3 night dining package Izumu Hibachi surcharge

[slyster]

I have a 3 night dining package reserved for August cruise.  I saw the following terms under it.

 

• For ships with these venues, Teppanyaki/Izumi Hibachi is included, with a $15 surcharge, and Chef's Table is included, with a $49.99 surcharge. These will be charged once onboard.

 

I noticed that in the app, Izumi Hibachi costs $50.99, but 150 Central Park costs $54.99.  Chops is also $54.99.

 

Why is there a $15 surcharge?  It seems to be cheaper than the other restaurants.

It’s a way to control capacity from unlimited dining as seating in most of the Hibachis is very limited.

I think the $15 surcharge is only in the event that you want the upgraded menu. That's how it was in November anyway.

I would 2nd the very limited seating!

Oh interesting.  I never thought of the limited capacity.  I guess that should be the first place we go when we board to make a reservation.

We went to Hibachi first and they made all our reservations for all 3 dinners.  There was no one else in line, we just walked in and 10 minutes later were all set.
