losercruiser Posted September 17, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Hi, We are on the 10-day panama canal/costa rica cruise in November. Will we get the option to reserve candles for one or two nights? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducklite Posted September 17, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 17, 2019 When we were on the Surf everyone got to choose one night, but then you could check each afternoon and if they weren't full they'd let you book for that evening. One of our friends ate at Candles three or four time in a week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted September 17, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 17, 2019 The menu never changes so twice is more than enough imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cometman Posted September 17, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Make friends with the Reservation staff onboard...... ask to to let you know if a reservation opens up. It has always worked for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new_cruiser Posted September 17, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Initial sign up will be limited to one night so that everyone gets the best opportunity to pick their night. One night at Candles suits us but I expect on a warm weather 10-night it should be pretty easy to get a second night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faze41 Posted September 17, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 17, 2019 A little off topic, but I wonder if the new restaurants on the Star Yachts will also be limited to one per sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a long time since I've sailed on Wind Surf - what is the policy for Stella Bistro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misty Morning Posted September 18, 2019 #8 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Stella is same as Candles, once a week, but if you check regularly, I’m sure you can get in a second time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine. The Spanish place looks fairly small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtravel Posted September 21, 2019 #10 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Since Candles menu is fixed, we usually eat there once on a cruise. We often do b2b and only eat at Candles during the first week. The Aamphora menus change nightly and are very interesting. They add local fresh foods. Looking forward to the new Spanish restaurant. Would like to see Red Velvet cake return to Candles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that it’s no longer casual other people are welcome to our night. The food actually isn’t all that good and never changes. If I have to change for dinner it’s Amphora for me. Better food and better atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strenz Posted September 22, 2019 #12 Share Posted September 22, 2019 We love Candles. We love being in the open air. We enjoy the food. We always try to pick a night with a view ie., sailing past Stromboli, once we were asked if we wanted to go to Candles when we were leaving a busy harbor glorious with the lights and ships coming and going, leaving Oslo we picked Candles, late light, the fjord what could be better?Food is so subjective. I really dislike big buffets so the barbecue is my least favorite, but I like the Sangria they serve! Pick your night at Candles we think it is wonderful. Happy Sailing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtravel Posted September 25, 2019 #13 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Discussing this topic with my spouse. It depends on the ship and the climate. In warmer climates, we enjoy Candles sitting outside. We remember freezing in Stockholm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OctoberKat Posted September 25, 2019 #14 Share Posted September 25, 2019 During our July Alaska cruise aboard Star Legend, our group of five found candles to be decidedly ho-hum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
