RJ2002 Posted February 18, 2009 #51 Share Posted February 18, 2009 In the sheet of instructions that come with your invitation to the Chef's Table, it is stated (among many other things) that no open toe shoes will be allowed in the galley, no shorts are permitted, and all clothing worn to the event is to be freshly laundered. :) I did see one woman in our group wearing a bit of an open toe...not sure how much of an open toe they would allow. Definitely not open sandals or flip flops. It's supposed to be safety measure...in case a knife were to drop on your foot...or maybe you might drop your glass of champagne on your foot as you are taking another appetizer from the white-gloved waiter. :D Cindy This thread has really got me interested.... I didn't realize the Chef's Table event was even out there! Apologies if this was mentioned elsewhere, but I couldn't find it... is the Chef's Table held in the evening, or is it during the day?

jlp20 Posted February 18, 2009 #52 Share Posted February 18, 2009 As a rule, we do Sterling “International or French” night, which as a rule has been the third night of a seven day cruise. We plan to sign up for the Chef’s Table on our upcoming cruise on the Star. From photos posted on the web, it would appear one of the chef’s night is the same night as “Italian”. What is the usual second night for the “Chef’s Table”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHIPMEOUT Posted February 18, 2009 #53 Share Posted February 18, 2009 This thread has really got me interested.... I didn't realize the Chef's Table event was even out there! Apologies if this was mentioned elsewhere, but I couldn't find it... is the Chef's Table held in the evening, or is it during the day? The Chef's Table is held in the evening. It will usually begin between 7:00-7:30. Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHIPMEOUT Posted February 18, 2009 #55 Share Posted February 18, 2009 As a rule, we do Sterling “International or French” night, which as a rule has been the third night of a seven day cruise.

What is the usual second night for the “Chef’s Table”. I don't believe there are "set" nights for these dinners. It would vary from ship to ship, depending on the number of people interested, and the itinerary of the cruise. They will usually try to schedule them on sea days or at least on a shorter port day where passengers would be returning to the ship well before dinner.

spny84 Posted February 18, 2009 #56 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I didn't actually attend the Chef's Dinner but we ate in the dining room on the CB (2/8 Cruise) that had the table set up (I asked the Maitre D what it was). It was done on at least 3 nights in the Island Dining room (Tues, Wed, Thurs). It wasn't in our dining room on formal nights (or I missed it) and I didn't see it on our last night (which was a sea day). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khuff7 Posted February 18, 2009 #57 Share Posted February 18, 2009 We did it on the Crown...it was a great experience and totally worth the cost. We did it the first week of a B2B and saw them do 3 more during the rest of the cruise. Something tells me that they try to accommodate everyone who registers interest...

Rare cruisemom42 Posted February 18, 2009 #58 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Just wonder how many would try the Chef's Table if Princess required a smaller service fee? :confused: Probably more than they could handle for this type of special evening. Sounds like they are having no problem filling several "chef's tables" per cruise at $75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnerchilcott Posted February 18, 2009 #59 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Just off the Caribbean Princess on 2/15/09. My wife and I really enjoyed the cheft's table. The subject of open-toe shoes was a addressed at the meeting the day before and the ladies were told not to worry about that requirement. My wife was releaved because the only shoes she had with her that were not open toed were her tennis shoes - not a pretty picture with her dress, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
