blueridgemama Posted September 19, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Thinking of doing the Chefs Table on Oasis of the Seas. Does any one have any experience with it on this ship? Wondering where it is held and what your opinions/thoughts are. We have enjoyed it on Carnival and Princess. They were both held in an intimate private room with a small group. Wouldn't want to do it if it is just held in the MDR. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ownedbypets Posted September 19, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 19, 2019 It is held in an area that separates the suite lounge and Coastal kitchen. We have done it twice on Oasis and had a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it's quieter than doing it on one of the staircase landings in the MDR or in Windjammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have taken our chances every time and not booked ahead because I try to get a better price on the ship. I have never paid more than $50pp. I think if you want a specific night or might be disappointed if it's booked you might want to reserve ahead. The first time we did it on Oasis it was only us and another couple but the second time the table was full. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time we had it reserved for the first night and when we got there we were the only ones so it was cancelled. They let us choose any place else to eat at no cost. We rescheduled for another night and it was just us and another couple. After a little too much wine the other couple said they were sitting in the suite lounge and asked if they wanted to try Chefs Table and they said they couldn't refuse a price of $25. I said I thought we got a good price at $50 and at that point the manager matched their price for us. Well worth it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very private (think of an executive board room)....and only quiet until everyone gets some wine into them. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two that we have done were both in private rooms and were quite intimate. If I am ever on a Radiance class ship I will definitely reserve.

Rare Ukigirl Posted September 20, 2019 #18 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Wow, it’s $85 per person for Majesty November sailing. Think I’ll wait to see if deals will be offered onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueridgemama Posted September 20, 2019 Author #19 Share Posted September 20, 2019 On Princess it is only offered once or maybe twice and it was very elegant. Maybe since they're doing it more frequently it has become less special. Even on Carnival it was done in a private room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truluv Posted September 21, 2019 #20 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Uh oh. I just paid the $85/pp to try it on Jewel on my Greek cruise - leaving in about a week! I thought trying the Chef's Table would be a nice surprise for the foodie son who agreed to take this trip with me (this is my bucket list/retirement trip). Hope it's worth it LOL.

Any tips for someone trying the Chef'sTable for the 1st time? Isn't Jewel one of the Radiance class ships? According to one of the previous posters those ships did the Chefs Table very well. The ones we have attended were quite wonderful with food prepared and presented elegantly. I would imagine your son would enjoy it. If you are definitely wanting to do it then I would keep your reservations as I think $85 is reasonable for a 5 course meal paired with wine. But you could also take a chance and wait to see if it is offered on board at a lower price. Either way it is a special experience that you should do once.
