dejagatkins Posted February 9, 2016 Report Posted February 9, 2016 New cruiser--We signed up and paid for a Chef's table on our upcoming cruise. It mentioned there is wine with various courses. Is that part of what I paid for upfront. Quote
Matt Posted February 9, 2016 Report Posted February 9, 2016 Yes, wine is included with the Chef's Table experience. dejagatkins 1 Quote
MICHELLE Posted February 9, 2016 Report Posted February 9, 2016 Yes, and these are great experiences - lots of food though so come hungry and ask questions of the Chef and staff - in the past I was even treated to a kitchen tour but that is based on the Chef's preferences Matt and dejagatkins 2 Quote
WAAAYTOOO Posted February 9, 2016 Report Posted February 9, 2016 Not sure if they still do it or not, but as a gift for booking the Chef's Table we got a RCI cookbook. Very nice gift. dejagatkins, MICHELLE and WHStoneman 3 Quote
Christie Posted February 10, 2016 Report Posted February 10, 2016 Not sure if they still do it or not, but as a gift for booking the Chef's Table we got a RCI cookbook. Very nice gift. We received one of the decanters as our present. 1 for the couple. They were being sold for $45 elsewhere on the ship. dejagatkins 1 Quote
Kris816 Posted April 12, 2016 Report Posted April 12, 2016 We are signed up for the Chef's Table on the Allure in 2 weeks. The website says it starts at 730 and ends at 1000. Is this accurate? We have reservations for the 11 pm comedy show that same night (not our first choice but what we ended up with); so, I want to make sure we will be able to make it. Quote
WAAAYTOOO Posted April 12, 2016 Report Posted April 12, 2016 Yes, it is a long event...and depending upon how many people are at the event, it can be very very long. We have been fortunate. Both times we've done the Chef's Table there was not a full table and it went a little faster. Quote

You are not required to stay any longer than you want. You can walk out and go to the show when you are ready. And if Royal states it is from 7:30 to 10:00 they must really follow that. If it is running longer just tell them to complete your meal, you have control here not the cruise line. I Know if I was booked at Chef's Table and they ran late, so I could not complete my meal and make the show, they would be refunding the payment. Always find it surprising when on vacation some people allow the provider to have more control than is needed or required. Quote

On Oasis it started later (cocktails at 8, dinner started at 8:30). We were there until midnight. I think it would have been rude to leave before all the courses were served. dejagatkins and WHStoneman 2 Quote
WHStoneman Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 The Chef's Table is designed TO BE the night's entertainment. As adventurous diners, we really look forward to the event. Always...always have a great time enjoying food friends and fellowship. I would never consider planning anything afterwards...but a beautiful stroll deckside.

Kris816 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 Thank you. We decided to move our reservation to a night when we aren't scheduled for a show. We don't want to be rushed and are looking forward to the experience. Quote
dejagatkins Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Posted April 13, 2016 Just saw this...we have Come Fly with Me show.. Will reschedule as Chef's table starts at 8 and it's our anniversary so don't want to rush the Chef's Table Matt 1 Quote
firegal2539 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 I would like to know, since I never heard of the Chef Table until I joined this blog. I have a food allergy, all seafood, can't eat any, and I don't drink alcohol, maybe once or twice a year a glass or two if wine. Would this be a waste of money for me? It sounds so wonderful. Quote
arebee Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 Wine yes, food maybe... You would have to check... Quote
Christie Posted April 14, 2016 Report Posted April 14, 2016 I'm pretty sure they will accommodate the food allergy. I'm not a big drinker, and really only like sweet white wine. I took just a sip of some of the wines just to see how it paired with their food. I actually liked that cause I could see what they were talking about where I would never spend $$ on a recommended wine at a restaurant lol. I loved it. Great great night. Quote
Rich T Posted April 15, 2016 Report Posted April 15, 2016 We've enjoyed over a dozen Chef Tables experiences on multiple class ship ... ALWAYS an enjoyable event in and of itself. Sometimes they "include" a gift like the Recipe Book or a Chef's Apron (although it's been more than a year since we received either), and they almost always include a galley tour.
