To me it seems perfectly reasonable to show the final price per person right from the start. Why would they ever want to show a price higher than I would actually pay? If I have a product on sale for $10 I'm not going to put a price tag on it for $15 just so you can watch me discount it at the register. That wouldn't be very smart.
however if your are having a bogoho sale you dont put a price tag $7.50 on it do you? no you put the $10 and the second one is $5.

I knew it was posted somewhere...I just had to find it. You'll see Princess, Celebrity, RCI and HAL all spend about the same for meals. Of course, we all still have our own opinions, but this does show that generally, the food is the same between these lines.
According to this post by Philip217 who works for an (undisclosed) cruiseline, this is the daily per person food costs spent by the individual cruise lines...
Seabourn, Silver Sea - $24 - 26 per day
Oceania, Regent - $18 - 20 per day
Celebrity, Princess - $12 - 15 per day
RCCL, HAL - $12 - 13 per day
Carnival - $8 - 10 per day
NCL - $7.50 - 8.50 per day

please tell me

Wait. What? Blu no longer serves breakfast a sit down breakfast menu.
I have my doubts this is going to work...I like crispy bacon with my french toast at the cafe/buffet, and usually more than 2 slices...do I need to grab 2 dishes of eggs to get 4 pieces of bacon? Who is going to eat the eggs and sausage I don't want?
sounds like portion control and cost cutting to me.

On Celebrity, they will turn you away from the MDR. :cool:
as well they should

well i think many buy into the standard excuses for cheaper mass produced food. you will find on royal they have the same menu on many ships to cut costs its all packaged stuff. meanwhile they make millions in profits every quarter. so please spare me the cost hasnt kept up because 2-3 thousand dollars a cabin is plenty to get better quality food in.

Nope. I've been on 2 Princess cruises this year and I'd say it's exactly the same. That goes for both the MDR and specialty restaurants. The only area I might give Princess an edge on taste and variety is the buffet. It's amazing what they can pack into the small serving area in Horizon Court. I think RCI's Windjammer islands design is more user friendly though.
well this is a disappointment, i am looking for the 20 years ago cruise experience, or at least 10 years ago. quality wise.

is it a notch above? iv heard good things.

i have heard the food is better as well as more refined customer base.

The British didn't fight the 100 years war.:rolleyes:
How long do you recon it lasted ?

I think it's a bit deceptive and very confusing to anyone going through the process for the first time.
When you see that per person charge, you expect the 2nd person to be half of that. You don't assume that first charge is the averaged amount of two people.
I doubt anyone thought it was an average the first time through.
its truly deceptive because they show you first a price of one person. IF it was both together then ok , however they show just the one person price and this is wrong to do.
-
it is deceptive to say the least, one would think its the price shown plus the discount off the second person, however what they show is already factored in.
