One restaurant evening in the city, or 2 nights at the seaside? The cost, compared
A ~€150 dinner at a restaurant in the city lasts five hours and ends on the pavement, with taxis. For a little more, the same money buys 2 nights in Mamaia or Bulgaria. Here is the comparison, in the open.
In short
A banquet evening at a city restaurant costs around €150 per student and lasts four or five hours: a dinner, a few hours of music, then everyone heads home by taxi, at night. For a little more — from €235 per student — the same money buys 2 nights in Mamaia or Bulgaria, with transport, meals, two parties and photo-video. The difference is not the price, it is the memory.
The question comes up at the first committee meeting: do we hold the banquet "here, in the city, simpler", or do we travel for a few days? The argument for the city is usually that it seems cheaper. On paper, it is not.
What ~€150 buys at a restaurant
A single evening. A good dinner, music, photos taken by a classmate. By 1 a.m. the year group scatters across the city, and parents sit with the phone in hand until everyone is home. The next day there is nothing left to tell beyond a few pictures.
What ~€235 buys at the seaside or in Bulgaria
Three days together, not one evening. Here is the comparison, service by service:
| What's included | One restaurant evening (~€150) | 2 nights seaside / Bulgaria (from €235) |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | one evening, 4–5 hours | 3 days, 2 nights |
| Accommodation | — | included, twin rooms |
| Transport | on your own, at night | licensed coach, return |
| Meals | one dinner | breakfast + dinner, up to 2 a day |
| Parties | one | 2 themed nights: White Party + Gala |
| Photo-video | — | professional + photo booth |
| Supervision | the parents | 2 ROJU agents, around the clock |
The real difference: about €85
That is all. For the gap between a city dinner and a seaside stay, the year group gets two nights, transport, meals, two parties and the photos they will laugh at in ten years. Bulgaria is often even cheaper than the Romanian coast at the same hotel category, and the coach ride is short.
