Royal Caribbean Cruise Line has wonderful specialty dining options on all of their ships.  They all have some variety of an Italian restaurant and I've tried Jamie's Italian on the Symphony of the Seas and now Giovanni's Table on Liberty of the Seas. The restaurant is located by the Windjammer Buffet, tucked off to one side as you enter the area.  Once inside, the atmosphere is dark and cozy, very different from the buffet hectic world outside the doors.  There is an open kitchen along the one wall and windows along the other.  The restaurant is a set upcharge, and then you can order whatever you want from the food menu that is to your liking throughout the meal.  Giovanni's is actually undergoing some changes on a lot of RCCL ships, but Liberty hadn't had those changes yet so it was still the "old" one, which was fine by us. We had an amazing meal here, and wouldn't hesitate to come back again on a future cruise.  You might see Giovanni's Kitchen

When the Walt Disney World Resort reopened in July 2020 after an extended closure, there was a big change to the way we plan a visit to the theme parks. In addition to requiring valid admission, Disney now requires guests to make a park reservation using the Disney Park Pass system. If you haven't been back to the theme parks recently, this new process can be confusing but we at Kingdom Konsultant Travel are here to help!  Here are some frequently asked questions about the Disney Park Pass system: What is the Disney Park Pass System? The Disney Park Pass system is a way for guests to make a required reservation for one of the four Disney theme parks on any given day. Although originally a way for Disney to promote physical distancing in the theme parks, the Park Pass system appears to be here to stay as it allows Disney to continue to manage attendance at the parks. All guests ages 3 and up must have a park reservation in addition to their theme park ticket in order to enter the t

I recently sailed on Royal Caribbean Cruise Line's Liberty of the Seas for my Honeymoon.  The trip itself was quite amazing, but we had a special dinner at Sabor that wasn't on any pre-planning options.  While at dinner at the Chef's Table earlier in our cruise, a nice gentleman from Sabor came by and told us about a similar experience they were trying out at that restaurant.  Of course we decided we had to give it a try! We got the menu to look over and our host for the night came to greet us and go through what to expect etc. This was a new thing they were trying, so we didn't really know much about it going in other than "if you liked the Chef Table, come try this!" He was wonderful, and we had a great time with him. We were at a big table off to the side as you went in (our whole Chef's Table party decided to go for this, so we were old friends at this point!) The table was semi-private, but still somewhat part of the normal dining area so we could pee

Chef's Table is a bit of a staple on Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, described by the cruise line as "as VIP and intimate as it can be," it is a perfect splurge for foodies on a cruise vacation. The Chef's Table is available on select sailings for an upcharge, and is not included in any specialty dining packages.  The fee  includes the wine pairings which are premium bottles you wouldn't be able to order with a Deluxe Beverage Package either.  The Chef's Table only holds up to 8 (or 10?) diners each evening, so it is quite the exclusive affair.  On the Freedom Class ships, the Chef's Table is a special level in the Main Dining Room, but on other class ships it can be located in different places (for example, in a back room in Chop's Grille.) "Welcome to Chef’s Table, the most exclusive and elevated dining experience on our fleet. Join an intimate group of fellow foodies on a private epicurean journey led by the ship’s Chef de Cuisine.
