Guppy99 Posted October 14, 2022 #102 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Did this on our last cruise. It was nice...but not worth the cover charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted October 15, 2022 #108 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Been there, done that. Great food, great drink. Note to self and others, if you do it, eat a snack in advance because the drink flows and so might the political commentary 😳. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pours were adequate, but too rushed (I'm a sipper). Meal was extremely long. Uncomfortable unless you really strike up a conversation with a table mate. The cost just does not live up to the actual experience. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let your sommelier or wine steward know right away. The Cellar Master, Ingrid, can sometimes be found at Cellar Masters bar in the afternoon, especialy if a tasting is going on. You can also sign up with Sommelier Extrodinaire, Nandha in Cellar Masters between 2&4 most afternoons. It was $200 per person onboard the Summit in September. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be the sommelier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose, if you want to stand in line at the customer service desk, you could try. My understanding is that this dinner is arranged through the Cellar Master. For us, mentioning our desire to participate to someone who was coming to us anyway worked well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you want to stand in line at Guest Relations? The sommelier will do it for you during dinner. You're asking to take the more difficult and time consuming option. Have you ever done this?

Then I would do it. I have only been on very few Celebrity cruises. I’m a project manager. I’m not accustomed to there being only one way to do something.

Variable time that could take 30 minutes or more, not including travel to GR desk Option B: 1 Step. Mostly fixed time of 30 seconds or less. No travel from dinner table. Not in the mood to draw out a path analysis or any similar tool. Just ask the sommelier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I can wait for dinner and talk to the sommelier. I chose to express interest sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I assume you’ll be at dinner at talking to the sommelier anyway and this will involve a negligible amount of time. And that you’re not doing this to tag on billable hours. And you can probably do it in the app, on your TV, or heaven help, the phone. You don’t need a PMP to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your comments are interesting to say the least. 🤔 This phone thing? How does it work again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppy99 Posted October 16, 2022 #123 Share Posted October 16, 2022 You cannot reserve before embarking. I went to Sushi on 5 for lunch when embarking and the host there made the reservation for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was $250pp and they did crack La Grande Dame. Really enjoyed it, but at that price I agree it's a one and done. $250 is fair if they do Grande Dame but not for the common shelf stuff. Any limitation on how much you can order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
