serene56 Posted April 25, 2005 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2005 It took me 6 cruises to talk the SO into trying a supper club. For 50 bucks it ws more then worth it.

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./ here is the menu- STARTERS TRIO OF ESCARGOTS Baked in Brioche, wrapped iin rice paper and classic Bourguignone BEEF CARPACCIO Sliced raw beef tenderloins with shaved parmesan cheese marinated Mache Lettuce SHUSHI PLATTER Ahi Tune, Salmon, Shrim and Unagi with Pickled ginger and Wasabi ICED RUSSIAN CAVIAR 1oz of Suvruga Cavier with tradional condiments and buckwheat blinis an Extra $29.00 charge will apply SHRIMP COCKTAIL Colossal black tiger prawns with american cockatail sauce NEW ENGLAND CRAB CAKE on Roasted pepper Remoulade LOBSTER BISQUE WITH VINTAGE COGNAC Fleuron & Fresh cream BAKED ONION SOUP "LES HALLES" a parisian Classic SALADS CLASSIC CAESAR SALAD Hearts of Romaine Lettuce, traditionally prepared BABY LEAF SPINACH AND FRESH MUSHROOMS with blue cheese , warm bacon dressing TOSSED GARDEN SALAD Greens, radicchio, tomato wedges, Purple onion rings and watercress Choice of House, Ranch, or bleu cheese dressing SIDE DISHES Baked Potato with trimmings Sauteed medley of fresh mushroomsYukon old mash with Wasabi Harseradish Spaghetti with fresh tomoato sauce Grilled fresh vegetables in season Creamed Spinach with garlic ENTREES BROILED NEW YORK STRIP LOIN STEAK 14oz of the favorite cut for steak connoisseurs CLASSIC PORTER HOUSE STEAK 24oz of the best from both worlds BROILED FILET MIGNON 9ox for the true Gourmet CHILEAN SEA BASS Lobster Nage-braised sea bass over young spinac and mango salad BROILED LOBSTER TAIL served with drawn butter BROILED SUPREME OF FREE RANGE CHICKEN with blackberry port wine reduction GRILLED LAMB CHOPS double cut lamb chops served on five-bean cassoulet and rosemary jus BROILED PROVIMI VEAL CHOP center cut from the highest greade milk fed veal SAUCES AVAILABLE three-peppercorn sauce wild mushroom sauce sauce bearnaise. 2.

dsclark Posted April 25, 2005 #6 Share Posted April 25, 2005 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan845 Posted April 25, 2005 Author #7 Share Posted April 25, 2005 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseFever Posted April 25, 2005 #8 Share Posted April 25, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoinCruisin Posted April 25, 2005 #9 Share Posted April 25, 2005 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? You wait until you are onboard, but do it quick... they fill up quickly.

serene56 Posted April 25, 2005 #10 Share Posted April 25, 2005 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? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Turtle Posted April 26, 2005 #11 Share Posted April 26, 2005 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWolver672 Posted April 26, 2005 #12 Share Posted April 26, 2005 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 Posted April 26, 2005 #13 Share Posted April 26, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted April 26, 2005 #14 Share Posted April 26, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWolver672 Posted April 26, 2005 #15 Share Posted April 26, 2005 On the Conquest Class ships, there is no glass staircases in the atrium. The staircase is in the first area of the buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWolver672 Posted April 27, 2005 #17 Share Posted April 27, 2005 On the Conquest class ships does the supper club have a dance floor to dance with your special someone between courses? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappuchino Posted April 27, 2005 #19 Share Posted April 27, 2005 The chef in the SC will also prepare a veggie dish if you are not a meat eater. It was delicious by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
