Chef's Table / Camp Ocean timing

[jandres12]

Wife and I really want to do the Chef's Table on the Mardi Gras, but it looks it starts at 6:30PM, and Camp Ocean opens at 7PM on sea days for the kids. On port days they seem to take kids for dinner in Camp Ocean, but if they kids are with at port and coming back, I'm not sure that it would be available. Does someone know the logistics of how this would work, or are we better just skipping the Chef's table since the timing does not appear to work?

Although the CT starts at 6:30 pm, guests are usually asked to arrive at a meeting point around 6:00 pm.  That way, everyone is checked-in, food allergies confirmed, and health forms completed if not done beforehand.   It is a shame that it looks like you can't logistically make the CT work for your cruise because it is a wonderful dining experience.  

I know this is probably not the answer you want, but hope it helps.

When we were on Panorama with our 9 year old grandson in October the kids were in the buffet area having dinner from 6 to 7. I don’t think Camp Ocean actually closes from 6 to 7, they just move it to the buffet area and feed the kids pizza. They have an area roped off for them and you can even check your kids in there during that time. Our grandson loved eating dinner with his Camp Ocean buddies, he would have done it every night if we let him. 
 

I would not cancel the Chef’s Dinner, just confirm the first day with the Camp Ocean staff and if it won’t be available you can cancel. I don’t think it will be a problem, my daughter and SIL did it and said it was amazing, enjoy!
