Aussie One Posted April 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Is the passport bar still in use has the gastropub taken this over thank you Aussie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted April 16, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 16, 2018 No sign of the Gastrobar this cruise. The staff tell me to check again on the Southampton cruises and it MIGHT return for those sailings. They said that’s why it still shows on the Eclipse deck plans. I think it’s more likely, however, that it’s still on the website’s deck plans because nobody in the IT DEPARTMENT can figure out how to edit the website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanb41 Posted April 17, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I can only speak for the Solstice which beside the art gallery on Deck 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted April 17, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Isn’t that the World Class Bar? Did it ever serve the Gastropub food menu ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanb41 Posted April 17, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Never had a premium drinks package so never visited. Pretty sure it is the same just a change of name and concessionaire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted April 17, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Gastropub and Workd Class Bar are two entirely different venues. The World Class Bar was formerly the Mocular Bar. They have a limited drink menu drinks are at the price point of the Premium Beverage package and up. They only serve drinks from their menu, no beer, wine, soda, etc. The drink menu for Gastropub on the Equinox, which is where we saw it, was geared to craft beers, some wines, and maybe liquor. It was in the space thst was formerly Cellar Masters on Deck 4. We liked it for a glass of wine before dinner or to watch sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanb41 Posted April 17, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Thanks Jelayne. The Solstice still has Cellarmasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffinz Posted April 17, 2018 #8 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I can only speak for the Solstice which beside the art gallery on Deck 5 We were on Solstice a week ago and the passport bar was definitely on deck 3 opposite guest relations... the one you are referring to is the 'world class bar' on deck 5 - which we never visited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s more likely, however, that it’s still on the website’s deck plans because nobody in the IT DEPARTMENT can figure out how to edit the website�� :') On most ships, we noticed that the signage onboard (little pictures of ships on each floors) still states Bistro on 5 and not Sushi on 5 - wondered if it was another cost cutting measure i.e. no point changing as no doubt the venue will be changed to something else shortly, especially after being ‘Edgesized’ :evilsmile: :D.

I was confused with the world class bar and what was previously the old Molecular bar. There is no Gastrobar yet on the Solstice and the Passport hasn't changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted April 17, 2018 #11 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Not to confuse the discussion but I thought at one point the Gastro menu would be offered during certain hrs on S class ships that did not have the dedicated space, which is only on Equinox ..???? We wont be back on S class for awhile.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix_dream Posted April 17, 2018 #12 Share Posted April 17, 2018 They still have the bar on 3 on Eclipse (not sure what the current name is). It has a selection of craft beers, but does not have the food options like Equinox does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted April 17, 2018 #13 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Hcat, I think that’s my point. They tried to do just that on the S-class Eclipse, offering the Gastropub menu in Passport Bar on occasion. It failed and they stopped doing it.

The beer cooler remains. Even when they had the menu at certain time in 2017 at the Passport bar, I never observed anyone eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie One Posted April 18, 2018 Author #15 Share Posted April 18, 2018 main Question is the Passport Bar deck 3 still being used on the Eclipse thank you Aussie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted April 18, 2018 #16 Share Posted April 18, 2018 On Eclipse Passport Lounge on Deck 3 is a Bar, not currently serving the Gastrobar food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagoffee Posted April 18, 2018 #17 Share Posted April 18, 2018 main Question is the Passport Bar deck 3 still being used on the Eclipse thank you Aussie Yes. Except for the addition of the beer cooler with an expanded list of beers, the Passport Bar is the same as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miched Posted April 18, 2018 #18 Share Posted April 18, 2018 The Passport Bar is still on the 3rd deck on the Eclipse. When it is or ever acting as the Gastro Bar (never seen it as that on the Mar 18, 2018 cruise ) it still operates as the Pasport Bar with the exception of having the food menu available. It is the same on all ships that list the Gastro Bar. Nothing changes except for having food available for purchase. Drink up 🍻🍹🍸🥂🍾 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks..guess we'll have to wait for our next cruise on EQ to try it,. Last time it was often closed...we arrived too early....or sports on TV with many fans present...too loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
