Remy Dessert Question

[castawaykf]

My husband and I will be sailing in October and I would really like to do the Remy dessert experience.
He isn't particularly into sweets, but doesn't want me to miss out.
Does anyone know if he would be allowed to attend with me (without being served, of course) without paying the $50 fee?

Pretty sure if you attend you have to pay - he'd still be taking up a seat.

FWIW, I travel solo and have done many tastings (not the Remy thing...food sensitivities) solo and had wonderful times at them! People are very friendly, and I never felt awkward. If you want to do it and he doesn't, I'd consider going solo.

Wouldn't a solo diner be placed at a table for two on her own anyway? So the seat would be empty and it would not matter if a person is sitting there or not. And if the non-eating husband is sitting there, he might still be ordering drinks and therefore generating income for the restaurant.

I would suggest to get a reservation for one and go to Remy on the first day and talk to them. But I would be prepared to do the experience on my own if they say that he cannot come along. I agree with Dug720 that dining solo can be quite wonderful as well. And I would even prefer it to having someone sitting at my table watching me eat. But of course, that is just my personal preference.

For dining yes, if you are solo you are placed at a table by yourself in the specialty restaurants.

I don't know how they do the Remy tastings work, but I know the other tastings I've done it's been seats at tables or around a bar and groups mixed together.

Haven't done the dessert experience myself, but the impression I got was that you were placed on individual tables. Not like the martini tasting or such.
