Anyone know exactly what the chef/program entails? Is this a demo or special dinner?

MIAMI, Feb. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebrity Cruises' guest chef theme cruise program, "Savor Your Destination," is serving up a roster filled with gifted culinarians who will participate this year, among them renowned television personality Chef Sara Moulton.

 

Recognizing that vacation time is precious, Celebrity created "Savor Your Destination" to give food and wine enthusiasts more ways to experience a memorable and enjoyable trip. In 2011, Celebrity will present a total of 12 guest chef theme cruises on its award-winning Solstice Class ships. Each cruise will offer food-and-wine themed activities that complement Celebrity's overall premium experience, emphasizing the love of fine food and wine. Activities may include a meet-and-greet cocktail reception, guest chef-led cooking demonstrations highlighting techniques and ingredients, book signings, and a "Star Chefs" cook-off featuring an interactive cooking competition, complete with a special recipe booklet featuring the guest chef's creations. For a fee, guests also can participate in hands-on cooking classes led by the guest chef in the ship's galley, or enjoy an exclusive food-and-wine-pairing dinner designed and presented by the guest chef in either Murano or Tuscan Grille, two of the five specialty restaurants onboard.

We did this on our November sailing on the Solstice. I signed up for the cooking class but I don't remember the price, probably around $25.00. I did attend but unfortunately, my back was bothering me and when I found out it would be at least 3 hours of standing in the galley I decided to leave. After the class the group had lunch from the items they cooked. X generously refunded my fee.

 

We did the chef's dinner which was held in Tuscan Grill and included wine. Everything was excellent but the portions were huge and there were 6 courses. We were told that the chef brought all of the food on board with him. There did not seem to be many other guests taking part in the dinner which might explain the amount of food we were given. The price was similar to Murano's wine paring menu.
