Artemis Posted October 16, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) That is, indeed, a bummer! Have I missed news that this was going away for good? Is it just Oasis, or Allure, too, or fleet wide?Our experience on Allure was definitely a dining highlight of all cruises we've taken.

caymancouple Posted October 16, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I am really bummed. This was my one and only chance to do this. My hubby would never ever agree to pay that kind of money for dinner. I am cruising with a girl friend and we were treating ourselves.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare steamboats Posted October 17, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 17, 2014 The Chef´s Table used to be in the CL on deck 12. This area will be converted to Wonderland and is currently a big construction site. According to the DL concierge they won´t continue Chef´s Table on the Oasis as they haven´t found a new place for it yet. This is valid at least until Dynamic Dining starts. They might rethink it. But nothing is for sure... steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papcx Posted October 17, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Oh dear. I was hoping to do this on the Allure after next years dry dock. I better make the most of the Anthem booking next June! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare steamboats Posted October 17, 2014 #12 Share Posted October 17, 2014 The whole area formerly known as CL on deck 11 and deck 12 is a construction area. There is no CL anymore. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karter Posted October 17, 2014 #13 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) The reason I asked was because on the future deck plans they have the area listed as Wonderland & concierge club. Edited October 17, 2014 by Karter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted October 17, 2014 #14 Share Posted October 17, 2014 The reason I asked was because on the future deck plans they have the area listed as Wonderland & concierge club. That's been noted, and so far there's no explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karter Posted October 17, 2014 #15 Share Posted October 17, 2014 That's been noted, and so far there's no explanation. Thanks for the info - I will be on it next year so we'll see what happens to the CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loubetti Posted October 17, 2014 #16 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I have always felt that the chef's table should be in a somewhat quiet corner of the galley / kitchen. Why they would want to place it outside the galley just makes it another restaurant table. Example: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnappyNappi Posted October 17, 2014 #18 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I am booked on Quantum, departing February 13th, 2015 and DH and I have a reservation at Chef's Table scheduled and paid for on that trip, on that ship. We haven't heard that this is going away from their dining model and is still listed as a dining experience on their ships. So since we are only hearing about this being cancelled on Oasis and it seems only in a window of time so far - perhaps, it is a temporary thing until they can finish construction, work out the new restaurants and venues with dynamic dining, and situate the new lounges so that they can find a location that will suffice for this dining experience. It is an expensive dinner so I can't see RCCL getting rid of it completely since it is their most upscale dining experience. DH and I love it and it is a treat that we plan for when we can (not on every cruise) but for us, it is worth the money that we pay extra. I do hope that it is only a temporary stop on Oasis while they button up their dining changes and not something that RCCL is planning to do away with completely.

smoosh21 Posted October 17, 2014 #19 Share Posted October 17, 2014 That would be pretty great. A week or so ago someone posted that they are doing a kitchen dining experience on Grandeur on a smaller scale / test program. This is how Princess did it when we did it on the Coral. You went back into the galley and had a tour and then had champagne and an amuse bouche while learning about the kitchen. The table was in the main dining room, but set apart and very private Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted October 17, 2014 #20 Share Posted October 17, 2014 The reason I asked was because on the future deck plans they have the area listed as Wonderland & concierge club. All deckplans onboard and all signage onboard doesn´t mention the CL anymore and only says "Wonderland". steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomko2 Posted October 17, 2014 #22 Share Posted October 17, 2014 We are booked on the Oasis for Jan. 2016. I guess all the changes will be in place by then. What is Wonderland? :confused: THanks Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know about this and that´s just a funny "typo" :D. As I told you on the roll call, my DH was confirmed onboard that the whole area will be Wonderland and that the CL is gone (so will the library). And no, he was not speaking to "someone" onboard but someone who is able to tell something. BTW check out the other thread started by RCI. They don´t mention the CL in their initial post anymore but only Suite Lounge and Diamond Lounge. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjudis Posted October 18, 2014 #25 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I want to surprise my parents with the chefs table on the Brilliance 12/20/14. Can anyone tell me about it and is it worth $70.00 each? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
