troykahack Posted February 4, 2017 #51 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Thanks again for posting these. Enjoy your last day on board tomorrow. Added: Is this the second formal night? Sent from a mobile device Yes, second formal night but CK is less than 25% formal. I will tell you that tonight's meal was the best food we have had on any cruise ship, in the CK. They do the Lobster much different and the Scallops were to die for. They serve the Royal Shrimp Cocktail with YUM YUM sauce but will bring or make you Cocktail Sauce your way. So far, we are very happy with the CK. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Just looking at that menu I would be going nuts. Apps: Salmon Sashimi and Stew Entrées: Scallops, Lobster, and Lamb. Guess that is the mixed blessing of having a diffrent menu every night. Off hand, given lunch a try yet? Sent from a mobile device Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were off the ship in Ports during lunch and had the Tutti Salad Bar American ICON on sea days. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troykahack Posted February 4, 2017 #55 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Allure, CK Day 7. We sure are going to miss the CK. We have Harmony booked for April 2018. Rest of our ships, no CK. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Thanks again for posting the menus. Glad to hear you enjoyed CK. Also like the idea of having a diffrent menu every night. However, it does make going to a specialty restaurant a hard choice. If anyone was wondering, this was the Friday and Saturday menu on Oasis. I'll be sure to post the CK menus from Harmony when I go in May. Sent from a mobile device Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troykahack Posted February 5, 2017 #57 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Thanks. The CK is such a awesome and relaxing experience. Wish all ships had CK and SL. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted February 5, 2017 #58 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Upon boarding and after lunch we meet with the concierge to set up our dinner times at CK. We usually book 3 nights around the days of late excursions. In the event we cancel one we do so early so others on a waiting list can be seated. Never had a trouble eating at the time we wanted. Safe travels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireStation46 Posted February 5, 2017 #59 Share Posted February 5, 2017 My memory is in need of an upgrade. CK for suite guests and high category RCI cruises, correct? Informal for breakfast and lunch? Business attire or formal for evening dinners? We have booked alternative dinner venues fir a few nights just for variety's sake but CK is nice and close off our suite on Oasis it woukd be nice to be in a smaller venue than MDR Thanks!

Kokomo91165 Posted February 13, 2017 #62 Share Posted February 13, 2017 In the evenings, can we invite a couple to join us in CK who aren't Pinnacle or in a suite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted February 13, 2017 #63 Share Posted February 13, 2017 In the evenings, can we invite a couple to join us in CK who aren't Pinnacle or in a suite? We were allowed to bring guests on Oasis. However, they do have limitations on guests. Speak to the CK host/hostess before you bring your guests.

The reason I ask, on our cruise, we noticed a cruiser who hung out in the hallway and waited for someone with a Suite/PC credentials to open the door, to follow them in to the SL and go up to the bar for a free drink during cocktail hours. Nobody was checking credentials unless you ordered a upgraded drink. Saw this happen several times from this same person.

I would like to know the policy of allowing guests into the CK as we are planning a trip with family and we would be staying in a Suite but they would not. I guess that means we could take them into the Diamond Club as well........ LOL Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that means we could take them into the Diamond Club as well........ LOL Sent from my iPhone using Forums Ummm, No. Do not try and push the envelope on this. CK and the SL or Diamond Club are totally different venues with totally different rules. No one with access to the Diamond Club, Concierge Club, or Suite Lounge is allowed to invite guests. Coastal Kitchen has different rules. And yes, I do understand that CK and the SL share an open space on Oasis ships. What i recommend is that you personally escort any guests into CK as appropriate. If you really want the policy, I suggest you contact Royal in advance or onboard the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During our dinning times, there seemed to be plenty of tables/space available for extra guests. Now if everyone decided to bring guests, that might be a different story. I think there were 8 waiters as well. Beer/wine (on list) is free from 11am-11pm to Suite Guest and PC. The only time our credentials were checked was when we ordered an upgraded drink. Were is your sense of humor?? I follow my DC/DL remark with a LOL. Yes, different set of rules. Shorts are PROHIBITED in SL/CK on Formal Nights (not enforced).

We believe, the food and service is a lot better in the CK and is a perk offered to Suite Guest and PC. The way the Lobster was prepared on Lobster night was simply wonderful. Unlike the Lobster offered in the MDR. The quality of service and attention to the Guests dinning experience to us, was above that on and average night in the MDR. Dinning in the CK makes it all the more worth booking a Suite. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisewithbaby Posted February 13, 2017 #71 Share Posted February 13, 2017 For my upcoming march cruise on Anthem the cruise planner online let me book CK and add my 2 inlaws that are not staying in our suite but in a balcony. I added them to the reservations bc it let me, but we will find out once onboard if they will be allowed in. My mother in law thinks they won't be and is planning accordingly but it would be nice for the 3 times we plan to eat there if they could join.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums It is nice you can book CK on Cruise Planner. On Allure 1/29, not possible. I am not debating the right for Suite Guest or PC to bring Guest into the CK for dinner. Just wondering what happens when the word gets out and everyone brings Guest?? Most tables were two toppers but could be pushed together.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Not my problem. That will probably be when they stop accepting guests. Only make sense. The Harmony crossing had plenty of eligible passengers that could not get reservations. JS passengers often have to wait until they board to get a reserrvation.
