jerray07 Posted February 12, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I booked my cruise last night and my very first order of business was finding a place on the Chef's Table! I have nearly always read on here that you booked the Chef's Table in advance by visiting JH's blog (which I did first) but then I began reading from people who waited up to 20 weeks and still had not had a confirmed booking. Some people suggested that it was faster to email the steakhouse, but I did not have this option because I am sailing on the Ecstasy and there is no steakhouse. So here's a tip for you Fantasy class ship-goers. I emailed the Maitre'D about my request and within only a few HOURS I got this reply: "Booking Confirmed: Dear Mrs. B____ Thank you for booking the Chef’s Table. Your reservation request for 2 Guests is confirmed. Should your plans change, please keep us advised at ecmaitred@carnival.com We look forward to serving you! Best Regards (...)" Just thought I would share! I don't know if this is widely known or not but I haven't seen it yet. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MochaZen Posted February 12, 2012 #5 Share Posted February 12, 2012 how did you find the email address for the matre'd? I would like to email the matre'd on the Pride for our cruise. We are traveling on the Pride in April and I was successful in getting a Chef's Table reservation by emailing the steakhouse. The address is prsteakhouse@carnival.com. I hope that this is helpful.

Ti2m Posted February 12, 2012 #6 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I had the same problem contacting John about the Chef's Table on the Conquest. So after asking CC I sent the email below to cqsteakhouse at carnival com. I got a reply in 24 hours. This is the info they need. I would like to make reservations for 2 for the Chef's Table.

mondello Posted February 12, 2012 #7 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Ditto for the Liberty! You need to know the 2-letter code for each ship to get the correct email, seems its the first 2 letters although I'm not sure (ec, pr, etc.). There it is in the post above, I type slow.

nybumpkin Posted February 12, 2012 #8 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I suspect that for ships without steakhouses, you need the ship code and "maitred" in the first half of the e-mail address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerray07 Posted February 12, 2012 Author #9 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I suspect that for ships without steakhouses, you need the ship code and "maitred" in the first half of the e-mail address. Correct. If you are sailing Fantasy class, you'll have to email the Maitre'D, not the steakhouse. Use the email _ _ maitred@carnival.com. The two blanks will house your ships code, usually the first two letters of the ship's name. Ex. ECmaitred@carnival.com.. (EC for the Ecstasty). The only exception I believe is for Fascination and Fantasy and I can't recall which is which at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerray07 Posted February 12, 2012 Author #10 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Same for the Destiny..I really wanna do the Chef's Table as a surprise for my honey! It should be demaitred@carnival.com. SIDE NOTE: Be sure to get to your cabin before they do and snatch up the invitation in your stateroom before your honey sees it!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This post was intended for people who are sailing on Fantasy class ships because they do not have steakhouses, therefore no steakhouse email. But thank you for the Code list. It is the same for emailing the Maitre'D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought I would share! I don't know if this is widely known or not but I haven't seen it yet. :D i never understood why anyone went through anyone to get their reservations. a lot easier to directly contact the correct people yourself, and it's a lot faster, and even accurate.

kroozn Posted February 12, 2012 #13 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I still havn't heard back from John.

misstopgun Posted February 12, 2012 #17 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I am fond of John but three times could not get a response for the Chef's table from him. I secured all three reservations emailing the steakhouse. Nothing against John, just like to get all my ducks lined up without worry and waiting.

kroozn Posted February 12, 2012 #18 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I tried masteadkhouse@carnival.com and it came back immediately saying failure notice MAILER-DAEMON. Maybe ma is not the code for the magic. Does anyone know for sure? Thanks, Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroozn Posted February 12, 2012 #19 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I called Carnival and the code for the Magic is mc. So the email address is mcsteakhouse@carnival.com. I will try that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
