CC82 ... We were on Seaside on two occasions, the first time we left it a day or so before heading to the area where the restaurants are and was lucky to get in as most evening bookings had gone, they were pushing lunch time bookings.

On the second cruise we went after we boarded and booked straight away, so I would certainly go on your first day onboard.

Thanks Sidari, this is what I needed to know!  I appreciate it!

Just for info. We were on the Grand Voyage from Venice to Durban last month - 24 nights. We had one voucher for LUNCH for two people in the only speciality restaurant onboard (Sushi restaurant). We queried this with the Loyalty manager as the benefits listed online clearly stated dinner and he said it would be fine to have dinner. The waiter in the restaurant disagreed and we had a lively discussion with the restaurant manager who eventually relented and said they would allow us to have dinner if there was a space. We were one of only 3 tables in for the whole evening. We enjoyed the food very much and booked to go back a second time - they were offering 30% off the price of dinner by then and again we were one of only 3 tables eating in there.

 We are going on the Seaside.  With the complimentary dinner for two it says from a "tasting menu".  Is this something different to the regular menu in the steakhouse?

Yes. It's the Experience dining menu. One choice from each section: one app, one main w/side and one dessert. 

It's a limited menu, but lots of choices, ie salads, soup, bone marrow, etc, sirloin, lamb chops, filet, etc and several different desserts. 

There's loads of photos of the Experience menu, both on here, and via Google.

Thank you so much.  I will have to check them out.

Here's a photo of the 'Dining Experience' menu in Butcher's Cut on Meraviglia; I've seen a menu from Seaside which I noticed that one item on the appetizer list is missing - the House Chop salad (which, IIRC, is listed elsewhere on the menu). I didn't notice any other differences - they'll be slight if there are.

I just received this yesterday.   I have no idea what thy mean only if cabin mate is not a black card member?  And what is with the self service buffet?    Is there a buffet at any of the specialties?    I will post the entire email to me.   My cruise is March 9 Seaside.

 

Black Members are entitled to enjoy a tasting menu dinner for 2 at a specialty restaurant once during the cruise (beverages excluded). Members may extend their invitation to one occupant of the same cabin only once and only if the cabin mate is not a black card member. Privilege and speciality restaurants may not be available on all ship classes. Privilege is not available if the members decide to eat dinner at self-service buffet. Members under 18 must be accompanied in order to enjoy the privilege. Members are not allowed to bring any outside beverages into the restaurant.

 

Here is the entire email I received only yesterday.
