Orleans Parish Supper Club — Specialty Dining on Hero of the Seas

Attire: Formal Attire

Cooking Classes

These family-friendly cooking classes will allow the smallest cruisers to make fun recipes and the more advanced to learn and practice kitchen skills like chopping and baking.

Additional Fee: This will be a paid-activity

First Impressions: As a foodie, Cooking Classes are one of my favorite activities to splurge on when traveling. You learn new skills and recipes as well as gain some cultural insights.

I’m curious to see what kinds of “courses” they will be offering. It seems this is very family-geared which is great for those with littles.

Let’s see if they add any courses that would pique the interest of more mature cruisers and experienced home cooks and if the courses will be destination-inspired. 🧐
