Creator's Key Takeaways

the service was exceptional the venue itself was elegant and with great ocean views and the food in general was of a very high standard

this is certainly a great experience if you're looking for a special evening with multiple courses

my main criticism is that two of the dishes are promised to be prepared tableside and that wasn't the case

we could also hear the jacuzzi right above us bubbling away throughout the evening bit of an Elegance breaker at times

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a table at the Epicurean using your cruise personalizer approximately two weeks in advance
Allow two and a half to three hours for the whole experience
Ask in advance if you want to see your Crepes Suzette being made tableside
