When sailing on the Majestic Princess, if you’re a foodie, be sure to sign up for the Chef’s Table Lumiere. It is quite popular and there’s no guarantees that you will receive an invitation but your best chance is to ring Guest Services and put yourself on the list on Embarkation Day.
If you’re successful, you will receive a letter in your State Room advising the date. The Chef’s Table does cost a little extra but it’s well worth the money spent to enjoy a lovely meal with the Executive Chef and Director of Restaurant Operations explaining each meal as well as giving you an insight into the Food and Beverage services on Princess Cruises.
Seated in the middle of the Main Dining Room at a circular table, the table was soon surrounded by a gorgeous glass feature to enhance the experience. Firstly, served with copious amount of Piper Heidsieck French champagne we dined on Hors D’Oeuvres which included a Lobster Margarita (yum!!), an amazing Lamb Samosa with Tamarind Chutney and Foie Gras Bonbon Mon Cheri.
The whole experience has a perfectly matched wine selection from France, Italy and California and an abundance of food.
The courses included Risotto with Porcini Mushrooms and Asparagus. I am a huge Risotto fan and will usually order it if it’s on the menu so I was excited to have a perfectly cooked risotto as one of the courses on the menu.
Next up we had a Brie Tartlet with Port Wine and Walnuts, Almonds and Figs Cake. I’m not usually a fan of Brie but the Tartlet was lovely and left you wanting more.
Before being served our main, we were treated to a Fresh Strawberry Sorbet with Cracked Pepper and a splash (or a shot!) of vodka with a gorgeous blue sugar decoration. By the time the main was served, we were well and truly full but made room for Diver Scallops, Fillet Mignon, Butterfly Shrimp and Lamb Chop.
To cap off the meal, we were served Belgium Dark Chocolate Soft Centre Cake with Whiskey Soaked Raspberries which was absolutely delicious, well balanced and not too sweet.
Before we left the table we were each presented with a souvenir menu and photo of ourselves with the Head Chef and Director of Restaurant Operations.
It’s definitely an experience well worth signing up for, and we were told by another diner who had attended the Chef’s Table Lumiere before that the menu does change so the likelihood of you sampling different meals each time you have the opportunity is high. When we sail on the Majestic Princess in November, it will definitely be the first thing I will be signing up for when we board.
