just erica Posted January 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I am just off the Seaside and I wanted to let others know about a fantastic deal on board that doesn't seem to be advertised and few people know about. We discovered it towards the end of the cruise and wish I had known about it earlier as we would have definitely taken advantage. At the Champagne Bar (can't remember what deck) everyday starting at 5pm to midnight they offer a two level seafood platter that has everything you could imagine on it. If you are a seafood lover then you will love it. Unfortunately by the time we discovered it they had run out of oysters and scallops and so we didn't want to do it. It is $49 for the entire two level platter and I would say it would feed 2-3 people and maybe even 4-5 if using as an appetizer. That's $49 for the platter, not per person! You don't need to be any special level or order any champagne to get this. I would go early, the first or second day so you can maybe be assured they are not out of anything. I really wish I had know about this earlier as there is no special menu for the formal night and I was looking forward to lobster which is usually served for dinner on formal nights.

TravelinGert Posted January 24, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Thank you for the heads up. I had seen a menu for the food at the champagne bar but I don't think this was on it. Found it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkbiiii Posted January 24, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Also with the dining plans or the Black Card dinners you can substitute a course for a 50% discount. So I think you can get this for $25-$50 in the specialty seafood dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEGACruisers Posted January 26, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Thank you for the heads up. I had seen a menu for the food at the champagne bar but I don't think this was on it. Found it: Yes, it is the Seaside chilled platter. The shrimp cocktail is amazing and delicious, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2tcdx2 Posted February 21, 2018 #18 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Looks good, though I am just not a fan of chilled seafood. Too bad they don't have a warm platter we could do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
