ksm77 Posted January 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Just back from the Regal. We did the Wine Makers Dinner on the New Years cruise. It was amazing, loved it. We are on the Crown in July doing the Baltic. Does anyone know if this is offered on the Crown? I know it is not on all ships but wold love to do this again.

Rare gotta cruise again Posted January 17, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I believe it's only on the Royal & Regal; I'm guessing it might be offered on Majestic too. I think it's only on these as they have the special wine cellar areas in those two dining rooms. We are on board in <3 weeks and plan on doing Wine Makers too; thank you for your post and feel free to give any other details, tips & tricks, thoughts, etc. as they would be much appreciated!

capriccio Posted January 17, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Just off 31 days on the Crown and I can confirm that the Wine Makers Dinner is not offered. We loved it on the Royal Princess in 2015 and are looking forward to it again this October. Edited January 17, 2017 by capriccio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toothmaker Posted January 17, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hello: Wife and I and two other couples doing a TA in Sept. going to try the Wine Makers Dinner. Do you recall what the price was per person? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare gotta cruise again Posted January 17, 2017 #7 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Swapped over and read the review. Thanks for the heads-up about MDR woes. We're set for 6pm traditional but if service not up to par, we already have our "Plan B" in place!! I guess my Wine Makers questions (and we've done Chef's Table before) are things like: --is it lots and lots of food like CT, where you are careful about how much you've eaten earlier in the day (i.e. it's a good day to skip tea and platinum lounge) --I'm guessing attire for WM is whatever is called for on that evening? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cboyle Posted January 17, 2017 #12 Share Posted January 17, 2017 We did the Winemaker's Dinner on the 1/8/17 sailing of the Regal Princess. It is $40 pp. Here are our menu and a couple of photos: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plan09 Posted January 17, 2017 #13 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Thank you both. I misunderstood (maybe I should reconsider more wine?)and was searching for a review just for the winemaker's dinner. Always good to see those pics from scuba again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! It is not quite as much food as the CT but we still only had a light lunch earlier in the day. We were comfortably full afterwards. And wear what you would have worn to the dining room. That being said, some of the other women were more dressed up than I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rzmz89 Posted January 18, 2017 #22 Share Posted January 18, 2017 We will be on the Royal in two weeks. When and how did you make reservations for the winemaker dinner and chef table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted January 18, 2017 #23 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) We will be on the Royal in two weeks. When and how did you make reservations for the winemaker dinner and chef table? Call the DINE line for both the Chef's Dinner and the Wine Makers Dinner when you board. They'll let you know closer to the date of the dinner if you made the cut if more than a dozen passengers signed up. On the first of our B2B cruises on the Royal not enough passengers signed up for the Wine Makers Dinner so it wasn't held. Luckily on the second cruise 10 people signed up and we all had a wonderful time. Edited January 18, 2017 by capriccio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAILERIE Posted January 18, 2017 #24 Share Posted January 18, 2017 We are sailing on the Regal Princess at the end of February. Can anyone tell me what day of the cruise the winemakers dinner is offered, and where do I go on the ship to get a reservation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
