This is a question for "whoever" might be able to answer it. Normally there are TWO formal nights. Is one of the formal nights considered the champagne tower/the Captain greeting everyone on board to his ship, and then one a regular formal night? Maybe the champagne tower/Captain greeting everyone is not quite as formal, but it can be?

That was our formal night. We don’t have another. Day 6 is “dress to impress.”

If anyone wants to compare that chef’s table to the one I had on Carnival Magic, you can see that one here:

I am interested in how you compare the two experiences. Which one do you feel was better>

Also the drink order to your cabin, does it have the room service fee?

No service fees. I do give them a cash tip though.

I got to Alfredo’s 10 mins early. Waited for about 5. Finally someone who knows what’s going on takes me to the actual spot which is like a separate area by Alfredo’s. 
 

Apparently I missed the memo that you need to be there 20 mins early. Everyone was there and left no room for me. They try to squeeze me into this corner. I’m like man. I hope this isn’t the table.

 

This is my spot.

 

 

 

 

Unpleasant is the word I’m using, not the word I’m thinking

The presentation is beautiful.  How was the food?

Wow, that chef's table looked pretty nice. A whole lobster tail and a filet? Sign me up!... 

[luvcruzing]

I hope they told you how to eat all those fancy dishes, such as the “hamburger.”

That would definitely be a "holy crap"! 

Hugs!

Great review @Saint Greg! Do they still give you the cookbook after the chef’s table? Have you checked out the adult only Retreat bar and pool area? That is one area I loved on the Royal. Enjoy the rest of your cruise!

That Chef's Table looked awesome. I did it on Carnival Horizon and Allure of the Seas recently. I thought Carnival's food/presentation was really good, better than Allure's. Yours definitely looked on par or better (depending on actual taste!) than Carnival's.

That first plate they bought with like six items. I think I only liked the Greek salad. But after that plate I liked everything else.

No cookbook. We got a folder with the menus and our picture with the chef and dro

Uh oh, you've got 15 drinks ahead of you, better start chewing.

Those look like good specials. But I missed MDR breakfast. I don’t know if I can eat breakfast today. Kind of weird to not feel hungry after not eating for 12 hours..

There’s a discrepancy between the dining room times in the all and the paper. 
 

I am a fan of blueberry pancakes so I’m going to give it a try.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

Here you go.

Restaurant manager was there and walked me to my table asking about last night.

 

I’ve got my MDR dinner waiter Oleg. He said he saw me going to chefs table last night.

 

[Saint Greg]

[Saint Greg]

I told Oleg I didn’t think I could eat but I like blueberry pancakes so I’m giving it a shot. He recommended I try the other special as well.

 

[depplep]

"I don't think I can eat." "Have the other special as well." ???

Appreciate the photos of Chef's Table.  We did Chef's Table on our first Princess Cruise, and said then it was too much food, but we were about to talk ourselves into doing it again on our upcoming cruise on the Regal.  Thank you for reminder that it truly is just too much food (for us).  Plus the wine (except for the champagne) looks pretty "meh".  I think our money is better spent elsewhere.
