Royal Caribbean Debuts Chefmakers at Sea Program on Freedom, Liberty

Royal Caribbean International has partnered with Chefmakers Cooking Academy, a cooking school dedicated to aspiring home cooks of all ages, to bring cooking programs to guests aboard the Liberty of the Seas and, beginning this fall, the Freedom of the Seas. The program is available at an additional cost and features more than a dozen classes that are taught in the ships’ galleys.

The hands-on classes range from $40 to $125 and include topics such as Knife Skills, Quick & Easy Fish and All About Chicken, plus social and interactive cooking parties like Asian Persuasion, New American Cuisine and Surf & Turf. Piloted aboard the Mariner of the Seas, the three-hour programs are open to guests ages 18 and over.

Participants receive their own Chefmakers apron and recipe cards for all menu items prepared, as well as complimentary wine based on class selection. Guests will also have the opportunity to purchase the kitchenware and utensils that they learn to use in the classes.

Children ages 4 to 11 can participate in one-hour Kids with Kids Baking class, where they prepare homemade sweet treats, like mini-puff pastry turnovers, and learn lessons in chemistry and kitchen hygiene. Guests may register and learn about the specific classes online using the Chefmakers pre-board reservation system. Private Chefmakers at Sea programs also will be available for corporate groups and for families.
