Rare kjbacon Posted December 29, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I’ve been spot checking my seabourn account to see when I can book Solis for my upcoming cruise. Today, it was finally available to book for next year so you might want to check if it’s available to book on your 2024 cruises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ovener Posted December 29, 2023 #4 Share Posted December 29, 2023 For some reason it’s still called ‘The Grill’ under the dining reservations icon, but having booked it indeed appears as Solis. Perhaps a UK booking problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utopia1 Posted December 30, 2023 #10 Share Posted December 30, 2023 It is my understanding that Thomas Keller Grill on the Sojourn will remain in operation until the end of the World Cruise- They will begin renovations for Solis at the conclusion of the World Cruise. I was told this from what I believe to be a reliable source--but this is my only source.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Odyssey last month, I was told that TK Grill will convert to Solis during the World Cruise so that the full world cruisers will get to enjoy both venues.

It was named as Solis for my Sojourn cruise starting May 2nd. Perhaps that is the first one it's available on? It's a last segment of the world cruise starting in January so I wonder how they plan to change it during a cruise.

Rare alexandria Posted January 2 #18 Share Posted January 2 I'm unable to book Solis for a late March cruise on Quest (which I understand will be the first ship to convert from TK to Solis). It still shows Thomas Keller and the "RESERVE NOW" button does not function. I am curious...how do experienced Seabourn passengers decide what night(s) to book? I've always preferred to book any alternative dining after I've seen the MDR menus and can see if there is a night or two whose menu is less appealing than others. Also, does anyone have information on the expected capacity of Solis on the Quest? We'll be on for eleven nights with a sailing that is currently at about 60% full so I'm wondering whether it is even important to book in advance of sailing.

I've always preferred to book any alternative dining after I've seen the MDR menus and can see if there is a night or two whose menu is less appealing than others. We just reserved online for a late April/early May cruise on Encore. Website still said TK Grill on the booking page, but our confirmation shows Solis (and, obviously, the reservation button worked!). I would have chosen the first at sea day for each week of our cruise because I believe that's most likely to be "formal" night in the Restaurant and I'm not a big fan of formal (but have no issue with the Seabourn guidelines for what's considered "formal"). But those were not available so we picked days semi-randomly--one very early in our first week so we'd have an idea of how much we like it and will want to go back. In my experience, you won't see menus for the duration of your cruise, only menus for the next day every evening. Depending upon how full the ship is and how many people are loving Solis, it might be difficult to reserve the night before. But if you make reservations now, at least you have a placeholder and you can always try to change them when you have a better idea of what would be ideal for you. Also, you can always find alternatives at Earth & Ocean and the Colonnade if the MDR menu doesn't float your boat any evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare alexandria Posted January 3 #20 Share Posted January 3 Great points, thanks. I was able to find another area of the website that allowed me to reserve a dining time. And there was very little availability for our preferred "earlier" dining time (most nights only had 8pm or 8:30pm open) so I appreciate the suggestion of making a reservation now as a placeholder as we are now assured of one evening there during our preferred time. Our sailing of eleven nights only permitted one reservation but that should be sufficient with all of the other dining options on board. I'm sure there will be no shortage of quality meals during our journey! 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kjbacon Posted January 4 Author #22 Share Posted January 4 We like sea days for the specialty restaurant reservations. Less chance of splurging in a restaurant in port and more chance to enjoy a nap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
