Gem 9 Night Eastern Cruise Dining Questions

[slicerboy]

We are booked on the Gem 9 Night Eastern Carib cruise out of NYC and wanted to know what nights do they offer the chefs table and what night does the dining room have lobster night. After a few calls to NCL, no one is helpful? We want to book specialty restaurants but not on the Chefs Table and lobster nights. HELP??

Can't help with the Chef's Table schedule; I have seen it vary from ship to ship...sometimes being held twice, etc.

 

...but, lobster night in the MDR is usually the first night of the voyage.

What is the Chefs Table?

 

a special multi-course meal paired with wines for each course. If you do a search for chef's table there was a great review with pictures of each offering. I think its a $75 upcharge but I'm not sure about that.

It was $79 last year but I think it went up to $89. We did it last year and hope to do it again. You can't book in advance though so do it as soon as you get onboard. They only have room for a small group and it sells out quickly.

On our 9-day in January, Chef's Table was originally scheduled for Sunday (day 3) and Tuesday (day 5). My husband and I were booked for the first, but they called the day of and told us they were cancelling both from lack of interest. Granted, there was a large Kosher contingent on our sailing, as it was Yeshiva break week, but it was very disappointing nevertheless.
