My point was that your email at 50% off was extremely accurate.  We always book a 3 or 5 night package.  Last cruise on Symphony we had a BOGO, a 3 night and a 5 night.  We have a 14 night Allure cruise in Nov. and they are offering the UDP at $336 pp and calling it 65% off.  

When the UDP sale is over check the price any other time it's the same price never a big % off my point is book it anytime the sales don't matter

It is a fine line that you are not going to win. Your real option is to not buy from them, but then you can’t cruise. The horrors!  😱

Yes I know.... Just suck it up buttercup... That's what my wife says anyway. Lol

Our next 7 night cruise on Allure has Chops at $54.  That would be $379 + 18% = $447.  50% off would be $223. Your price of $199 is greater than 50% off. All depends where you start. 

 

CHOPS GRILLE.      Allure of the seas Oct. 25 2020

 

$54.23 US

 

Don't book it online then every time every cruise I've been on they offer buy one get one free at chops Giovanni's and Izumi when you're at sea so even if you don't book online you're going to get two dinners for $54 or less on board

The onboard price for those restaurants is probably higher, plus UDP includes lunch on sea days. If we say $50 per dinner and $25 for lunch with 3 sea days, that's $350+$75=$425. 55% off of that is $193, pretty close especially since I don't actually know the on board pricing or the number of sea days.

You are correct it does include lunch for 3 sea days that is true the 199 is a very good deal I just get aggravated when they say there's a percentage off and you go there and it's the regular price every day I still do it every time because 199 for the specialty and the lunch is already good deal the emails are just aggravating just send me an email saying get great dining at a fair price and I would be happy I always buy it anyway

A few points to explain what they are actually saying (which I do admit they are very misleading, but they aren't outright lying)

 

1) Ultimate Dining - Twangster covered this well, but again, they are not actually saying you will get 55% off the UDP, but that the Ultimate Dining Package will save you 55% over booking individually and on board. Just like with the drink package discounts, it's based off the "on board" price, which is unknown.

 

2) The Kids Sail Free - Are you sure it was the exact same room type? Usually when you book for 2 people, it will default and show you a room type that's only available for two, so like a 4V Ocean View or something like that. Then you check the prices for two adults and a child. A 4V Ocean View room can't have three people, so instead they quote you the price for a 3V Ocean View. If you could force it to price out two adults in a 3V and 2 adults and a child in a 3V, the child's fare should be free.

1.The on board price for chops is always 35.00 per night we have done the unlimited dining many times. I understand up to 55‰ but there is no discount I can book it any day for 199.00 per person is all I am saying. 

2. Yes your point on the difference in rooms could be the argument on that one agreed.

You missed the fine print.  "Up to".

 

If you ate in the most expensive restaurant every night and paid regular price every night the UDP is 55% off that.

 

Where you expecting 55% off the sale price?  

The regular price for the unlimited dining for a 7 day cruise is 199.00 per person. The link in the email is still 199.00 chops is 35.00 per night that would be 245.00 for 7 days and izumi is 45.00 per night that would be 315.00 for 7 nights. Still don't see 55% off anywhere is my point 

Jakeil7 it's called false advertising. 

So email I received read 55% off unlimited dining package you then go to their site and it's 199.00 that is the normal price. Every email they send almost is a scam. Like kids sail free. We check prices for 2 adults and it is x dollars we then add on a child and the price goes up and not just taxes and gratuity. We are on 71 days at sea in the past 4 years and I am tired of the BS emails.
