Empire Supper Club

[CruisingHogFan]

Bookings finally are open and looks to be the rumored amount of $200. 2-3 hours and formal attire only. I think we plan to try it in June.

 

I can’t wait for the “it’s my vacation and I ll wear what I want” crowd to complain. 😂

That venue still sounds like some campy British drama show.

2-3 hours is too long for me. 

[cruisetorelax44]

We booked it for the inaugural... will report back.

In this case they have jackets that they will lend you as it is formal.

Nope

Royal continues to offer a little something for everyone. 

 

I'm not sure how big the venue is but on a 6,000+ passenger ship, no doubt they will have no problem selling it out in spite of the $200 price tag & formal dress requirement. 

 

At least in the short term.

Suit jacket is not for formal, I did wear a tux on all my cruises from mid 1980’s to late 2010’s , maybe 1 in 30 dressed formally on last few cruises.

200.00 is the starting price. I am sure as time goes by and it sells out it will become moreexpensive like the Beach Club,water parketc.

Jumpsuits for men, right? I'm thinking something along the lines of Elvis, but without the cape. Maybe the RC logo in blue and gold sequins on the back.

Why "without the cape"?  😉

Now rather than the dress code police making their inane "if you wanna wear shorts, go eat in the Windjammer" argument, the rest of us can just say "if you wanna dress up, go hit the Empire Supper Club."

I'm glad they finally have a place of their own!

My cape is still at the cleaners.  I hope my ascot will suffice.

I wouldn't consider having to wear pants and a normal shirt in the MDR dressing up.
 

If you have to wear decent clothes (pants) to a nice restaurant on land then people should also be forced to do it on a ship….

$70 PP discount for UDP but full price for Star Class ?  That makes no sense.

It seems like it would be hard to eat like this - I'd end up spilling my wine.

If...

 

Seriously though.  Good for Royal for making a dining space with an actual dress code, unlike the MDR or other specialty dining.  Now people who want to wear their finest for dinner can finally dine with like-minded folks.

I remember the days that if you wear shorts you had to eat in the windjammer that was a long time ago , too bad.
