Rare 57eric Posted December 27, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I saw a recent menu for the Tuscan Lunch where the upcharge is $60 p.p. I also read that the upcharge for the Tuscan Dinner was also $60, but this hardly seems likely. Can anyone clarify? Any additional info on these is welcome.

When the Royal began cruising in 2013 they had a Super Tuscan wine tasting with small Italian tastes with each wine ($60) at lunch. On other Royal-class ships that was available & also a ST dinner for slightly more. I have not seen either of them being offered post pandemic but others might have had it available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also went to the Super Tuscan dinner on the Royal earlier this year and some friends went last year, as well. It was $45 pp, I believe. I hadn’t heard they were serving it as a lunch but that would be welcomed as it was too much food to eat so late at night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzeQueen2 Posted December 28, 2023 #5 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Here's a menu from August 2023 on Crown. It was served at lunchtime in Sabatini. I enjoyed every bite and every pour. It was not a Tuscan dinner, but it was $60 and worthwhile. About twenty people attended. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 57eric Posted December 28, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted December 28, 2023 So, what I'm getting so far is that dinner is cheaper than lunch! Keep posting - I don't think we've gotten to the bottom of this yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a fabulous ending to a great event! @AnyMajorCruiseDude Given what we have been seeing in the last few months, with increased pricing for chef's table and such... the lunch menu that we had in August, with full-sized courses and full glasses of wine was "super" for me. Delightful venue, company, food and service. Best wishes to M for more super sailings in the new year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach_fever_4ever Posted December 28, 2023 #10 Share Posted December 28, 2023 We did not attend, but the Sapphire Princess offered the Tuscan lunch several times during our 32 day cruise in November 2023. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XBGuy Posted December 28, 2023 #12 Share Posted December 28, 2023 We attended the Super Tuscan Dinner in 2019 on the Royal Princess. It was held in the Sabatini's space, and it was outstanding, It easily surpassed the Chef's Table event which we attended the previous night. As you can see from the following menu, the wines were outstanding. The price in 2019 was $60 pp. I would be absolutely stunned if the current price was less than that--or, even, the same. That being said, the OP references a "Tuscan Dinner" which may or may not be the same as a "Super Tuscan Wine Pairing Dinner." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anon2k2 Posted December 29, 2023 #14 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Currently on board the Ruby Princess and will do the Super Tuscan lunch today. My recollection is that it is $99 per person with the wine pairing. I will post a pic of the menu and plates later if it’s of interest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 57eric Posted December 29, 2023 Author #18 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Thanks for the responses. So, lunch is $50. Or $125. I get that the latter includes wine and the former almost certainly doesn't, but I think we can conclude that the price is "whatever". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon2k2 Posted December 29, 2023 #19 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Finished the lunch, it was very good. The final price turned out to be $99 plus gratuity. Here is the menu.

Melonn Posted January 4 #24 Share Posted January 4 I do not think so...We found out about the Tuscan dinner when we attended a previous wine tasting event. We heard about the Tapas event at the dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
