All about Carnival's The Chef's Table

The Chef's Table is a VIP food experience with wine, hors d'oeuvres, and a course after course of unique food offerings not found elsewhere on the ship. The ship's head chef will craft the menu, so each ship will have a unique menu that will change over time. During the event, the chef will give you a galley tour and, during the meal, explain all the courses as you embark on this culinary experience. A small selection of red and white wines are included with your meal. This exclusive experience is limited to only 14 guests at a time, so it's best to book early using the Carnival Cruise Planner.
