Have only done one chef's table on the Celebration. It was a fantastic experience but I don't think I could do another. Too much food, a little too long. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A more thorough galley tour. A break for a pastry demonstration. A break for a magician. We met the entire team of chefs that worked on it. Princess was fancier. Higher level of personnel running it. Carnival was a sous chef with an appearance from the exec. Princess had Individual photos instead of group. Multiple wines instead of one. Lobster instead of sea bass. But $40 more as well.

Rare Saint Greg Posted November 17, 2023 Author #1429 Share Posted November 17, 2023 This is a stupid venue it was packed 10’mins before the show. CD said she picked this location because of the cameras for close up Magic. They don’t have cameras in the larger venues? We saw the piano playing in the main lounge last night. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did look fancier, that's partly why I would prefer Carnival, looked a little stuffy lol. We had a family seated across from us with a funny not obnoxious drunk person that kept the table entertained all evening. Definitely would have preferred individual photos. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very surprised that you didn't get individual or couple pictures as well as the group pic. We have always had both for the Chef's Table (we've been to 4 in the last 2 years). They used to have the first course and champagne in the galley before COVID. It didn't look like you did even though you had a galley tour (which has been added back in since we last went in May)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange - again, we saw him in the main theatre and yes they had the camera they projected on a large screen to follow his close up card trick. The theatre was packed. That little theatre is way too tiny! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took my solo picture and avoided the awkward situation I had on magic when they wanted me in a group photo everyone would get and I had to tell them I couldn’t take a photo because it was against my religion. It was a bigger deal than I thought. They really did not like it. Edited November 17, 2023 by Saint Greg 1 1 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we cruise what always works with the photographers when I am with my wife is saying, "No, I can't chance my wife seeing us." 3 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted November 17, 2023 Author #1442 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I can hear the steel drum in the atrium. Not the typical Caribbean song I’m used to.

Rare Saint Greg Posted November 17, 2023 Author #1446 Share Posted November 17, 2023 If I could do it again I would get this twice. The pizza was good. But..my opinion. The crust. The sauce. It’s the same as they have on lido. Different toppings, more toppings, but the same. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted November 17, 2023 Author #1448 Share Posted November 17, 2023 And when their lido pizza is fresh, I like it better than carnival or NCl. The problem is they make large pizzas and if you want it at an off peak time, they serve old pizza. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
