Rare HBCcruiser Posted December 23, 2022 Author #152 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Chefs table started in Vines where we had the apps then moved into the galley. We did not eat or drink in the galley. We had to wear masks and lab coats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Cruise till you drop Posted December 23, 2022 #158 Share Posted December 23, 2022 On 12/21/2022 at 11:23 AM, HBCcruiser said: Chefs table will be tomorrow and YES they are doing the galley tour!! We had to sign a health protocol waiver. Wear mask, closed toed shoes and gown in the galley. For our January cruise, they mentioned you couldn’t sign up for Chefs table in advance of the cruise and we should plan to sign up quickly once we board. Was this the same situation on your cruise?

Rare HBCcruiser Posted December 23, 2022 Author #169 Share Posted December 23, 2022 For those on the ship - we are going to be running very late because we have to wait for a tanker that we are transiting with. Folks are not happy about getting back at 7:30-8:00. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

algriff Posted December 23, 2022 #171 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Tell me more about the chefs table..what is it, how many people can do it, is there a cost involved, etc. Thanks for all the info on this cruise..we will be going on the Feb 10 Panama Canal cruise. One other question...did they do surf & turf one night and if so is there an extra charge? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One other question...did they do surf & turf one night and if so is there an extra charge? Thanks As I recall, when on the Grand in September, it was around $90.00 to $100.00 per person. DH was charged less because he does not drink alcohol. They were very sweet and accommodating and served him other beverages. There were several courses with the Chef explaining the courses we were served. The table could accommodate 12 people but we had less so that was surprising as people are usually placed on a waiting list. We were in a private room in the Crown Grill. Basically, the first thing I did when we reached our cabin was to call the Dine Line and told them that we would like to participate in a Chef's Table if they were going to have it. They took our names and cabin number and placed us on the list because they did not know at that point that it would be offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
