fassmp Posted April 4, 2011 #302 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Brian, thanks for the great guide to food on the Oasis of the Seas. We won’t be sailing on Oasis until our 15th Anniversary next April, but I am gathering as much info as I can. Your guide is a great help. On why some people can’t find some of you posts on this thread, it may be because they don’t have their “Display Mode” set correctly. On each page of the thread, just above the first post on each page is a button titled “Display Mode”, with a drop down selection list. If “Hybrid Mode” is selected, the user does not see all your posts (it only shows 19 posts). If they would switch to “Linear Mode”, they should be able to see all the posts.

I'm sure I'll do a write-up of the Allure. However, that will be a different cruise as it will be 9 people and 4 cabins, kids and grandparents. But first up, Enchantment! :cool: Have a wonderful cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the website you can print out your daily schedule. They also give you cards to remind you of your reservations the day of. And most of the restaurants call your cabin. But I made my own itinerary (probably not a surprise). And you can read about it in this thread: Review of July 10th Cruise The itinerary is post #55 if you must skip ahead.

Smithster Posted April 8, 2011 #310 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Just a little update on the Chef's Table. DH and I just got off the 3/26 sailing and did the Chef's Table which was wonderful however the menu was different, which was a little disappointing to me. It was still great, but different. When I find my menu under all my suitcases, I will post the details but a quick summary is: Chilled Lobster over a citrus slaw with crab meat Trio of soups (the only same menu item) Duck spring roll Lamb over a potato risotto Trio of apple items-tart, colavados (sp?) flavored creme, green apple gelato Again, I will post the details as well as the wine pairings when I uncover the mysteries of my luggage! We are sailing on the Oasis in October. It is my understanding there is a Chef's Table. Could you book that in advance before sailing and do you know how far out you can reserve this? Also, did they offer more than one sitting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmorg1234 Posted April 8, 2011 #311 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Yes- the waters are included and are quite tasty. I especially liked the mango flavored one, and goes great with a shot of mango rum as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you book that in advance before sailing and do you know how far out you can reserve this? Also, did they offer more than one sitting? We booked it about a month earlier and we e-mailed chefstable@rccl.com. We got an answer back in a couple of days. Based on the cruise compass, it looks like they have the chef's table every night. When we went there were 12 of us. It was wonderful and we would do it again if we go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we went there were 12 of us. It was wonderful and we would do it again if we go back. I believe it is every night, or every night but the first night. You used to have to email them to make reservations, but it is my understanding that it is now one of the options that come up on the specialty restaurant listings online and it can now be booked online. I'm not sure about that, as I haven't personally done it, but that's what has been expressed on these boards. If so, it should be similar to the other reservations which open 60-90 days before sailing. There is only one seating per evening and it starts at 7:30. You gather in the Library starting after 7 PM. I believe we were done close to 10 PM. Have a wonderful cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did not prepay for the Chef's Table. It was added to our seapass account, along with the tip that we added at the end of the dinner. Maybe that has changed since I think, now, you can book online?

You pre-pay. Or you can try booking it on-board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjmaag Posted April 14, 2011 #319 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I forgot to ask if the Enchantment offers liquor packages. Steve and I just got off the Equinox on March 21st..we did buy the premium non-alcoholic package and it was worth it. I heard there is no specified lounge for Diamond members on this ship but our TA told us they offer wine, champagne and soft drinks each evening complimentary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thia Posted April 21, 2011 #322 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Thank you so much for writing this review. It sure opened my eyes up to all the possible places we can try when we sail on the Oasis next year. I had no idea there were so many options.

Beaching It Posted April 24, 2011 #324 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Thank you Brian! I just spent the past 2 days reading the entire thread and you have a great way of explaining things. A group of girls sailed the Liberty of the Seas last November 2010 and we want to sale the Oasis of the Seas in 2012. I have bookmarked this thread. Thanks again!
