DDemuth Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 We're booked on Oasis for the Western Caribbean in late October. I've already made several online reservations for Specialty restaurants but can suite guests also make Coastal Kitchen reservations for My Time Dining using the Cruise Planner? If so, how are these reservations distinguished from online reservations for the main dining room? Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christie Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 You wont need them. It was generally empty when we went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDemuth Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Really! That surprises me a bit since the CK menu looks very appealing and from what I've read, the food is reported to be very good. What are your impressions? Compare well with the main dining room fare?

Christie Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 We never ate in the MDR :huh: We ate at CK several times. Loved it! The prosciutto wrapped dates are to die for. The steak was better than chops in my opinion. The only thing I liked as much or better on board was 150 CP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We looked at 150 CP but instead reserved a night at the Chef's Table. Did this on our first cruise and it was superb. This cruise is shaping up to be a significant challenge to my waistline....

Others on these boards, including me, have stated that Giovanni's filet is better than Chops. I love so many things about Royal Caribbean, but I wish Chops would figure out how to serve a good steak.

Galveston Steve Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 I do have a question about Coastal Kitchen... My wife and I will be on Oasis in December in a Junior Suite, which means access to Coastal Kitchen for dinner. I'm traveling with other family members who are not in Suites. Would they be able to gain access if they go with us or is it a strict restriction to suite guests? I'm guessing it's pretty strict but thought I would ask.

I've never been in one but know they like to look at your sea pass card to get into the diamond club and concierge club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christie Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 When we were on Oasis, you were able to book at table for yourself and your friends even if they weren't suite guests. Just need one card to get into the place. Galveston Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t18c97 Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Was able to snag a JS for a December cruise. So what's the current deal for Coastal Kitchen, are reservations needed and if yes how to make, or is it still just walk up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 I believe that JS must make reservations (dinner only) directly with the CK desk. I don't think they can be made online ahead of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not been on Oasis yet, have to wait until Oct 2017 for that but on Anthem this year we were also in a JS and had to make reservations for CK for dinner. We made these on-board via the planner on the stateroom TV. We thoroughly enjoyed CK and are looking forward to trying it again on Oasis this time we will have a GS so will also be able to get in to try breakfast.

OBX Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Just returned from a b2b on the Allure, staying in a JS. It was our impression that CK was basically for Sky and Star Suite guests since it is on deck 17 where all those suites are located. I went up to check it out but entry to the restaurant required one to swipe their sea pass, so was denied entry. Didn't see anyone around to help out so we forgot about eating there with so many other great places to dine. Unless the Oasis is different, those in the Sea Suite category (JS) can have dinner there, but only one time per week. We didn't get to try it so cant comment on the food but did hear from others that it was very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Anthem 9 day cruise we ate there a few times and were asked by the wait staff why we didn't use it more. The reason was we were also trying out other specialty restaurants and couldn't fit in any more visits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howarderose Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 I was on Oasis a couple years ago and there were 2 different adult comedy shows, but when im looking at the cruise planner for my upcoming cruise on Oasis it only shows 1 show. Have they scaled down to 1 adult comedy show now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in a JS and made a reservation while on the ship. When we arrived at CK there was a sign that said Star and Sky Class only, and you had to swipe your sea pass to open the door. I had to knock on the door to gain admittance. This really bothered me that Sea Class has this as an amenity but you are treated as a second class citizen. I discussed it with the ship's restaurant manager and he apologized for this and assured me we had full access every night of the cruise.

We had 4 people in Suites and 2 in a balcony and only the suite people were admitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
