Chef's Table on Princess?

[NYLady]

We noticed on other cruise lines a "Chef's Table" is being offered. We would very much like to sign up on our upcoming Princess cruise, if Princess is also doing this. Anyone know?

 

If Emerald Princess has a Chef's Table does anyone know an email address where I could book it?

 

Thanks!!!

On embarkation day call the "DINE" line on your cabin telephone to get placed on the list.

 

Or speak to the Matre d'.

 

Or ask at the reservation table that is set up for the specialty restaurants.

Food & Dining: The Chef's Table

 

 

The Chef’s Table is designed as a special treat for dining enthusiasts, and offers the rare opportunity to be welcomed into the inner sanctum of the ship's galley to enjoy a full evening of memorable sights, tastes and conversation hosted by the executive chef.

 

While many passengers are able to enjoy galley tours during the quiet off-hours, the Chef's Table experience takes interested diners behind the scenes during the height of dinner preparation where they'll also enjoy Champagne and hors d'oeuvres, followed by a special multi-course tasting dinner paired with selected wines in the dining room.

 

The Chef's Table begins when the Maitre d' personally escorts the passengers to the galley where they can observe the bustle of dinner-hour preparations and meet the executive chef, plus enjoy Champagne with appetizers. The chef previews the details of the menu he created for that evening, and the group is welcomed to their special table in the dining room.

 

The multi-course menu is specially created by the chef, and is not offered anywhere else on the ship. The fare might include anything from a focus on regional cuisine to a showcase of indigenous ingredients from a recent port. Each course is accompanied by a detailed explanation of special features, preparation methods, and tasting suggestions. Specially selected wines complement the meal. During the dessert course, the chef rejoins the group at their private table to participate in a discussion about the evening's meal, answer questions, and share culinary secrets perfected during many years of experience at sea and on land.

 

Additionally, each couple at the Chef's Table will receive a personalized, autographed copy of Princess' best-selling cookbook, Courses, A Culinary Journey, which has sold more than 100,000 copies worldwide and is available on amazon.com. Passengers will also enjoy a complimentary photo taken at the private table with the chef.

 

The Chef's Table experience can be reserved by up to 10 passengers per night, at an additional cost. Reservations are made onboard through the ship's DINE telephone line or in person at the dining reservations table set up on the first day of the cruise.

Remember not to set your heart on it though. Due to the limited numbers, on some cruises it's oversubscribed.

I assume they book solo travelers for the Chef's Table, but do they charge more? It says they give one cookbook per couple, so would it cost more per person for a solo? Also, I read that at one time you could book it without the alcohol for a lower price. I'm not a drinker. Do they still do that?

Same price for a solo traveler.

 

Still charge (about $15) less if no alcohol.
