Wine Tasting/Cooking Demo activities?

[pal2pluto]

It's been a few years since we've cruised…..and it's been a few different cruise lines. But two of activities I really enjoyed was a wine tasting and a cooking demo. At the wine tasting, I think there was a nominal fee, but we got to try about 6 different wines and learn about them. At the cooking demo, we watched, then sampled, and got a fabulous recipe for Salmon w/Mango Salsa. Do they still do those???? Or is that passe now?

In February on the Freedom of the Seas I went to the Taste of Tuscany tour. There was lunch, a pasta making demonstration, and a kitchen tour. I loved it and want to do it again.

They still do wine tasting, though the cost might be higher than it used to be. They now have a "Lafite Wine Tasting Experience" which runs around $20 per person. I believe this can be booked in advance using the Pre-cruise Planner on Royal's website.

On my past two cruises on Enchantment they have had cooking demonstrations in the centrum. I know one of them was salmon.

I was just on the Allure and there were several wine tastings throughout the cruise, almost if not certainly at least once a day, at Vintages in Central Park. There was a fee associated, but I did not inquire about the details and the price was not published in the Compass.

 

We were looking forward to some cooking demonstrations but didn't notice any on the Compass.
