Boma price increases - May 2009

[tigergirl]

Just got back from a trip from May 4-11. The prices for dinner at Boma have increased by $2 for adults and $1 for kids, making the new price $28.99 per adult and $14.99 for children. This information is on a placard as you check into the podium.

The breakfast prices also went up, but since I only glanced at the prices quickly, I don't remember the exact numbers. My recollection though is that it is similar - $2 increase per adult and $1 increase per child.

I totally think that is insane and still don't understand the reason for the price increase at the buffets. It just seems very contradicting to me that when business picks up they would have to start charging more?

and then does the 'holiday' upcharge go on top of that? or is that the holiday pricing?

will be interested to hear on this one -- I thought the "holiday surcharge" didn't start until 5/24? That's the date listed on allears.net news

So guess this could be "just" a price increase before the surcharge. And while I never like to see a price increase, truth is Boma absolutely packs in the guests - doubt if the price increase will reduce the popularity at all.

I was just thinking the same thing - Saves me another $8.00

As far as I could tell, this was just a price increase. There was never anything about a holiday surchage posted anywhere, and as one of the previous poster's stated, the surcharge isn't supposed to start until later in the month.

My guess is that this was done fairly recently. The price was posted on a small stand at the podium, but was not listed on the glass-encased menus that are on the wall. Also, I didn't notice anything different on the buffet compared to what was there in the past.

In general, many of the CS places had slightly higher prices than what is listed on allears. Nothing major, but after a while, that $0.50 per meal per person per day would start to add up. Suffice it to say that I was really happy that we had the DDP as well.
