French Chef's Table

[DS]

We did French Chef table last night on Quest Trans Atlantic.  Menu same as above, but slight difference in wines brand/vineyard, but same general type.

On this 9 day voyage, there are 3 nights with French and 2 nights with Italian!

That's what sells!  And that proportion sounds about right.

Agree!   Just never seen so many offerings before.   By the time you add BoB, White Nights and first and last nights, every night is booked

I'm glad they're expanding the Chef's Tables to meet the interest – on earlier cruises they only scheduled one of each and then made it sound like they were doing you a favor to squeeze in a second one.  More nights = more happy guests = more $$$ for Azamara.  Win-Win!

I think many guests opt to enjoy Chefs Table once as opposed to say two visits to Specialty Restaurants where quality has been variable and some are looking for new menus. You also find a lot of suite guests who opt for Chefs Tables as special nights and to use up OBC. 
If the galley and wine service can cope with it every evening it does indeed make sense. So long as quantity does not compromise quality all round it makes sound sense but the service impact has to be resourced

 We are on Pursuit  and the French Chefs Table  was wonderful  both food and wine were top class well worth  the surcharge!!
