Never done it on Carnival, but we did the sushi-making class on board the Empress of the Seas five years ago. It was a lot of fun, as was having people stop by our dining room table afterwards and ask where we'd bought we sushi. ?

In the dining section, just like you would book a specialty restaurant. My husband took the bar-b-que class on our last Panorama cruise and I've booked us for the pasta class on our upcoming one. It is around lunchtime, so it will be lunch. The bar-b-que class, they delivered the meat to our table at dinner time as of course there is not enough time for it to cook during the class.

The Excellence class,[1][2][3] including the sub-classes Helios class[4] and XL or Excel class,[5] is a class of cruise ships ordered by Carnival Corporation & plc for its subsidiary brands AIDA Cruises, Costa Cruises, P&O Cruises and Carnival Cruise Line. The ships are being constructed by Meyer Werft at their shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, and Meyer Turku at their shipyard in Turku, Finland. The first, AIDAnova, entered service for AIDA Cruises in 2018.

The Excellence class are the first cruise ships in the world to be dual fueled by liquefied natural gas (LNG) and traditional fuel oil, which is intended to make them more environmentally friendly than traditional, diesel-powered ships.[8] Each ship is expected to cost $950 million.[10]

The first four ships in the class suffered delivery delays. The delays of AIDAnova, Costa Smeralda and Mardi Gras were attributed to the ships being the first to be fueled by LNG, design complexities, difficulties coordinating subcontractors, and the large size of the ships.[3] The delay of Iona was due to a temporary suspension of operations by P&O Cruises, and slower construction progress, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[11] Mardi Gras was later delayed until 2021, also due to the pandemic.[12]

SPOILER WARNING!!!!

I will be giving some details on the Whiskey Master Class we took that are specific to the class on the Carnival Vista.

Since it was our first time taking this course, I have no way of knowing if they are all the same, or if there are differences.

So if you want to go in completely surprised, then stop reading and just know that we LOVED the class and HIGHLY recommend it!

We went down for the Sign-Up only to learn that the class is actually the next day.

This is due to the amount of prep necessary for each student.

And the class is actually a lot more than we thought it would be.

Aleksandar explained that rather than a simple "tasting", we were informed the class would include a history on Scotch Whiskey, as well as a tasting of 9 different whiskies and at then end of the class, we would blend our own whiskey to take home in a 100ml bottle.

We were warned that we should make sure to eat before the class, since we would definitely not want to come on an empty stomach.

At this point Aleksandar looked us all in the eyes with great seriousness and intensity and stated "I'm not even kidding. You do NOT want to show up not having eaten!"

We show up for class and our "Chemist" Aleksandar (from the sign up) led us into the "secret area" the class would be held, which turned out to be the back dining room of the 555 Fahrenheit Steakhouse (conveniently located right next to the Alchemy Bar on the Vista).

There was a long table with what looked like laboratory setups. Each chair had a white lab coat draped over it, emblazoned with the Dewar's Whiskey and Carnival logos.

It was at this point we realized that the class was sponsored by Dewar's.

Turns out the class lasts 1-1/2 hrs!

The class was less a lecture and more discussion, as Aleksandar led us from the purpose of alcohol itself (medicine), when Scotch was invented (around 1494 was the first distilled Scotch Whiskey) and on to the differences in Scotch Whiskey - single malts, double malts and blends.

It was very interesting and informative since I am what you might call a basic scotch drinker (I prefer an inexpensive Speyside). I now know the difference between a single malt and a blend, how long a scotch has to be aged before they can print the "years" on the bottle and many other facts I wrote down because I knew I would forget.

We were asked who mixed their scotch with Coke Zero ( I do), who mixes it with Dr. Pepper or any other soda (a good portion of the class).

We were then informed that we were wrong, since that is apparently an unacceptable way to consume whisky.

Water or ice. But it is never to be mixed with sugary drinks.

After much Q&A, where most of us were fruitlessly trying to ignore the buffet of whisky laid out in front of us, we were finally led into the sampling portion of our lesson.

We began with the four small snifters, moving from left to right.

The first snifter we swirled around like wine to see the way it glistened in the light and to watch the body and legs slowly drain down the sides to pool at the bottom of the glass.

Then we held it to our noses and inhaled the rich aromas.

Aleksandar quizzed us on what we could smell. Other students noted hints of spices or fruits or vanilla. I just smelled scotch.

We were instructed to take a drink, swishing it around our mouth. Let it sit on one cheek and then exhale.

This actually did improve the scotch flavor, helping it to develop (in my mind, at least).

More questions about what we could taste (fruits, spices, vanilla, oak from the cask, etc.)

At this point, I realized my palette must be pretty unrefined since I couldn't taste any of that other than the oakiness.

My ego was soothed a bit when G leaned over and said "I don't taste any of that. I just taste scotch".

Good to know we were on the same level!

I tried another drink, which drained glass 1, trying to taste these elusive "notes" and "flavors".

Maybe it would get easier to discern as we progressed.

It was revealed that we had been sampling Cutty Sark.

With 9 different whiskies to sample, I'm sure you can see why they told us to make sure we ate ahead of time.

I'm very glad they gave the warning, since the class started at 1PM and it would have been easy to skip lunch.

Armed with 2 glasses to compare, we held them either to the light or against our white lab coats.

Glass 2 was definitely darker, with a richer color.

We learned this was due to the amount of time it had spent aging in the barrels.

More swirling, sniffing and swishing, more proclamations of fruitiness, woodiness, etc. and more of me just nodding along and "trying" to smell or taste it.

This one had less bite and tasted a bit smoother. I like it pretty well.

Revealed to be Chivas Regal.

"Learning" from our first glass, most of the class had Aleksandar come refill our second snifter so we could proceed to comparing it to the third (this became something of a ritual because, why not?).

The third and fourth were both Dewar's products (the sponsor) - White Label and Dewar's 12 yr respectively.

The first test tube was filled with what Aleksandar generically labelled "Grain Whiskey".

My favorite of the class was the 3rd Test Tube, which was Macallan Quest Highland single malt and then the 4th test tube which was a Speyside 12 yrs single malt (not sure why I didn't find out which one)

The last test tube in my opinion tasted like drinking Liquid Smoke, however G declared that to be his favorite. It was an Ardbeg 12 yrs.

I generously gave him the rest of my test tube to finish it off.

While I blended my bottle from test tubes 2 and 3, I also managed to get a refill on Snifter 3 and put a good bit of Dewar's White Label in there as well.

Since a few in the class had gotten chatty, and there was a bit of cutting up (blame it on the free refills) the class wasn't actually over until about 2:45.

We found out that D wasn't feeling well and had gone back to the room, so G accompanied Cupcake and myself to what was a very fun and hilarious (to us at least) Afternoon Tea.

Thanks for the comprehensive review! I took this class on Victory and it was identical to what you described so it must be pretty standard. I loved it as well, and would definitely do this class again on another cruise.

It was listed in the Fun Times and on the Hub App as: Whiskey Class Sign Up.

Just look under "What's Happening" and the afternoon section should have it.

On our 7 day cruise the sign up was on the 2nd day at 4pm (first sea day) and the class was on the third day at 1PM (also a sea day).

They had a second class that was held on Friday, with sign ups on Thursday.

The class is limited and fills up pretty quick, so make sure to get there for the sign up right as it happens.

Also, since they have to prep, they generally don't accept any "walk ups" for the class. You "have" to sign up the day before.

We seriously considered taking the second class, since we had so much fun. But ended up busy with other things.

But we will definitely do it again on our next cruise! I may even make Cupcake join me next time!

It would be a perfect bonding moment. The class was informative but informal enough that there was plenty of cutting up and many laughs were shared.

What was interesting to me was the difference in people's tastes as well.

The whiskey that I thought was best, only a few others enjoyed, while some of the ones I couldn't stand were favorites with some of the other students. It just showed the variety of style and taste people have.

It also exposed me to several brands and styles I wouldn't have paid to try. But at least two of them will definitely find their way into my cabinet now! e24fc04721
