LewesBeach Posted March 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I read somewhere, but can't find it now - that they are starting to phase out Curtis Stone's "Share" and replace it with a revamped Sabatini's. Is this true? Will the Sabatinis on all ships be changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floridalover5623 Posted March 25, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Maybe you're just reading some comments made by myself & other posters though. Great news if it turns out to be true. :D Anything but SHARE. It wasted a great location for any other restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LACruiser88 Posted March 25, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I believe Curtis Stone contract was for 5 years. I don't seeing it going away before then, but should not be expanded to any more ships. Sabatini's menu should be seeing a change soon, so I've heard...

Iowa Traveler Posted March 25, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 25, 2017 When we were on the Caribbean Princess several weeks ago, an officer at our Meet & Greet said Sabatini's would be changed during drydock. We all assumed he meant switched to "Share". He said no, it was NOT being changed to Share. FWIW... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe something back to the old menu with a few new items thrown in. :D:D That would definitely be great news! :D Hopefully they'll keep a few of my favorites such as the burrata appetizer & the 3 wonderful pasta choices. For me the main courses are the least enjoyable part of the otherwise good dining experience. When one of the "lobster 3 ways" is lobster bisque sauce that's weak to me. I'm curious to read opinions about the French restaurant on the Majestic. Based on the promotions I've read it already sounds much better for me than SHARE. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senior lady Posted March 25, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 25, 2017 When I was on the Ruby last month they told me only certain ships have Share. Lisa Ball also said that they are trying to make the different class of ships all a little different.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted March 25, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Since Princess has not added SHARE fleet wide as originally planned, seems it's not the success they hoped it would be. Hopefully, when the contract runs out with Curtis Stone, it will be "Bye-Bye" SHARE. ;) (yn) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissDave Posted March 25, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Sabatini's has been rubbish for the last few years. Once they went to à la carte they ruined it. Paces like Share, Salty Dog etc are a welcome change for the younger cruiser as they are more modern contemporary venues. Asking crew on Emerald, when Share was new, if it was going fleet wide they even said no, and that was only 2 weeks after the first sailing with it. So it was never going to be fleet wide despite what some people think or want to believe. Share will be around for a while yet. Just need to fix the old boring menu in Crown Gill now.

Alfredo's Pizzeria doesn't have a fee & hopefully the same for these new options. However the Sapphire's Lobster Grill does have a nominal fee so it'll be interesting to know how these new venues will operate. With the Caribbean's drydock beginning tomorrow it's odd that these changes have no information about something that had to be in the planning stages for a long time. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partybarbie Posted March 25, 2017 #17 Share Posted March 25, 2017 The Grand Princess has the remodeled Sabatini's. When I was on her in January, the menu was the same. It's very modern looking now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting...why make Sabatini's very modern looking now? :confused: The decor was fine for me but it's the menu that could use some modifications. Wonder if the modernization is the first step of replacing Sabatini's with another type of restaurant. Or is the modernization still a very Italian theme?

partybarbie Posted March 26, 2017 #21 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Yes, I enjoyed eating there. The kitchen is very open and you can watch the chef prepare the food. We went on the last night and we were one of about three tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted March 26, 2017 #22 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Sort of liked the old look better but the new look isn't bad. Is the menu still basically Northern Italian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the photo although I prefer the original more traditional decor over this more modern black & white decor. Although the decor isn't as important to me as the menu which hopefully will be modified keeping some of my favorite appetizers, pastas & desserts while having some new entrees.

mrs and mrs Posted March 26, 2017 #25 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Reading between the lines and sort of knowing someone in the know, share actually will be expanded, in conjunction with Sabatini's. Sort of like a cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
