Has anyone done Chefs table post covid?

[gsilva]

Thinking of booking chefs table on March cruise. Wondering with mask protocols how they are seating 14 people who may not know each other. Do not feel like sitting at a table and then have to bite and cover. Anyone know if business as usual at chefs dinner? Really enjoyed the last one we did and would like to do it again.

Did one on the Miracle in August. There was no galley tour, we were seated in the dance club, long, long table, with some distance between. Wore mask in and out, but not during the meal.

I went to the Chefs table in October on the Dream and no masks all and 14 people at one long table elbow to elbow. That was before the heighted protocols in effect now. I am planning to book Chefs table on my upcoming Feb 28th Breeze cruise and hope its the same as the October.

On the Valor last month, it was treated like the MDR -- masks to enter and leave the room, but not while you were seated for the meal.

Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll be enjoying a chefs dinner in March.🙂

Did it this week.  Meal was in conference room, not kitchen.  No kitchen tour.  Masks we not required once seated.  You were sat with other parties.  No distancing from other parties (it was 6 people on one side and 8 people on other side at a table)

I did one back in August on the Mardi Gras.  I didn't feel like it was any different other than there was no tour of the kitchen.

No different than our local buffets here , Went last night , I 'd say 150 people in the place , Mask are not required here , very few seen , No gloves and everything is self serve , Seating is  normal  as it was pre covid  , This is Arkansas , We are living life as normal  pre covid

Glad to hear you will get to enjoy dining at the chef's dinner. (Did one myself many years ago-what a great experience!)

When I read your title, about post covid, I thought, how can this be? For me,  we are still in the pandemic.  Others may  feel differently.

Maybe the OP meant after the restart of cruising.

You wouldn't happen to have the menu from the Miracle?  I'm thinking of booking. Boarding on the 20th 👍😃

Possibly, but I was saying we're still in the pandemic, due to the requirements for testing, masks, social distancing, only vaccinated cruises, etc. I know many people still cruise with all these conditions, but it's not for me-just a personal choice. For all others, enjoy your cruises!

How long does it last?

Chef's Table lasts about 2.5 to 3 hours.

My daughter did the Chefs Table last week on the Panorama, it is completely back to the way it was pre Covid. It included a galley tour and making the chocolate melting cake. She said it took 3 1/2 hours and was fabulous!

Thank You

We sailed Carnival Horizon 8-day this week and every night there was a Chefs Table. No one was wearing a mask when walking into the galley. It looks like things are back to normal.

We did Chef's Table on the Mardi Gras on her second sailing. We took our masks off as soon as we were seated.
