angie1818 Posted September 7, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Has anyone ever been able to reserve before boarding? I can't find any info on how to reserve. On other cruises I have never been able to reserve as they were always full. Me and my BFF are cruising on the Fascination on Oct 30 and I would Like to do this as a birthday surprise for her. Any help would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IslandVicki Posted September 7, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 7, 2014 We are sailing on the Pride in December. In early August, I sent an email to groupeventplanning@carnival.com with our booking number, guest names, ship name, cabin number, and sailing date, and indicated that we would like to make reservations for the Chef's Table. I received a reply email 3 days later confirming our reservation. We are really looking forward to the experience! I hope this info helps you out!

Do they add it to your invoice if final payment hasn't been made. Have you done the Chefs Table? How was it? Again thanks for your help! Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Pami1968 Posted September 7, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I did the request through John Heald's blog. I never got a response, but when I got onboard, it was reserved for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hey Tina Posted September 7, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 7, 2014 We are sailing on the Pride in December. In early August, I sent an email to groupeventplanning@carnival.com with our booking number, guest names, ship name, cabin number, and sailing date, and indicated that we would like to make reservations for the Chef's Table. I received a reply email 3 days later confirming our reservation. We are really looking forward to the experience! I hope this info helps you out! Sent from my iPad using Forums This is what my PVP advised me to do for my Feb 28 sailing (and what I did) and it was successful, although I did receive a response from the Steakhouse Manager stating "Please send me your sail date as it can’t be February 28th,embarkation day is on Sunday so it can be February 22nd or March 1st" which irritated me more than is probably reasonable.

hurricane0226 Posted September 8, 2014 #12 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Does anyone know the price for the Chef's table. I did one on the Miracle in August, but it was free, due to winning a raffle for it. So want to see about doing it on the Liberty in October.

cruiserider444 Posted September 8, 2014 #15 Share Posted September 8, 2014 do they ever do Chef's table on a port day? I am going on a cruise next month and there are only 2 sea days, one for the formal night and then the last night. (5 day cruise). I hope it won't fall on a port day otherwise I will cancel my reservation.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennN Posted September 17, 2014 #19 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Love the Chef's Table. Have reviews below within my review (check the Valor - it has more of a blow by blow but we also did it on the Dream - different experiences each time but both good!)
