Clarea Posted April 3, 2016 #4 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Flowrider, Chops, Izumi, new staterooms no Rita's or Sabor Someone posted the other day that they've backed off on Izumi now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted April 3, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Someone posted the other day that they've backed off on Izumi now. Thanks Bob. Down to 2 specialty restaurants, that's dissapointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted April 3, 2016 #6 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Thanks Bob. Down to 2 specialty restaurants, that's dissapointing. The poster also said that Izumi was going away fleetwide. Have not heard this elsewhere yet. We may have a data point soon, as Jewel goes into dry dock tomorrow, and Izumi was planned to go into the Seaview Cafe spot.

I think it was you who mentioned in a different thread that Sabor would appeal to a much wider audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken at the beach Posted April 3, 2016 #10 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Sabor on Serenade was usually EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY. Isn't it Rita's on Serenade? From what I heard Rita's on either Allure or Oasis was EMPTY as well but packed now that it's Sabor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, I don't believe Sabor has made it to any Radiance class ship yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted April 3, 2016 #12 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Correct, I don't believe Sabor has made it to any Radiance class ship yet. That's what I thought. Just read a review of Rita's on another site and it wasn't favourable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted April 3, 2016 #13 Share Posted April 3, 2016 That's what I thought. Just read a review of Rita's on another site and it wasn't favourable. On Radiance class ships Rita's is more of a snack place. I don't believe it serves full meals. One of Royal's more dismal moves, along with putting 20 specialty restaurant on Radiance. OK, I exaggerate, I think it was only 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabor gets our vote, green stuff is very good:D Hopefully they consider for Adventure and Jewel, we will find out soon Sabor on Allure always had people waiting to get in at 11:30 opening time and Would say 1/2 full on opening, we enjoyed a couple of times. Now if Adventure only has Chops and Giovanni's , will be a 3/4 for us:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted April 3, 2016 #15 Share Posted April 3, 2016 ... Now if Adventure only has Chops and Giovanni's , will be a 3/4 for us:D She should have space for a total of 3 specialty restaurants, we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I certainly don't fault them for trying different restaurants on different ships but I don't understand keeping one version of a Mexican restaurant that is obviously not performing well up and running while they clearly have a winning format for another Mexican restaurant. You would think that doing a conversion to the new format could be done while the ship is still in service. Yes they may have to shut the restaurant down for a while to do the renovations but it would pay off in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that Toby misses from Chops is the bacon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoGurl Posted April 3, 2016 #21 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Flowrider, Chops, Izumi, new staterooms no Rita's or Sabor When you say "new staterooms," do you mean they are adding additional staterooms somewhere, or that they are redecorating the old ones? Or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted April 3, 2016 #22 Share Posted April 3, 2016 When you say "new staterooms," do you mean they are adding additional staterooms somewhere, or that they are redecorating the old ones?

Or both? I'm assuming that they will add cabins to deck 12 like they did on Explorer, Navigator, Freedom and Liberty as well as a few other areas of the ship and freshen up the existing cabins. http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/ships/ship/decks/deck/home.do?deckCode=12&shipCode=EX&shipProfile=1676&sailDate=1160412&hasNavigation=false Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that Toby misses from Chops is the bacon. Even for us eating at Chops twice and Giovanni's only once was a first. We had good experiences at Chops and the steak that week actually WAS better than Giovanni's. Mind you lemons in Italian restaurants could be to blame. Danish or Canadian Bacon, can't beat it:) Off topic: Did you see the dive link, very reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
