CruisersTimesThree Posted July 23, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 23, 2016 The Reflection was the "test" ship for Sushi on Five and these are the dates that each ship are planning on or already did the changeover. (Copied and pasted from a post by Celebrity Cruise) Implementation will roll out across the fleet as follows (dates are subject to change): Millennium 5/12/16; Silhouette 6/7/16; Solstice 7/1/16; Infinity 7/24/16; Equinox 8/6/16; Constellation 8/28/16; Eclipse 9/17/16; Summit 10/16/16.

AtlantaCruiser72 Posted July 23, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) I'm really curious how the introduction of Sushi on 5 will affect the menu offerings in Silk Harvest on the Solstice and Equinox, as they offer quite a few crossover types of food items. I think 2 Asian themed restaurants may be a bit much and hurt both venues from being money makers on these ships.

Beanb41 Posted July 23, 2016 #4 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Has sushi been removed from the buffet in an attempt to continue the price gouging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwb3843 Posted July 23, 2016 #5 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Will there be any chance of finding a banana and Nutella crepe anywhere on board after the conversions take place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I&J Cruisers Posted July 23, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I see no date for Equinox. Are they not going to make the change on Equinox. We were on Reflection after the change. They no longer have sushi I on the buffet. However the menu in such I on 5 bears no resemblance to the buffet offerings. It includes foods other than sushi and is very creative and delicious. We had lunch there 3 or 4 times and enjoyed it very much. In our opinion this is a huge improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I&J Cruisers Posted July 23, 2016 Author #10 Share Posted July 23, 2016 That was Sushi in the buffet? I thought it was a cruel joke! I agree. The sushi served in the new restaurant is the real thing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantaCruiser72 Posted July 24, 2016 #11 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) That was Sushi in the buffet? I thought it was a cruel joke! It was technically sushi, but of a very pedestrian variety ...... :D I'm still interested to see how the addition of sushi on 5 affects Silk Harvest on the Solstice and Equinox - will they change the menu, replace it with a different restaurant concept ......... I think the two concepts overlap a bit much for most cruisers. Also of note was that the sushi at Silk Harvest had traditionally been part of the cover charge, whereas Sushi on 5 is all a'la carte ......

davwen81 Posted July 24, 2016 #12 Share Posted July 24, 2016 There's been some great reviews of Sushi on 5 so just search in the celebrity thread and you will get lots more info. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celebrity Cruises Posted July 26, 2016 #13 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Has the bistro on five been converted to sushi on 5 yet. If not does anyone know when that is scheduled to happen. Due to the overwhelming success of the Sushi on Five pop-up restaurant on Celebrity Reflection, the decision has been made to make that restaurant permanent, and to roll out Sushi on Five in place of Bistro on Five on the remainder of our fleet. Traditional Japanese sushi and modern take on Japanese dishes. Authentic Japanese cuisine with menu crafted by Yoshikazu "Yoshi" Okada. Variety of premium, super-premium sakes imported from Japan. Also, artisanal Japanese beers and innovative, crafted cocktails exclusive to Sushi on Five. Roll-out Schedule (dates are subject to change) Millennium- 5/12/16 Silhouette- 6/7/16 Solstice- 7/1/16 Infinity- 7/24/16 Equinox- 8/6/16 Constellation- 8/28/16 Eclipse- 9/17/16 Summit- 10/16/16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Barracuda Posted July 26, 2016 #14 Share Posted July 26, 2016 That was Sushi in the buffet? I thought it was a cruel joke! Never knock free. Wonder what if anything they'll add to the buffet to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovescarborough Posted July 26, 2016 #15 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I'm not sure how well Sushi will go down on the Eclipse sailings out of Southampton as many passengers are British. Personally, I hate it and it's not really that popular in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gergles Posted July 26, 2016 #16 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Never knock free. Wonder what if anything they'll add to the buffet to replace it. I believe I read that they've added more pizza and pasta selections during the hours sushi used to be served. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
european73 Posted July 26, 2016 #17 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Will Silk Harvest be gone? And what about Q-sine - I feel that concept is getting really old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CELTICGIRLCRUISER Posted July 26, 2016 #18 Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) I'm not sure how well Sushi will go down on the Eclipse sailings out of Southampton as many passengers are British. Personally, I hate it and it's not really that popular in the UK. I think it is quite popular in the UK these days, maybe not with the older generation but you just have to look at the success of places like YoSushi. However saying that I did read earlier today that when it was cruising out of Southampton, on three nights they did pop up Indian instead, as that obviously appealed more to the British crowd on the ship. Now that would appeal more to me too rather than Sushi which I don't actually mind. Edited July 26, 2016 by CELTICGIRLCRUISER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peteymil Posted July 27, 2016 #23 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I enjoy sushi, but never thought the Oceanview sushi was good. I was afraid sushi on 5 would be the same. We were on Silhouette for the July 13 cruise and had dinner at Sushi on 5 three times. I think because of the newness of the restaurant they were offering a 30% discount. Each night we would try a couple of appetizers and a couple of rolls. The rolls were huge. The food was absolutely delicious. It was 10 times better then the sushi that was in Oceanview. Each of the three nights our bill was under $30. It was totally worth it. I know there are people that don't like sushi, but they are never going to please everybody. For those of you that do like sushi, I think you will enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
