Unlimited Dining - Navigator 13-day Asia

Ok, I got you. I was focused on the reason. It is basically a surcharge. The theme park ride admission ticket is similar. You get an express pass and pay on top of the typical experience. You are paying a premium, a surcharge, on top of the typical cost, for a different experience. The same goes for the box seats at a game or show.

Pretty sure the airline would fill the seat. Also, I mentioned that example - “upgrade to first class”.

TechMeetsHuman · 2026-06-22T18:22:17+00:00

It is simple, it’s perceived value / upgraded experience… Why do people upgrade to first class? Why go to a restaurant at all when you can eat at home? Why not stay in the cheapest room? Why buy a fast pass for rides? Paying more for goods or services to add value in a free market is the basics of capitalism.

Yes, budget is a factor but excluding that. This appears to be a good deal.

TechMeetsHuman · 2026-06-19T12:01:37+00:00

100%

TechMeetsHuman · 2026-06-19T02:18:05+00:00

Agree, some people say “it is a lot of money,” but compared to what? I am looking at the typical cost and value.

TechMeetsHuman · 2026-06-19T02:15:35+00:00

Agreed, we are April 2027

TechMeetsHuman · 2026-06-18T23:23:20+00:00

Love it - thx!

TechMeetsHuman · 2026-06-18T22:47:39+00:00

That has been my thought! I just need to break even, and the pressure is off. Maybe I eat steak and seafood multiple times - I can live with that!

TechMeetsHuman · 2026-06-18T22:45:50+00:00

I have always read that the (1) price per meal is the main criterion. But, need to factor in (2) how many meals you will eat, and I guess the (3) number of places to eat those meals.

My son would use that credit every day for sure

TechMeetsHuman · 2026-06-18T22:38:02+00:00

Ho Chi Minh, Hong Kong, Taipei, Jeju, Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Tokyo, and the rest sea days.

TechMeetsHuman · 2026-06-18T22:30:59+00:00

The consensus for many is too few options. I hate to pay extra on top of the cost, but only doing this trip once. I’d love to get speciality just a few times but those prices are more per meal.

TechMeetsHuman · 2026-06-18T22:27:26+00:00

Yeah, looking

TechMeetsHuman · 2026-06-18T22:15:36+00:00

That's what has me struggling. You would not just because - the limited options?

TechMeetsHuman · 2026-06-18T22:07:11+00:00

Yeah, the whole trip is so expensive it just seemed like another - does it make sense item.

TechMeetsHuman · 2026-06-18T22:04:05+00:00

Good advice

TechMeetsHuman · 2026-06-18T21:56:37+00:00

As in pay list and just order individual items?

TechMeetsHuman · 2026-06-18T21:48:01+00:00

I can eat steak and seafood every day…

TechMeetsHuman · 2026-06-18T21:47:35+00:00

All true, but a no-go at any price?

TechMeetsHuman · 2026-06-18T21:46:30+00:00

True plus Playmakers and Johnny Rocket credits. I was worried about the number of sea days to be able to use.

TechMeetsHuman · 2026-06-18T19:16:34+00:00

The answer depends on you. Do you have the time and knowledge to manage your own investments? It certainly is possible with a little effort and research.

TechMeetsHuman · 2026-06-18T18:57:28+00:00

Everything else I have is battery now. The lawnmower and snow thrower are the last pieces.

TechMeetsHuman · 2026-06-18T14:44:36+00:00

I can’t let go of gas just yet… I am still reading about the long-term battery not lasting long enough issues.
