Diamond + Bogo @ specialty restaurants

[ckrobyn]

I have heard recently that a bogo coupon is now in the D+ C&A coupon booklet onboard - is this coupon good for dinner in the specialty restaurants on the first night only? I am looking to reserve Chops on the FOS in November and thought I should find out first :rolleyes:

[Sugar*Magnolia]

I wonder if it will also be in the diamond coupon booklet. Altho we do like to meet our waiter the first night if in fact the coupon is for the first night. Id definitely be interested in what others know too.

[Coralc]

Yes. It's for the first night only. :)

I have heard there are 2 different coupon books now for D and D+? Hopefully someone who has sailed recently can clarify? :rolleyes:

And it is for Diamond Plus only, one of many enhancements to that program announced June 1.

We're just diamond,but as diamond + I don't know if we would.enjoy that benefit because we like meeting the wait staff the first night. Are we "old fashioned"?

No - not at all!

In fact if the bogo coupon is only for the first night, then I am going to skip it because I love going to the MDR on the first night too! :)

Yes, D and D+ now have different books. I'm D, my BF is D+. We sailed on Grandeur earlier this month, had the brand new books and they were different.

Thank you Patti - this is what I thought I had read somewhere, and now you have confirmed it.

It is very tempting....but I love the menu on the first night:p.

I would certainly be tempted to use it, but there is something to meeting your waiters on the first night of the cruise.

Totally agree and it's not just the waiters it's also your fellow table mates.

....who will still be there the second night. ;)

It is wonderful as we now do anytime dining so that first night meeting with waitstaff is gone!

Thanks for posting this.

We wanted to dine with my sister and husband who are platnum.

Do I undertand this correctly? It says only one person need to be D+. So if my husband and I each get a D+ coupon could we each take a guest. So paying for 2 guests instead of 4?

Yes. We had the D+ booklets last week on the Freedom and the coupon was the first one in the book.

Plus for those of us that use MTD, it doesn't matter if we don't go the first night. :)

I assume reservations must be slow the first night since you will have to wait to get the coupon books in your cabins after 1PM.

On the Freedom last week, there were openings every night in both Chops and Portofino.

Yes, that is correct, you can do that.

 

Enjoy!

We were on the Freedom in July and we did use our BOGO coupon for Chops. We booked one person online and used the coupon when we arrived. VERY few people in Chops the first nite. Had a great time and we will do this again for sure. :)

It would seem to be a win-win for Royal Caribbean.

 

They make the D+ feel special and petted, and fill up the restaurants at times that they tend to be empty.

We'll definitely be using this coupon in the future. We look forward to meeting our main dining room servers on the second night.

[snausman]

We will also be using this coupon. We figure "Why Not"lol
