SouthernBelle_N_Louisiana Posted June 21, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Hi we are considering whether or not to book an OS or GS on Liberty. Can anyone tell me if suite guests have the option of private dining for breakfast and lunch in Chops Grille? I thought I saw something about it on an older thread but wasn't sure if this was still going on after the recent "ship enhancements". Thanks so much!

Ken at the beach Posted June 21, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Hi we are considering whether or not to book an OS or GS on Liberty. Can anyone tell me if suite guests have the option of private dining for breakfast and lunch in Chops Grille? I thought I saw something about it on an older thread but wasn't sure if this was still going on after the recent "ship enhancements". Thanks so much! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Chops was open for suite guests for both lunch and dinner on our recent Liberty cruise. Not sure if they had a separate menu or if it was just a place to sit with your meal from the WJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted June 21, 2014 #3 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Haven't been on Liberty lately, but all the ships we have sailed in GS and OS have offered a cooked to order breakfast in Chops. Some ships have offered a limited lunch menu on sea days as well. Otherwise, lunch is bringing food from the WJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George C Posted June 21, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 21, 2014 When we did Navigator 2 months ago suite people had breakfast at Chops , also lunch on some days not all, lunch menu was very limited but you could get something from windjammer and bring it to chops to eat.

SouthernBelle_N_Louisiana Posted June 22, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) Thanks y'all!! One of the reasons I'm asking is DS 12 is celiac so WJ will not be a safe option -- cross contamination risk too high. So we will need other options for breakfast and lunch. I just hate the thought of kinda being forced to eat in the room all the time and not out in the restaurants enjoying the ship. We just sailed in the Haven on NCL and we LOVED having that private dining area for breakfast and lunch. I guess I was thinking the Chops thing was similar???

jonbgd Posted June 22, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 22, 2014 We sailed on the Liberty, in a GS, a few months ago Breakfast and lunch seating in Chops for suite guests. Breakfast had cook to order menu and lunch was carryin from the buffet Our favorite perk was every meal, full menu room service, and enjoying it on our balcony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzsnooze Posted June 22, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Are high tier like Pinnacle also invited to dine in Chops for breakfast and lunch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted June 22, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Are high tier like Pinnacle also invited to dine in Chops for breakfast and lunch? Depends on the ship, but Pinnacle members are usually allowed to take part in most gold card events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzsnooze Posted June 22, 2014 #10 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Depends on the ship, but Pinnacle members are usually allowed to take part in most gold card events. What about D+ , are they considered high up too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted June 22, 2014 #11 Share Posted June 22, 2014 What about D+ , are they considered high up too? Again, depends on the ship. Sometimes a ship will have a breakfast/lunch venue for D/D+, and sometimes it's just gold card holders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted June 22, 2014 #13 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I thought Pinnacle automatically gets a gold card? Yes, Pinnacle members do get a gold card, and while they get many of the perks that full suite guests do, they don't get everything. For example, Pinnacle members don't get to order off the MDR menu for room service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad we were able to enjoy it Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barb in ga Posted June 22, 2014 #15 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Southernbelle--DH is celiac and he is able to be accommodated in the MDR with gluten free bread and pancakes at breakfast. The MDR also has a fruit/cereal bar and he loves starting his meal with a selection of fresh fruit. We have toured the galley on a couple of the ships; they have a dedicated prep area for GF. The headwaiter at your dining table can bring you a menu each night for the next night, indicating which items can be prepared GF. Ice cream, berries, and sherbet are always available for dessert. If you are on a Freedom or Oasis class ship, they have gf pizza available. The cupcake cupboard has fabulous gf cupcakes. We have had good luck in the Windjammer asking to have a chef point out the GF option; Park café has great made to order salad, fruit, etc. Eating gluten-free is easier now than when we first started regular cruising 8 years ago. Hope this helps, Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelerThom Posted June 22, 2014 #16 Share Posted June 22, 2014 What about D+ , are they considered high up too?I was on the May 2014 Liberty TransAtlantic. D+ (and D) were allowed to eat in Portofino for breakfast and lunch. There were limited continental breakfast items on a table in Portofino, but no cooked-to-order (at least that I saw; I didn't eat there everyday). D+ did have access to the reserved theatre seating and were admitted to the Concierge (Suite) Happy Hour which, for the TA, was held in VCL.

SouthernBelle_N_Louisiana Posted June 22, 2014 Author #17 Share Posted June 22, 2014 We sailed on the Liberty, in a GS, a few months ago Breakfast and lunch seating in Chops for suite guests. Breakfast had cook to order menu and lunch was carryin from the buffet Our favorite perk was every meal, full menu room service, and enjoying it on our balcony Thank you for this first hand account from your recent Liberty cruise. How big was the GS? Do you have any pics? I am really struggling with which one to book. I'm leaning OS but if the GS is sufficient for 3, I would be ok with that I think.

jonbgd Posted June 22, 2014 #18 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Thank you for this first hand account from your recent Liberty cruise. How big was the GS? Do you have any pics? I am really struggling with which one to book. I'm leaning OS but if the GS is sufficient for 3, I would be ok with that I think. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Sorry I don't have any photos but there are plenty on google. If you pull up the deck 10 plan, you can see the difference in sizes The GS was more than large enough for the 2 of us We usually try to cruise in a JS which we think is the perfect size for us, but it was a great price:D I think with 3 there is still plenty of room With a 3rd there is a couch There is a drape that that can be pulled across the foot of the bed for a little privacy. So it seperates the bed from the rest of the cabin. While we havnt stayed in a OS, have seen a few on cabin crawls The OS is bigger and does have a dining table in the cabin with a bar against the wall. The GS has a peninsula bar and no dining table. The GS had a table 4 chairs and 2 loungers on the Balcony Hope this helps Enjoy the Liberty we look forward to sailing her again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
