acstall Posted August 31 #1 Share Posted August 31 We are booked on the Serenity cruise this December over New Year's Eve. We are paid in full so I went online to make restaurant reservations. All are available through December 31, but starting January 1 restaurant reservations are showing not available. That seems more like a system glitch rather than reality. Anyone else seeing this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTP2914 Posted August 31 #2 Share Posted August 31 We are on the Serenity also, as of today there are 121 days until that cruise. Try tomorrow!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted August 31 #3 Share Posted August 31 RTP2914 is correct. Cruise starts 12/30 and today we are 121 days out. If it's a problem later tomorrow I know who to contact to get it addressed. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to remember but if it's not open in two days please post and I will followup with the person who can get this fixed should it be a problem.

I reported it to my contact and got a response that they are following up. It's Sunday so it might take a couple of days. I have it on my followup.

Julie, The later dates for the New Years Cruise are now available for Umi Uma and Osteria. I've let Crystal know that Tastes is not showing bookable on those later dates.

juicyjuju Posted September 6 #10 Share Posted September 6 Thanks Keith. I'm hoping the new Italian menu will be rolled out by then 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juicyjuju Posted September 11 #11 Share Posted September 11 I was able to make a reservation for Osteria today but Tastes is "not available" for the whole cruise. All booked up for 9 nights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All booked up for 9 nights? Sheer speculation, but that might be part of the migration to Beefbar. If I were them, I'd shut off reservations for the old concept as the timeline came into focus so there were fewer reservations to either (a) have to migrate or (b) have to communicate the change to, and then just open the new concept in its pace when it's ready to accept reservations and everything can be communicated. Just a thought... Vince 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juicyjuju Posted September 11 #14 Share Posted September 11 Oh thanks. I had forgotten about that. I'm not really a steak eater I hope there's good non beef alternatives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patty LOL... It's scary (in the best possible way) how often we read something and think the exact same thing at the same time. 🙂 Vince 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juicyjuju Posted September 11 #16 Share Posted September 11 I looked at the NYC restaurant menu and there are lots of other choices, halibut, chicken, salads etc so I'm sure we will find things we like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take them with a grain of salt at this point since they will evolve and change to some degree, like all menus do with Crystal, but at least it gives you an idea of the concept. https://www.crystalcruises.com/beefbar Vince 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had advised them the other day that reservations could be made on any of the other days for Osteria or Umi Uma but not for Tastes and they are aware of that. It is being worked on.

Rare Keith1010 Posted 10 minutes ago #19 Share Posted 10 minutes ago Here is an update. For a few weeks we couldn’t add on a visit to Tastes, by the time of the cruise Beef Bar. I just checked now and it shows as Beef Bar and I made the reservation. On the cruise the week before it showed as Tastes but the reality is by then it will be Beef Bar. I was curious and I cancelled the tastes reservation and then when back in and it showed Beef Bar and I made it for the same date/time. As I mentioned I am sure the reservation would have just become Beef Bar but I just wanted to see how it worked. Here is an update. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
