We are on sky princess right now and I have to say the main dinning rooms service and food is disappointing but sabitines was amazing food so going back. Felt there is not enough staff in main dinning rooms and food has been lukewarm so far
Oh I’m sorry to hear that, you should definitely mention it and see if something can be done about it, because it really wasn’t my experience. On the plus side, I see Sky Princess from my window 🤣 - welcome to lovely Funchal
Great video. I’m curious. The same people at the table in the beginning weren’t the same at the end. Did some leave or have to leave? Or did some arrive late? Thanks
I'm so glad I watched this before booking Lumiere for our upcoming cruise. As I was afraid of, there isn't anything on the menu I would eat. Great video. Thank you.
Excellent video, Joe. You seemed to be the only person around that expensive table who was intent on doing a serious food review rather than being an Instagram poseur. I’ve said it before but I really feel that you have the beating of Mark Wiens in the food commentary stakes. Mark is entraining but constant eye-rolling and food shock-jockery can be a little tiresome at times. Not so your good self. You keep it real for those of us value politeness and humility.
Thanks Joe ☺ I'm trying my best to lose my excess lard but it's all gone out of the window with this video as I'm now ravenous! It was pure class when they served Madeira wine & I'm glad you managed some covert shots of Ainsley! I'm sure he'd be OK with that! Enjoy the rest of your week my friend 🤗
TY, Joe. My husband and I embark on Sky Princess in a month. Can you remember which night of the week you dined at the Chef Lumierre Table (e.g. Wed. or Thurs.)? I plan to sign up for that dining experience first thing when we board, but I am also trying to schedule other dinners that week. I just can't find information about which day it is usually offered. Cheers.
My pleasure! I just asked about that for you and apparently it varies from cruise to cruise so your best bet would be to there straight away and get it booked. As I hope the video showed, it really was worthwhile. Don’t miss The Catch by Rudi too (I have a video there) and say hi to Kitcha front of house at that restaurant for me :)
@applelake1939 we decided not to try this afterall, on our 12/2023 Sky Princess sail. But IIRC, it's best to sign up (for consideration, mind you) as soon as you embark. Pick up a house phone and call dining, or at guest services desk ( long line possible) or if you're a full suite guest, then your concierge in the concierge lounge (I you have one) are your best bets. And from what I researched, refrain from any diet requests (unless you have to!) because that might affect whether you're selected for the meal. Just signing up does not guarantee a spot at the table. You are selected.
@@hungrytoexplore ahahaha okay $1,000,000 to make NOT book, i'm sure everybody thought that when they read the title lol. If i made a video stating i'm going on a $800 000 000 cruise, most people will assume it the price of the cruise, NOT the cost of building the ship hahaha CLICK BAIT i'm afraid
Just love your food descriptions, finally someone who says more than ooh, aah, so juicy ... Plus you were the only person who seemed to actually review the foods rather than trout pouting posing from others. Plus you respected the privacy of others, well played. Also been interesting to see life aboard a cruise ship, ive only ever had a lunch aboard, in port in Liverpool a few years ago, which was deliciously presented, excellent service etc but the ship was old and in dire need of some tlc, i believe it has since been scrapped . Really enjoyed this series aboard a ship. Well done.
Thank you so much, I have it in me to say ooh ahh, so good, when I cannot think of anything else hahaha. I am happy that you enjoy the content, something slightly different from my usual. It was fun to make.
If i was on that table i would rather interact with the people than have a go-pro shoved all over the place spoiling the whole night for everyone.... just so he can make content for his vloggs And he absolutely filmed practically everybody, NO privacy for anyone. He stated he doesn't want to film Ainsley but then goes on to show his face in alot of shots
@@hungrytoexplore your video's and your job as an influencer clearly show your lack of intelligence. Nobody else was creating content, was just you waving your go-pro around. And if you think anybody would be jealous of you as a content creator, then you are dellusional lol. Your a chump with a camera who influences very little in this world
@@hungrytoexploreI hadn’t seen prior to the video all guests were content creators. Happy to find out that was the case as I wondered too about lack of privacy and all the narrating through the meal. Makes sense now. I did enjoy your video
Love the thumbnail, classy
Haha thank you
Same as you

thank you! haha they were, I think people just moved around to talk to each other. It is a closed experience.
I'm so glad I watched this before booking Lumiere for our upcoming cruise. As I was afraid of, there isn't anything on the menu I would eat. Great video. Thank you.
how and when can you book this special dining experience?
board the ship as early as possible and go to guest services ASAP.
Great experience! Thanks for taking us with you.
my pleasure, I am glad that you enjoyed it :)
Thank you so much for sharing this unforgettable experience. I am one of Ainsley Harriott's fans.❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it! It was an honour to sit next to him
I'm doing this in Sept, but it doesn't seem like a meal I'd like. I'm too low brow. lol

I appreciate that!, thank you. I am certainly glad that I am able to make long form content and have fun with it haha. Thanks for your kind comments
I'd prefer a more private setting for the anti-socials. lol...
Thanks Joe ☺

Haha now you can see where I got my extra pounds from
Haha i thought that lady in the purple dress at the Chef's table was going to give us a peek way under there 🤷🏽♀️😂
Haha thankfully not 🤣
สวัสดี ครับพี่Joe☺ อาหาร น่าทานมาก ครับ.
It was amazing :)
Ooh fancy, you’ve finally made it 🎩
Haha with some better branding maybe
Thanks for your service.
My pleasure! thanks for watching
Going on the Discovery to Alaska and definitely booking this!
you will love it but you need to be FAST to get a reservation
Where is Joe Abroad?
In the mud 🤣! I’ve streamlined to focus on what works and have enough time to make sure it works. Live and learn
@@hungrytoexplore what happened? I watched every video. My dentist was gone too 🙊
@@starkfamily898 I was just spending all my time editing and no time for anything else. I want to make my life more simple
I was about to ask that too. Was the channel gone ?
Hiya Joe, hope you are having a wail of a time. Thanks for taking us on your holiday
My pleasure Max, happy you are enjoying it

Bet you wish you’d worn a jacket!
🤣 I didn’t have one! I didn’t realise we would have such a fancy meal. I had to use what I had got haha
Bit of a CLICK BAIT title putting $1,000,000 in the title. What exactly was the million dollars for?????
It’s not clickbait if it’s true! The table cost 1m dollars to make!!!! No clickbait. The maitre d’ explains it very clearly :)

@@charlesjay8818 make that video, see how it does - I look forward to watching it
@@charlesjay8818if only you just understand English... 😂

Thank you :) I practice every day 🤣
Too awesome Mr Joe.. 👌
Amazing wasn’t it Vu
This is a perfect cruise if you have been on a deserted island for a few months and need to pack on all the weight you have lost .
Hahahaha it’s not so great if you’re already carrying extra timber like me! I expanded like a hot air balloon hahah
😂@@hungrytoexplore
Brilliant, i`m thrilled, wow ! Joe you have an insane experience, stylish with super delicious food ! Great kitchen staff what a Joy
