Re: Mandatory Meal Plans- Can you get away from them? (by Darcy D.):
I agree with you. I find the meal plans are extremely over-priced, and why should certain weeks of the year cost even more , the food and drinks don't change just because it's a high season week. When I compare the cost of my meal plan, airfare, maintenance fee, and exchange fee, I usually haven't saved anything over going on a pre-packaged holiday. If I travel in low season I usually would end up paying even more than a last minute special. Do owners at these all-inclusive resorts get any breaks on the meal plan?
