Rare cr8tiv1 Posted January 15 #2 Share Posted January 15 Welcome to Cruise Critic. Unfortunately, Princess does not offer a “captains table dinner”. The Sky Princess has a few alternative (for $) dining options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pretty fabulous meal and surrounded by a crystal Lumiere curtain. The first experience probably will blow you out of the water. Sign up by calling the dine line when you board. There is usually a waiting list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said enjoyed it. Worth the cost? I wouldn’t think so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love the WineMakers dinner when offered for $40 pp. Aside from the Catch by Rudi, one time, it was the best meal I’ve ever had on a cruise. But then, my DH can’t eat that late and I just can’t eat that much food in one sitting. When it went up to $130 pp or thereabouts, I gave up on the idea altogether. I wouldn’t even do the 360° experience, as for that cost, I can upgrade to the premier package and not only get 2 specialty meals pp, but also unlimited casual meals, nicer wine, photos, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the new "standard" menu and a higher price...it's one and done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nini Posted January 15 #10 Share Posted January 15 We very much enjoyed the Chef's table on the Grand and the Sky. It was when it cost less (@$115.00 with alcohol). The venue was elegant and gorgeous. Presentation was lovely. However, at $140.00 we will not participate. On the Grand in September 2022, we received a beautiful hardback cookbook and our photographs at the dinner. This one was in the Crowne Grill. On the Sky in June 2023, the dinner took place at the large round table in one of the dining rooms. It had the beautiful round "curtain" around it. We received photographs, but no cookbook.

azzy Posted January 15 #11 Share Posted January 15 I didn't realize it went up that much and the menu changed. It was excellent for $115 but I'm not sure at $140. The 360 I would pay the $200 I think they will be asking. We did it twice and it was incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKCruiser007 Posted January 16 #12 Share Posted January 16 On the Ruby in November, we attended the Chef's Table (with the standardized menu,) Caymus Winemaker Dinner, Super Tuscan lunch, and did the Ultimate Balcony dinner. (Was doing, umm, "research.") I would rate the from best to worst: Ultimate Balcony Dinner, Super Tuscan Lunch, Chef's Table, and last was Caymus Winemaker Dinner. I did like that now the Chef's Table did not have an overwhelming amount of food. We could eat it all, and enjoy the dessert. Especially on ships that have the Lumiere, I would recommend Chef's Table, even at the higher price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I've done my homework now and see that UBD is $55 per person and the winemaker dinner is $140 (with multiple reports that as recently as last year it was $40). Can anyone chime in on the other two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone chime in on the other two? The Chef's Table is either $135 or $115 per person. The Super Tuscan lunch was $100+ per person, too. (I forget.) The best thing to do, I think, is talk to the Sommelier when you board the ship and ask him the options and prices for your ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 57eric Posted January 17 #16 Share Posted January 17 Thanks, but not sure how to find the Sommelier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
