She can get a little crazy when she drinks, so hopefully she'll reign it in. You and Mom will enjoy it....Mom may end up being the life of the party!! But not enough room for Mom to dance on the table...too many wine glasses about!!!! FireFishII 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jays2rc Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 We experienced the Royal Chef's Table for the first time over New Year's on a Freedom class ship. Our wines were different from the ones shown. The one that stood out was Conundrum white blend; some of the guests were excited about this one as it was apparently hard to find. (I saw these at Costco a few weeks ago for $17 a piece <shrug>) That being said, I enjoy just about any varietal of wine, so I was happy with the selection. We enjoyed the same menu as the one pictured. I love seafood and sushi/sashimi, but I didn't love the scallop carpaccio or lobster salad. The scallops were unpleasantly gelatinous; the lobster was just a little under-done. Just for jaw-dropping curiosity, I'd love to find out how many total calories comprise the courses. I would have been plenty satiated with just the bread, soup, and steak. Even keeping this in mind, enjoying just a few bites of bread and half the branzino, by the time the steak came out, I was already stuffed. Save room for dessert! We weren't quite prepared for how intimate and social the Chef's table is. It definitely helps to be in a sociable mood since you're seated together (for us, at a large round top). Between our rather social table, our talkative and fun host, and a glitch in the system that added time between courses, our dinner ran four hours long. By that time we'd used up our social energy. Definitely don't plan anything other than a late night show on the same evening! I wish they would mix up the menu annually; I'd go again for our Allure cruise in a few weeks if the menu were different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barjpoe Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 I have a problem with scallops so I'm given some kind of VERY thin slices of beef. (I think its also offered either in the MDR or maybe at Geovani's, I know I'm spelling it wrong but something like Beef Caprecio) Yes on the soup, bread, & steak and off course The World.
