San10s Posted February 15, 2009 #2 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Thanks Shogun! :D I am hoping to get on the list for the Chef's table a week from now on the Caribbean Princess! :) :D I can hardly wait to see what's on their menu. Maybe someone getting off of the ship today will post something when they get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjack22 Posted February 16, 2009 #6 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I guess I will never be able to do the Chef's Table (sigh). Neither my husband nor myself like fish or seafood and it looks like that is heavy on the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisemom42 Posted February 16, 2009 #7 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I guess I will never be able to do the Chef's Table (sigh). Neither my husband nor myself like fish or seafood and it looks like that is heavy on the menu. Heavy? I count only 2 of the 5 appetizers that include seafood in both of the menus posted here; Shogun's has one-half of a huge entree as seafood (you could still eat the filet mignon AND the lamb)....and the menu posted by dchip has no seafood on the entree.....:confused::confused::confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzie25 Posted February 16, 2009 #9 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Is the menu the same for each ship, ex: we will be on the Island in July. The menu's posted here were for two other ships. Do they stay the same or is it chef's choice and they are random? The chef's table caught my fancy because of the raves everyone gives the experience. The drawback for us will be food allergies. For me it would be strawberries and seafood. For R it is eggs. I am unfamiliar with some of the items offered but could look those up to see what they are. Others I know have egg in them. I would want us both to be able to enjoy the experience to the fullest so if there were many items that had to be avoided, I am wondering if it would be worth it for R to participate?

It is never the same. It is whatever the Chef creates specially for that evening. When you are interviewed by the Maitre'd he will ask you if you have any food allergies. Our menu on the Coral last month was: --Champagne Tuna Tartar with Wasabi and Pickled Ginger in Nori Sheets --Champagne Duck Gelatine on Brioche, Cranberry Jam --Champagne Bistro Mini Quiche Provencale --Champagne Roasted New Potatoes with Sour Cream & Caviar --Champagne Asparagus Risotto with Lobster Tail --White Wine Lemon Sorbet with Mango Slaw --Vodka poured on top by Chef Roast Veal Shank & Veal Rack, Carved Tableside with Chantarelle & Jus, Market vegetables, Creamy Mouselline Potatoes --Red Wine Baked Camembert with Pine Nuts, Bitter Marmalade --White wine Italian Style Tartufo with Nougat Ice Cream --Dessert Wine Homemade Biscotti & Amaretti, coffee & tea In a word - incredible. Don't miss it. Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisinbuddy Posted February 16, 2009 #13 Share Posted February 16, 2009 We did the Chef's table on the Crown in '08 and loved it. It was a different menu, but still great, well worth th $150.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIMPIT Posted February 16, 2009 #15 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Sailing on Sea Princess 25th April - 9th May, will there be a Chefs Table for each 7 day cruise. Where do I have to register when I board ? , also can you register for the 2nd week when you board ? Any tips on ensuring that my registration is successfull ! Like some of the other posts I do not like fish, but my partner loves it, so due to the fantastic reviews would love to give this a go, maybe I can supplement the fish with extra vino !

Rare cruisemom42 Posted February 16, 2009 #16 Share Posted February 16, 2009 The menus change and are determined by the Chef (just like a Chef's Table in a land-based restaurant). That said, certain items do tend to show up often on the menus. For those concerned about fish, the appetizers are passed while you are in the kitchen and you can choose not to take any of the ones with seafood, and generally there are enough to take an extra of another one or two to make up for it. As for the allergies, that would be tough. The maitre d' generally has a meeting in advance of the event to determine if anyone has allergies, etc. But an egg allergry might be difficult to accommodate.

ancientmariner Posted February 16, 2009 #17 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Our menu on the Golden last month was the same as Cindy posted from the Coral. I don't eat shellfish, so just missed out the asparagus and lobster risotto. Everything else was delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolyn R Posted February 16, 2009 #18 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I just returned from a b2b cruise on the CB. I had attended the Chef's table last year and wanted to do it again. I gave my name to the maitre 'd Georgio at our M&G the first week and said I was interested in attending the second week. I received a phone call later in the week and was asked if I had attended a Chef's Table before and, if so, what was the menu served IF I remembered. Say what? How could I forget? Apparently they have three basic menus and will make sure you get a different one. Georgio said that anyone with allergies would not be able to attend. Great food, great wine and great company, again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dot73 Posted February 16, 2009 #19 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I attended the Chef's Table on the Grand last week and it was fantastic. On the 14-day itinerary, there were two Chef's Tables and I attended the second one as I forgot about signing up for the first one. I asked the Head Waiter in the Dining Room and he put me on the list. I thought I might not be picked as I have allergies to shellfish and don't like onions. I told the Maitre D that I would just skip anything that contained these foods and not to worry about it. However, the Chef made me alternatives to the foods that contained shellfish, which were delicious. A dinner like this, with the excellent wine, would probably have cost between $250 to $300 per person in a good restaurant so it was well worth the $75. We also got a mini wine tasting lesson as the wine steward explained each wine to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budamom Posted February 16, 2009 #20 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Perhaps I was scanning too quickly, but I didn't see the question answered about where/how to sign up for the Chef's Table. I'd love to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Woobstr112G Posted February 16, 2009 #21 Share Posted February 16, 2009 All this talk about the Chef's Table is getting me stoked for my Emerald cruise in Sept. Can't wait. On our recently completed Austrailian cruise on the Diamond, they unfortunetely did not offer the Chef's Table. I wasn a bit dissapointed....:( Bob Future: Emerald Princess Northern Trans Atlantic 09/09 Diamond Princess Aus/NZ 01/09 Emerald Princess Med/Trans Atlantic 10/08 Celebrity Constellation British Isles/Norway 07/06 Celebrity Summit Alaska Repositioning 05/05 Celebrity Summit Panama Canal 10/02 Rhapsody Of The Seas Alaska 09/01 Spledour Of The Seas Baltic 09/99 HAL Veendam Eastern Caribbean 07/96 Carnival Holiday Western Carribean 07/93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to know! You should plan to sign up just as soon as you can after boarding as this is becoming a popular event. You can either call the DINE number from your cabin and ask them to put your name down or you can go in search of the maitre d' (or one of his assistants); his office is just off one of the dining rooms. This is what I did -- I wanted to be able to tell him in person how MUCH I was hoping for the chance to participate.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Woobstr112G Posted February 16, 2009 #23 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Make sure you do it as soon as you get onboard. It will fill up quickly..... Good Luck Bob Has anyone started or thought of starting a spreadsheat to keep track of our roll call members, cabin locations, etc. We did one last yeear on the Emerald T/A and it was great. It was a very useful and informative tool and answered tons of questions we all had.
