jelayne Posted March 22 #2 Share Posted March 22 They had small group hands on cooking classes a few years back. DH did them a few times, ther were held in the kitchen at Murano. He enjoyed them but they were rather pricey as I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catspaw1 Posted March 23 #5 Share Posted March 23 Our first cruise was in the 80's & they had lots of things for free including the midnight buffet, napkin folding, bridge & kitchen tours, vegetable & ice carving demonstrations to name a few. Cruising has changed a lot & not for the better! Everything is an upcharge & nothing for free in the daytime anymore. I miss the good old days! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember most of the napkins designs I learned in cruise ships in the 80s and 90s! Your list brought back some fun memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lena11033 Posted March 23 #12 Share Posted March 23 (edited) The cooking class I went to someone turned up who was in a wheelchair and the galley wasn't accessible - I'd say some people aren't reading or not getting its not for everyone Edited March 23 by Lena11033 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare keesar Posted March 23 #13 Share Posted March 23 I recall the cooking demonstration classes that were held in the Grand Foyer. Recipes were passed out at the end and you got to sample the dishes. Miss those. When I came home, I made one of the recipes: Creme Brule. It came out really good. I also got some great tips from cooking my meal at the Lawn Club. Did that twice before the changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catspaw1 Posted March 23 #14 Share Posted March 23 If they lowered the price a lot or I had more OBC, I would do it. I am currently taking a French cooking class through adult education. 8 hours for about $130 including food costs. We always have enough to take home some also. I cook from scratch almost every day. Just made homemade tomato soup- far superior to Campbell's 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavias Posted March 24 #15 Share Posted March 24 How have those who took these classes liked them? We are already booked with other activities during the steak class but could do the pizza one. Just wondering how fun it is? How many people are in the class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted March 25 #20 Share Posted March 25 We did a number of classes back in the days of Olympic. The class was limited to 8 and was taught in the Olympic Kitchen. Afterward we were served a lunch with wine pairing. Of course the food we ate was professionally prepared. Don't recall the price but it was a lot of fun.
