DerekB Posted October 13 #1 Share Posted October 13 I am nearly certain this is a mistake, however it's a rather interesting mistake. On my upcoming cruise (in 10 days), one floor of the main dining room is showing a $48.99 upcharge. I can't imagine how this error happened, unless perhaps they are toying with the idea of charging for the main dining room and somehow it got into the wild. Anyone heard anything about this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhraformula00 Posted October 13 #2 Share Posted October 13 Looks like some kind of glitch. Highly doubt they are going to charge for main dinning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rackham Posted October 13 #6 Share Posted October 13 Seeing some of the other dinning charges in the app, most likely what's going on is there's an upcharge event happening in MDR 4. My guess would be the Sip, Tour, Brunch offering. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare perfect match Posted October 13 #7 Share Posted October 13 Let’s not keep giving RCI any more ideas of what we think they might start charging us for! 😱 They’ve got enough ideas of their own already! 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mum2Mercury Posted October 13 #9 Share Posted October 13 I saw that for my upcoming cruise, but -- at the same time -- I have reservations marked $0.00 ... it's a glitch. I see no evidence they're moving towards charging for the MDR. Just the usual fear-mongering. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarlK Posted October 13 #11 Share Posted October 13 Odd way to go since more and more are not using the MDR anymore. I know we didn't use it all on our last cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumshoe958 Posted October 13 #13 Share Posted October 13 Several cruise lines including Virgin, NCL, Cunard and P&O do for-fee dinner shows. So far Royal has only really dipped its toe in the water with Mystery Dinner Theater and Utopia’s Royal Railway, but I could see them going more in that direction.

shipgeeks Posted October 13 #14 Share Posted October 13 Every once in a while a first timer will post that they are only going to eat in the buffet, because their booking says "add your dining packages to your cart". Then others will ask if they have to pay for the buffet, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to a show by myself and thought I'd sit in the balcony -- once I arrived, I realized that's reserved for The Key. Since it was all but empty, I decided to stay, and no one checked /noticed /cared. 40 minutes ago, gumshoe958 said: Several cruise lines including Virgin, NCL, Cunard and P&O do for-fee dinner shows.

That's really unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisegirl1 Posted October 13 #17 Share Posted October 13 Of course it is a mistake. Do you really think they are charging for MDR dinner , and in only one dining room level? Your post title does nothing but create panic and worry. You even write in the first few words that it is likely a mistake. M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njkruzer Posted October 13 #18 Share Posted October 13 It shows on the app for our upcoming, 11/10, cruise on the Voyager. When you click on menu on deck 4 the regular menu appears and no charges. My guess is that it's an IT mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Researcher Posted October 13 #22 Share Posted October 13 No way Royal would do this. Would immediately put them at a significant competitive disadvantage to other cruise lines. I can't see any cruise line ever charging extra for the buffet or MDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSails1968 Posted October 13 #23 Share Posted October 13 Also showing up on next Sunday’s Freedom cruise. The price and description is different. Cuisine says global instead of continental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
