into my app just now and book a night for our mid Jan cruise at the old prices. Edited December 25, 2022 by sunviking90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book a suite at twice the price of a balcony cabin to save $40 each ! Interesting economics. If you can afford a cruise, $40 for a speciality restaurant should not be a problem. It's not as if it is compulsory to eat there. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably won't pay more for that meal when prices go up. I don't know the quality of food served on the other lines as it has been awhile since I have been on the other lines.

chubbypiggy Posted December 25, 2022 #14 Share Posted December 25, 2022 How close to embarkation date before we will be able to book our specialty dining on the app? I have a cruise in April, and just went to the app, chose Dine my way, chose Explore Dining options, and it said "Please check back closer to your journey date to use this feature". Or did I went to the wrong place on the app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ombud Posted December 26, 2022 #18 Share Posted December 26, 2022 (edited) Well isn't this nice!! When I booked my Australia cruise for September 2020 & pay it off, I just rolled it forward. Then I was on Majestic Princess and was changed (redeployment) 3×. Also holding the same price & perks. Wonder what my $29 Specialty Dining Perk will be worth in April 2024 😅🤣😂 Edited December 26, 2022 by Ombud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Wildcat Posted December 26, 2022 #19 Share Posted December 26, 2022 On board Emerald now. Food portions have been made smaller, but one can order multiple items with no upcharge. Very short of staff with organizational issues in dining and tendering. Long lines to get seated and dinner ofter 2+ hours with slow service. Terrible planning on tendering. Hundreds in line and hours to disembark. Very chaotic. Specialty dining so far disappointing. Happy to pay a few more dollars, but sadly received cold or poor food in both Crown and Sabatinis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
