Cooking Classes Aboard Marina

We are looking forward to our first Oceania cruise in December. I searched Oceania's website but can't find pricing for the cooking schools aboard Marina. I would appreciate your comments about pricing and the overall experience.

Thank-you.

They usually show the prices for class under the Culinary Class section

Last time I was on the O ships(2015) they were about $69 or $79 each

I'll try that. Thanks!

We booked a cooking class last October for our cruise that leaves this September. The cost was $69pp. Not sure if each one costs the same or if they are different depending on the class. Ours is called Roman Holiday. I did it through my account as LHT28 explained. If you want a particular class you should do it as soon as you can, mine has been sold out for several months so I was happy I pains ahead of time & didn't wait to use my OBC.

During a Transatlantic we took two. Thought they were very good and taught us new things we did not previously knew. Only regret was the time whiz by. Wish they were longer.

We take some cooking classes each time we sail on an O ship and the itinerary has sea days (or a repeat port for us). Keep an eye on your "manage my booking" a few months ahead of sailing and sign up ASAP since the classes fill fast.

There are a number of standard classes, some which focus on regional cuisine and new ones are rotated in every couple of years.

There's something for everyone in these classes, from knife safety for a beginner to some amazing time/money saving tips for even the most accomplished home cooks (e.g., poaching eggs in plastic sandwich bags).

One suggestion: if you are doing an afternoon class (the 90 minute classes are usually at 10 am and 4 pm), think twice about too early a specialty restaurant reservation since you get to eat what you've made in class.

Of course if your class is taught by the guy on the right wearing the black polo shirt you'll probably learn a little bit more than what you might in the typical class. ;)

You have the pricing, and let me tell you it's a lot of fun. You learn a little, but you have really a good time.

LHT28 was kind to mention 2015 prices. Cooking class prices for our cruise do not show on my reservation yet. No big deal. We'll book a few classes ASAP once the reservations are open. I does indeed look like a lot of fun. :)

We paid $69 in May and booked on board Riviera. The class was wonderful. We didn't expect the wine pairings served with the food we cooked.

I would have thought they would be open now

I have booked at 9 mths out in the past

We did the Essential Pepin class three weeks ago and the man himself was there! He made several appearances during the cruise: demonstrating, autographing, speaking... We had an awesome time.
