RazorbackIslandGirl Posted January 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Has anyone done the Mystery Dinner Theater? I am sailing Jan 18 on the Serenade & purchased it. In reading the info it says it takes place in Portofino's??? Does anyone know if it is elsewhere? I have already paid so I am confused!:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NorbertsNiece Posted January 11, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) It's a fun evening and the event takes over Portofino for the night. It's a much smaller menu choice but delicious nevertheless. I've been to one and the event started off in a lounge with champagne and the beginning of the story. We then head to the restaurant for the meal and the rest of the story unfolded. We got a chance to question the suspects. I enjoyed it very much. ETA Here's the menu from FOS last year Edited January 11, 2014 by NorbertsNiece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneputt18 Posted January 11, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 11, 2014 We did MM on the Navigator, it started out in the Viking Crown Lounge with Hors duerves and champagne. We then went down to Portofino and the play continued as we ate dinner, it included appetizer, entree, desert and all the red or white house wine you could drink. It is a real ham and egg performance but we had a lot of fun. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RazorbackIslandGirl Posted January 11, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Thank you for the reply! it sounds like so much fun & I am really looking forward to it! Where my confusion comes from is there is no longer Portofino's on the Serenade! I hope they have chosen another restaurant to do it in! I have not received anything from RCCL with an update. I am hoping someone else out there has done this since the dry dock upgrades! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny DI Posted January 11, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Cheesy, but so much fun. We'd do it again. Food was excellent!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excited1stcruise Posted January 11, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 11, 2014 We did the mystery dinner on our last cruise on the Indy and it was held in the Viking and then down to Giovonni's table. We had the best of times plus the food was delicious! I highly recommend the mystery dinner and can not wait to do it again on another ship.

RazorbackIslandGirl Posted January 11, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Thank you everyone! Now I'm really looking forward to it!! I love Giovanni's. I was hoping that would be the new option. It sounds like a blast! I'll let you know when I get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUIS4ME Posted January 11, 2014 #12 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Do they have it on the Jewel? I'll have to check I guess. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorbackIslandGirl Posted January 12, 2014 Author #13 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Do they have it on the Jewel? I'll have to check I guess. Thanks I'm not sure. This is the first time I've ever noticed it. But it doesn't sound like a new thing! I have no idea which ships or class of ships have it. I've been on at least one ship in each class & am just now noticing it. I tend to stay in my ruts. I want to try everything at least once!

It is cheesy and silly but so much fun. At the end you have to guess the killer and they put all the correct answers into a raffle for a pretty nice basket of goodies.

We are hoping to be able to participate on our Explorer cruise but reservations haven't opened up. Maybe you can call your TA or Royal to see if they offering it on your cruise and then book that way. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDL Posted January 12, 2014 #20 Share Posted January 12, 2014 We did it several years ago and it was a lot of fun. On our Serenade cruise in a couple of weeks its listed on the first night and we really don't want to do it the first night on board so we've decided not to.

We ate in Giovanni's on Oasis and the food was really fabulous. I think you'll love both the Mystery Dinner as well as the food! We'll be getting on Serenade as you get off! Have a great cruise!
