Ships are doing them depending on staffing issues. You cannot pre-book, inquire as soon as you board. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseCrabs Posted August 10, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2022 If you are in a suite, your suite concierge will make the arrangements for you. Otherwise, you need to ask to get on the list for consideration. If your ship has the Lumiere table and a negligible amount of COVID on board, they may host multiple nights.

Rare ghgeckos Posted August 11, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Call the dine line as soon as you board and get on the list. I did this on my recent Majestic cruise to Alaska and it was the best meal I have ever eaten. Also lots of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinbtigger Posted August 11, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Which days are the Chef's Table usually available? Our anniversary is on a non-formal night and it would be wonderful if we are able to do the Chef's Table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is entirely up to the ship's Director of Restaurant Operations if and when they do it; no set night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latebloomer56 Posted August 11, 2022 #8 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Have they added the galley tour back into this? We haven't been in years but really liked the galley tour with treats :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odie1024 Posted August 11, 2022 #10 Share Posted August 11, 2022 We were on the Royal in June and one of the first to board and the first thing I did was call to sign up for the Chefs Table and Winemakers Dinner. We were invited to both but opted to give the invite for the Winemakers Dinner back so someone else would have an opportunity to have a nice experience. This was our first time cruising with Princess and were excited to try the Chefs Table which was absolutely amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suite Susie Posted August 14, 2022 #13 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Unfortunately they were not holding The Chefs Table on our recent sailing (22 July to 5 August) on Enchanted due to staff shortages. Disappointed, but had a great time anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't been in years but really liked the galley tour with treats :). Just returned from the 06 Aug sailing on the Crown. We were lucky to get two seats at the Chef's Table. We called the dining line immediately after boarding and expressed interest; at the time they said it "might happen" based on "interest". On the day of the event, there were only 8 of us. It turns out ours was only the 3rd Chef's Table on the Crown since return to operations. There WAS a brief galley tour with hors d'oeuvres, but NOT of the lower galley because it was not operating (due to reduced staffing). They said they had been sailing 62-65% guest occupancy, with a corresponding staff reduction, and expected to increase to 85% after the Crown's dry dock in October. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
