@wcflats Enquiring mind here. Thanks for weighing in with Sur la Mer. Is the 360 a dining location in the MDR or in a separate location? Something new for me, thanks! I will already be asking to join a Winemaker's or Chef's Table. Please elaborate on the 360 experience.

Yes, you get the FCD reassigned back to your captain circle account.

@Ken the cruiserI was looking at the 8 day sailing in May 2024 on Grand. When I continued through the steps of booking, there were a few perks listed, but not all. That's when the disappointment kicked in. Thank you for attaching the list of suite benefits here. Yes, as it was, before. Hope it's still being offered to the WINDOW suites. We shall see, won't we?

Since this thread is reporting on changes noticed in the last few days... I looked at booking a WINDOW suite on the Grand for 2024. It would appear that they have made some changes to the perks there...they are not the same as the VISTA or PENTHOUSE suite perks. Hold on to your hat - can't find where they list the suite breakfast in the specialty restaurants, either! If this is the case, I will be seriously re-thinking my next moves! Please have a look and tell me it isn't so. TIA Looking forward to see where this takes the discussion now. THANK you to all who are checking on the new offerings, with changes noted. Here we go! Sure hope I am not opening the proverbial can of worms. Forgive me, please be kind.

Thank you! @jwattle looking forward to trying new venues. Great to get your input! Curious, did you skip Crown Grill?

Would love to hear from anyone who has experienced a Winemaker's dinner lately, specifically on the Majestic. Would love to hear about the kind of food and wine pairings that are offered. Failing that, how about the Chef's Table - on the Majestic. With an upcoming sailing, I finally have some friends who are seriously interested in trying this out with me. Any other food recommendations or comments about the Bistro Sur la Mer or Harmony would be appreciated as well. I am interested in specifics, if you have first hand experience. We already have bookings for the Crown Grill. Thanks!

@Rick&JeannieThank you! Just the info that I was looking for. Wine Maker's dinner still $40? I see that all other specialty restaurants are now $39. Old news, yes.

@sonomaphilThanks for all the food pics in addition to the informative posts.

Thank you for taking us along. I am enjoying your detailed reporting and especially your food pics. Your positive experiences with the staff, and positive comments about the food, enticed me to look up a sailing opportunity on this ship in February coming up. Alas, the sailing doesn't quite fit into my schedule! Wish I could be on the ship for its journey from CA to Japan. Guess I will have to keep this itinerary on my list for another time. @cruzin4us

Enjoying your stories! Looking forward to the next instalment with shocking admission...thanks for reporting in such an entertaining style 😎

Happy Christmas to you and your family. @ceilidh1 Love your leggings. Thanks again, for continuing to post about your trip.

Thank you @abbydancer for the fun fact about Christine B and Billy Clyde T! Love the trivia. Enjoy your trip. Thanks for taking us along.

It has been known to happen...people that we "meet" here on CC - are sometimes found on ships. Unfortunately, I got so close to finding you, but didn't. @ceilidh1Have fun!

Great info, thanks! Have an extra glass of wine, on me, tonight.

Looks like your beans and hash are almost missing! I usually order the special of the day as you did. I find that it's often a good choice...Hope the portion that you received was tasty. @ceilidh1

@ceilidh1don't worry about the officer board. Have fun!I hope the Ruby shines brighter, tomorrow. At least, you are on a ship for Christmas! No cooking, no cleaning. Enjoy 😄

Happy holidays! Nice to find you on CC. Thanks for sharing! @pkt1976 snow here in Vancouver and cold!

@ceilidh1When you have a chance, please send us a shot of the current officer board, THANKS! Enjoy your extra desserts today...in lieu of beverages? You do you, so authentically. With much gratitude for your posts.

Usual suspects. Good!

At least you know what's happening! So many others will NOT be as well-informed. Yay for friendly posters here on CC. Merry Christmas All! Ho ho ho.

Bon voyage to you! You are missing all the cold and snow here in Vancouver. Smart lady! Happy holudays to you, thanks for taking us along once more.

Please clarify how your friend WON an upgrade to the suite. Thanks! Happy Christmas, thanks for posting. @HBCcruiser

FYI -if you see this in time, be sure to speak with the Director of Restaurant Ops, or a head waiter, tonight Be sure to express your interest to have a Thanksgiving dinner for tomorrow. One year when we sailed on a Canadian Thanksgiving, I heard a passenger express their disappointment on the day after Thanksgiving. The staff stated that they are more than happy to accomodate requests - if given a reasonable amount of time to prepare the special meal. Good Luck! No harm in asking.

Loved your photos! Thank you for the report. Great information. Glad you enjoyed the ship! Crown had so many poor reports this summer, I applaud you for going ahead and enjoying yourself. Will watch for your next report from your ocean to ocean trip. I hope you will be reporting from that sailing as well. Your pictures are fabulous!

Good to hear that. Chef Guido must be as good as he ever was! His food was memorable and consistently wonderful in 2019 on Caribbean P, as well. Lucky you.
