My guess is it will because if you are Nobu you want it to return as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Stickman1990 Posted March 15, 2023 #27 Share Posted March 15, 2023 No idea what the menu will be in Umi Uma but this is what it was back in February 2020 - yum - lots of favourites on there plus all the sushi and sashimi dishes 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crickette Posted March 16, 2023 #28 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Officially, it now has to be "big" news. CruiseCritic decided it was significant enough to send me an e-mail! A nice change from "book your next cruise $99 per night" !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I got an email about it also, with photos and lots of information about how many free Umi Uma bookings you could get per cruise, etc. Edited March 16, 2023 by Cruise-y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't book a Crystal cruise just because it has the Nobu restaurant named Umi Uma, but the restaurant is one thing (among many that hopefully return) that make people return to Crystal. You get one included dining experience at Umi Uma with all cabin categories Sapphire and lower. After that, if space is available, you can dine there again for $50. Dining at a Nobu on land would start at about $150/person and the sky's the limit from there. Patty Thank you! I wouldn't book or not book because of one restaurant. I was just confused because it seemed like a lot of fuss about a minor thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is pretty super for cruise fare. Really good. And since everyone wants the "old" Crystal back, this is just one more thing.

Rare Keith1010 Posted March 16, 2023 #33 Share Posted March 16, 2023 The e-mail I received was from Crystal Cruises. I didn't get one from Cruise Critic. This from the Crystal e-mail. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The available cakes can be run off the mill but the icing can make a true difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually surprised they didn't have what I think is the most Nobu of all Nobu dishes, the Yellowtail Sashimi Jalapeno. I could have sworn I had that dish onboard, but maybe not! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nnn Posted March 16, 2023 #40 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Dear Mr. Nobu, Please join our cruise to Alaska July 9, 2024. I'll happily pay $1,000 again for a re-creation of the dinner & sake you served us at the sushi bar in 2018. 😆 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Stickman1990 Posted March 17, 2023 #42 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Further coverage from Seatrade https://www.seatrade-cruise.com/hotel-operations-concessions/master-chef-nobu-matsuhisa-resumes-crystal-partnership? I noticed some are complimenting the new decor in Uni Uma but I saw one article that included those photos from the press release that noted they were renderings as opposed to actual photos So unless someone can confirm they’re actually photos and the works been completed it’s a case of time will tell as to just what it looks like - on both ships 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted March 18, 2023 #43 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Renderings. At the same time, in the Q&A it notes several public spaces will be updated so likely since these are renderings that this venue will be updated but as they say "time will tell" and it will be only months when this is known.
