Supper Clubs - Glory

[bryan845]

Traveling on Glory on 5/21. Cruised before, but not since the supper clubs have been added. Anyone tried them? Are they worth extra price? Thanx

[serene56]

It took me 6 cruises to talk the SO into trying a supper club. For 50 bucks it ws more then worth it. But if you are gonna be in arush--no. You have to leave at least 2 1/2 hours to enjoy the whole dinner. You can only have one entree/dessert. Some people have said they could get more then one apetizer but I was told no we cant do that. What we had was more then enough. We are going on THe 6 day cruise on the Liberty and now I am trying to decide if I can sqeeze the supper club into our plans./

Derf, the menus were updated in February... the one Serene has posted above is the current one in Nick and Nora's and fleetwide...

[dsclark]

There are few nights toward the second half of the week where the food is less than uh, great. Look up the menus. During these nights, supper club is a good thing to do!

[bryan845]

Thanks for all the information. Sounds like a great deal. Do you make reservations before the cruise, or do you have to wait until on board?

[CruiseFever]

Traveling on Glory on 5/21. Cruised before, but not since the supper clubs have been added. Anyone tried them? Are they worth extra price? Thanx

 

Can't speak specifically for the Glory but for supper clubs on Carnival ships in general we've been really happy with them. I think they're probably one of the things we just do now since trying the one on the Legend.

 

It's a really special and much more intimate setting, perfect for a couple. I don't know if they do it on all the ships but I went early and they let me pick our table. I thought that was cool.

[GoinCruisin]

You wait until you are onboard, but do it quick... they fill up quickly.

You do have to wait til you are onboard. You can call and make reservations or you can see the people in the atrium taking reservations. By going directly to the supper club you can pick your table. We picked the table by the window and it was really dark then. We went at 7:30 on Thursday (before daylight savings time) Other then ship crew we were the only ones dining then. Next time-- I am gonna make it Wednesday.

The Supper Club (SC) has been a highlight of my cruises on Spirit and Glory. Five cruises between these two ships with seven meals in the SC. All my meals were excellent, and the service always top notch. I can’t imagine a CCL cruise without a visit to the SC.

 

Except for my Glory cruise (we were a party of five and let them choose) I chose my table for two on all other SC reservations. Each time I chose a different location by going to the restaurant during their ‘reservation hours’. Once a rep had her meal display on a cart near one of the buffet lines during lunch, and when I looked on her seating chart and couldn’t make my decision as to location (first time with Spirit SC), she left her cart unmanned while she took me upstairs for personal viewing/selection of my table. She was very gracious.

 

Enjoy your cruise!

[RWolver672]

Let me start off by saying that I enjoy a meal more by ordering through a clown's nose than I do fancy dining.

 

I'm not dissing the SCs but they aren't for everyone. We tried it once on our last cruise and didn't find it that much different than dining in the dining rooms.

Actually we were more relaxed in the dining room. I would prefer to have my meal delivered, then let me eat it. It seemed like every time we put food in our mouths the girl that served us (she had a fancy title but I don't remember what it was) was asking if we enjoyed our meal or if we needed anything. I would enjoy it more if I could eat it in peace and the only thing we needed was to be left alone.

 

We felt very much "out of our league" when they delivered concoctions that the chef had made that were on bent spoons. We had no idea of what it was or how to eat it. Another thing that we found odd was that to enter the Supper Club, you had to walk across the Lido Deck, then go into the buffet area to get to the staircase that leads to it. Needless to say, everybody that you pass by in swimsuits wonders why you are parading around in dress clothes.

 

Many people really enjoy the SCs and wouldn't miss them. It is worth trying just to see what it's like but once was enough for us. We had a combination New York Strip/Lobster and found that it didn't taste any better than what we were served in the dining room. The only way you'll know for sure if you like it or not is to try it and see for yourself. You may have a wonderful time and want to go back a second time.

[Maryandi]

We went to 2 supper clubs - 1 on HAL Oosterd am and 1 on Glory. We prefer the Glory, it was far superior.

 

There was so much food and very, very good.

 

Had to laugh at the above poster, there is an elevator to get to the restaurant (had to find it in the afternoon) but most people 'had to strut their stuff' thru the Lido - then find the elevator on the way out. :)

 

Enjoy , MaryAnn

[serene56]

WOW--Dick- Ims orry your experience was not good. I am soo very happy that our waitress didnt bother with us between courses....maybe she was hitting on you ... Now I am wondering if the waitress is supposed to bother you inbetween courses.. since we had the captain and his crew it seemed they were constantly bothering that table with little stupid things like the right knife... etc..etc..lol

 

We didnt take the glass stair case up--that would have freaked me out. We did take the Atrium elevators up to the 10th deck.

[RWolver672]

On the Conquest Class ships, there is no glass staircases in the atrium. The staircase is in the first area of the buffet.

[bbiggar]

On the Conquest class ships does the supper club have a dance floor to dance with your special someone between courses?

[RWolver672]

I don't remember seeing one but it was quite dark in there and there could have been one. I also don't remember hearing any music either. There really isn't much waiting time between courses.

On the Miracle I asked Derfette to dance between courses. We were the only ones dancing at first but another couple joined us.

[cappuchino]

The chef in the SC will also prepare a veggie dish if you are not a meat eater. It was delicious by the way.
