50% off speciality dining while on ship still exists?

However if you ask they will adjust it when you dine. Be firm about it as most people don't know to ask so the waiters may have never had to do it before. We've done that multiple times as we have a Zenith discount and don't want to miss out on that. Ridiculous that the systems can't be programmed to automatically apply it.  That is, they could be but they don't bother.

I agree it is ridiculous but I had no success with the Retreat Concierges, 2 different MDs and Guest Relations.  Different ships but adamant the discount only applies to booking made once on board.

We were on a cruise in Nov.  There  was someone else that was also on that cruise and posted a live blog.  She wrote that she booked  got 50% off of a few specialty dinners when on board, and that they are giving away food.  Prior to the cruise I always checked for discounts on the dining.   Never seen 50% off. I think 5%was max and I can get more with my CC perks

 

There was a person always standing at a podium to book those dinners.   I keep asking if there were any discounts.   He said no.   I told and showed him the blog.  He said it never happened and there  were never any discounts like that for a long time.  
 

Sometimes people write stuff that they want to believe or to glamorize to make others think they are special.  Or they are just confused  and don’t know what they really got.  
 

The short answer. NO large discounts.  At most is the first night that I have seen to be 30% on the S, and M class.  On the E class the best amount is what you get from the CC perks.

 

Happy crusing 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

              This is so true and bothers me so much.  When people ask certain questions, I wish others would stick to the facts. Yes, sometimes someone is asking for opinions, but sometimes they just want an unbiased answer.
