Solárium besito at night without reservation

[mcatmcat]

Hi [emoji3]

 

I was wondering if I really need a reservation for the solarium bristo or not.

 

Thank you

Depends on too many variables. If you show up at 5:00 probably not. At 7:00 quite possibly yes.

Perfect I just booked the whole week 730pm since I don’t really know which day we are going to

Thanks[emoji3][emoji1360]

Hence the problem with allowing reservations without requiring payment.

My thoughts exactly Bob!

Just an FYI if you are on Oasis. The evening menu never changes during the week. It is the same every night.

Yup! First we had chair hogs, so now do we have restaurant hogs?

 

Btw - the cruise planner only allowed me to book one night for an upcoming cruise.

That's great about the one night restriction. If they didn't have that, Royal would likely have to start charging, like they did for the character breakfasts because people would book the entire cruise so they had "flexibility".

Maybe it’s fully booked with people who have made reservations but won’t show up.:rolleyes:

That's not really fair to other people

I was able to book it for 2 nights when we were on the Oasis in April- And we DID eat there twice:halo::halo:

It doesn't change on any ship that has one.

Solarium Besito? Solarium Bristo?

 

Just thinking back to our two Oasis dinners in the Solarium Bistro, I think a few of the starters (soup for sure) and deserts were different the second night. Not important but certainly worth at least one night's dinner.

That’s pretty mean to others who might want a chance at booking.

Seriously?

[shippmates]

We are sailing for the first time on the Anthem an will check out the solarium Bistro. Will not make reservations until we decide if we are eating there and on what night. If reservations are made for the entire will are you going to remember to cancel the ones you are not using. I really wish people would think about other people not only themselves. Enjoy your cruise.

How rude and thoughtless. Your ghost reservation may keep someone from getting a reservation because you can’t make up your mind.

Ovation has two menus in the solarium one week at a time.

There was talk of a small charge I heard somewhere.next season in Australia.

just a token amount $7?.

We only make less than 1% in each sailing so the impact will be none or minimal. Also, if I knew before hand the daily MDR’s menu I couldn’t have to book the whole week.

 

I’m sure we are already sailing in a company that is not really fare to us so don’t worry that much about the middle man

Not because I can’t make my mind because they allow me to do it so why not?

Try again, I have the whole week booked

 

Btw, chair hogs are not allowed by the cruise line and employees monitor them but i haven’t read anything about booking a restaurant for the whole week and not showing up.

I assume you have fixed time dining? If you have My Time Dining, you do have to choose between reserving a time for that dining or for the solarium - you can't do both. If you have fixed time dining, I'm wondering if the wait staff will be prepared for you to show up at all, since you have reserved seating for every night. I'd hate to be pushed into an undesirable table with the worst reviewed customer wait staff b/c they didn't think you'd be showing up...

Because it’s so obviously inconsiderate and rude, people don’t need to be told. I guess now they do!

yeah 2nd seating I think you can only book the whole week if you have fixed time because I had 730 for the solarium ( whole week) and the regular 830 plenty of time to pick what I want from the Solarium bristo then head to the MDR. Also , requesting a table and using your status helps a little bit to be placed on the best spot or just get early on boarding day and see where you are seating ;)
