On my last cruise, there was a cooking demonstration of some sort for the steakhouse. But I was not successful at finding it in the guide, and missed it. Does that still happen and if so when and how is it advertised.

I know this has been said numerous times, but what an amazing review. I dont even want to know how many hours you have spent on this review. :D

Noticed the ambulance and a bunch of wheel chairs do you know if this common when a ship pulls into port?

 

Wow, that was a lot of stairs! Good thing you had the Chef's table that night, I am sure you worked up an appetite.

Yes it does. It's usually on the first sea day at 11:30 am or 12:00 pm in the steakhouse. It's in the Funtimes. See page 4, # 875. Third page of the Funtimes under Cooking Demonstration.

[familycruzinnewbie]

Thanks Mike. I'll have to comb through the Funtimes on board with a highlighter. It's so easy to miss some of the cooler events. I did make it to the now canceled fun farewell party and the end of the afternoon tea (though could't bring anything back for the rest of the family)

It appears the menu has not changed since October of 2012.

 

I preferred the menu we had in 2011.

 

Think it's time they changed it again.

We were back onboard at around 1:30 pm. Had lunch at the deli, we didn’t want to eat too much since we had the chef’s table for dinner.

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry, it's a bit blurry.

 

 

 

 

 

In the afternoon, the kids joined us on the Serenity deck

Thank you, much appreciated. :D

You are right.

They were small but each morsel carried a multitude of wonderful flavors. Next we toured the galley with Executive Chef Porvin Gama. This included the area where they prepared the soups in these immense kettles, the bakery area where they make all my nightly treats; the grills were they cook the steaks, etc.

Was it warm in the kitchen?

 

Love it when she turns the camera on you!

[Ron_L]

I sat in the same seat when we did the Chef's Table on the Breeze last December!

 

When we did it they asked us not to take pictures. I'm glad to see yours.

It was neither hot or cool.

We really enjoyed the whole experience. The food was very good and the service was excellent. However to be honest the other menu that they had a couple of years ago was slightly better than this one.
