brandy3415 Posted July 7, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I see on Harmony that the Solarium bistro is included in Specialty Dining choices but is 0 cost when put in the "shopping cart". At dinnertime, is this a buffet or waiter service restaurant? We have been there for an enjoyable lunch and it was buffet. so wondering about dinner.

Clarea Posted July 7, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 7, 2019 For dinner, starters and desserts are buffet, entree is waiter service. Some entrees are extra cost. Breakfast and lunch are buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me that if they are taking reservations, it would indicate it's not a buffet, but that's just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For dinner Harmony has waiter service for the entrees. Everything else is buffet. Symphony is the only Solarium Bistro I have experienced with all buffet dinner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be in your cruise planner regardless of whether it is waiter or buffet. I booked it for my October Harmony sailing a few months ago and it is available in the cruise planner for all of my bookings on ships with Solarium Bistro.

depplep Posted July 7, 2019 #13 Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) The only thing I see in my cruise planner is UDP, 3 nt package, And Chops, Jamie's, Hooked, Wonderland and 150. We're on Symphony.

icsys Posted July 7, 2019 #17 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Anyone know what the Bistro is like on Anthem? (buffet or waiter service). It is in our planner under speciality restaurants and open for reservations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmy4 Posted July 7, 2019 #18 Share Posted July 7, 2019 We were in Harmony solarium bistro two weeks ago. Nice casual dining. Limited light menu and less crowded. Waiter service for entree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did that change. We were on in March and while there were waiters they were only there to get your drinks and clear your dishes. You still had to go to the buffet to get your entree.

We got off Symphony the middle of May and dinner was still totally buffet. I rather enjoyed that it was different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
