pyffii Posted September 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Hoping someone can help with the current menus for both the MDR and OVC...thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted September 25, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2023 There are no menus that I have ever seen for the Oceanview. You can go to the app and select the current sailing for the Solstice and you will find the menus. For your sailing the order may be different but you will at least see the current menus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyffii Posted September 25, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted September 25, 2023 We are not sailing until December 2024 and with the current views on the “free dining options “ being invariably poor trying to decide if we should cancel….problem is we are a party of 6 adults and 5 children and so it’s an expensive cruise notwithstanding the headline booking price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so remember that this site is called Cruise “Critic” many post to complain but less than 10% of passengers are on these sites. Unless there is a reason to cancel now by not read some reviews ( not just posts on this board) and get a broader view. In the meantime check out alternstives. It seems most cruises lines have been makes cuts in food, service and/or entertainment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyffii Posted September 25, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Thanks for the reply….found some menus via the app and choices are somewhat limited but we could all get by I think….next thing is whether the choices as described are up to standard but that’s something that we can handle once onboard…many thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your sailing is over a year from now, so it’s possible there could be some menu changes between now and then, so I wouldn’t rely on what’s on the app today or even 6 months from now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyffii Posted September 25, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I understand the buffet concept and I guess what I was trying to ascertain was the variety and quality of the buffet….and I realise that there maybe more changes over the coming 12 months that may indeed reverse the current spiral to the bottom….fingers crossed for a positive improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted September 25, 2023 #8 Share Posted September 25, 2023 With the cruise so far out, why not focus on all the positives..dining and menus may change and quality can vary for each ship and sailing. Maybe splurge by booking 2 tables at a Specialty venue all can enjoy..Once u board ask maitre d if you can be seated adjacently. Not sure what specialty is on Solstice but Lawn Club Grill, Petit Chef or Tuscan might be fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pyffii Posted September 25, 2023 Author #12 Share Posted September 25, 2023 thanks for all the updates and it seems the constant theme is repetition and variable quality in the MDR...We quite like the buffet so fingers crossed we can all get some variation at the Oceanview Cafe....the grandkids should be ok with the Mast Grill although some reviews suggest otherwise...Pity that the food standards have dropped to where mediocre is now acceptable....And as we're paying for 11 guests not an option to go specialty dining I'm afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As many bad reviews you are reading, on other social media sites people are praising how wonderful the food has been on their recent cruises. Maybe you should book a land based vacation so you would have many more choices of where to eat, as it seems food seems to be a very big concern for you.

Lawn Club Grill is one of the main reasons we book sailings on the Silhouette. Can’t wait for our Feb cruise aboard her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
