Emoliash Posted September 14, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I just read about the Chef's Table, has anyone done this experience on Princess ship sailing in the Australian region? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted September 14, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Not in Australian waters but elsewhere on Princess and also on differing lines, if you like a special night of great food and wines, then go for it. If you do not, then there is always room service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wisconsin Travelers Posted September 19, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 19, 2019 We've done the Chef's Table on 2 different Princess ships, 1 Carnival and 1 Holland America. It's like a culinary excursion instead of an excursion off the ship - exceptionally good food and wine, small group of nice people (limited to 12 passengers on Princess) and lots of fun. We will be sailing the Majestic out of Sydney in a couple of weeks and hope to book the Chef's Table on that cruise. Definitely go for it at least once - you won't be disappointed!

Bugalugsnz Posted September 19, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Yes, I did on Emerald Princess between New Zealand and Australia a couple of years ago. Well worth it. Struggled to eat all the courses and wish I could go back and finish it off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scanorama Posted September 23, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I did it on Emerald Princess a few years ago to Fiji - well worth the money. There is so much food (exceptionally well cooked food) and a tour of the galley. I went on the Diamond Princess last year to NZ but they didn't offer it. Hopefully they will do it on Ruby Princess this year. I will definitely do it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted September 25, 2019 #7 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I just grin when I see them come into the MDR for chefs table with the Maitre 'D etc, music all the way and then the curtains fall. What a show. It was right near our table on Sapphire Princess last year, there were as many wait staff as there were diners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am not sure if Majestic Princess will have the Chef's Table on the Feb 12 cruise from Sydney to Singapore, as is repositioning cruise - Australian Waters.

I dont think they would make that much out of it.....not if the bean counters took into account the number of staff and the amount of time and prep that they put on such a feast. From what I can make out , whether they have it or not depends on the Ex Chef and the number of "qualified" staff he has on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Staff are already there David, as for the food at Chefs Table, now you see what the Captain and senior staff eat, no MDR swill for them, so the food stuffs are on board as well. Put it this way the cruise line does not suffer a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
