bryanjaync Posted February 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2018 From what I have read Diamond (and higher) cruisers get a BOGO free offer (usually) for the first night at one of the speciality restaurants. We will be on the Rhapsody out of Tampa in April. The restaurants are Chops, the Italian place, and Izumi (Japanese). Since Izumi is a la carte pricing, can we use the BOGO there, and how would that work. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asilde Posted February 23, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 23, 2018 It's a diamond plus perk, not diamond. Don't know how it works for Izumi either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arzeena Posted February 23, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 23, 2018 It's a diamond plus perk, not diamond. Don't know how it works for Izumi either way. True. And it says in the perks letter/list not valid on a la carte restaurants, so Izumi would be out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanjaync Posted February 23, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Thanks. Since it a) does not apply to Diamond level and b) does not apply to Izumi, I guess my questions have been addressed ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellwingri Posted February 23, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 23, 2018 How is this different than first night done right? We’re diamond plus and usually eat in the MDR but decided to try First night done right because we don’t sail until 6:30. Should I cancel and book BOGO?

jchiefs13 Posted February 23, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Drawback: I don't think you can book the BOGO until you get onboard. Not that there is EVER a rush on specialty dining first night, but there is a small chance the place you desire would be booked full. Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobal Posted February 23, 2018 #8 Share Posted February 23, 2018 How is this different than first night done right? We’re diamond plus and usually eat in the MDR but decided to try First night done right because we don’t sail until 6:30. Should I cancel and book BOGO? On the first night it's no different to first night done right - in other words it's no longer a 'perk' as anyone on the ship can have the same thing. The only advantage would be if you wanted to eat in a speciality on the second night, as the D+ BOGO is for nights one and two Drawback: I don't think you can book the BOGO until you get onboard. Not that there is EVER a rush on specialty dining first night, but there is a small chance the place you desire would be booked full.Judy You can book a meal in the restaurant of your choice before you board and they will apply the discount once onboard. Many people book and pay for one (which will inevitably be on a two top) and then present the voucher for the other person once onboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'd check with the people at Izumi after you board, they may have a BOGO process in place on that ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70SS350 Posted February 23, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Does work at Izumi. You are given a $35 credit, anything over that you will be charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'd check with the people at Izumi after you board, they may have a BOGO process in place on that ship. Just off Rhapsody last week...Izumi does not have a BOGO set up. But we did use Giovannis first night (not a great meal and very slow service, even though there were only a small amount of tables being used). Izumi and Chops we used later in the week...both had great service and good food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That interesting and first I have heard of that. Was not in place at Izumi on Rhapsody. Which ship was that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry it is a $30 food credit not $35. Used it both on Anthem and Harmony. The credit is good for any venue with a la carte pricing. Not available for Chefs Table or dinners with wine pairings. It is in the "Terms and Conditions" for the BOGO. I will be using it on Izumi in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-leg5 Posted February 24, 2018 #14 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Does work at Izumi. You are given a $35 credit, anything over that you will be charged. Was certainly not available on Vision. Best offer I could get was 20% off on first night only like everyone else. No extra benefit for Diamond Plus and above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
