Northernroots Posted February 20 #1 Share Posted February 20 I’m sure this has been asked before, but there doesn’t seem to be a “ search for topic” facility on CC forum? We start our cruise on 2 March on Encore and have the Source app but when I click on TK under dining it doesn’t offer a booking option? Will I just be given a slot or am I missing something?

Earthtones Posted February 20 #2 Share Posted February 20 You need to make reservations on the website, not the app. Or call! At this point, I'd guess the limited number of reservations available to be made prior to embarkation may be gone. If so, you can make your reservation on board.

Techno123 Posted February 20 #3 Share Posted February 20 Another way to try is go to the relevant day in the app - it gives you the option to book Soa, restaurant or excursions for that day. That worked for us last year 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northernroots, the search function link is the magnifying glass icon at the top right of the page on my laptop and smart phone. There are options to search by topic, title, date, etc. The search function does always return the info you want,and Earthtones and Techno123 answered quickly.

Others have answered your question about making a reservation at the Grill by Thomas Keller. I agree that the CC search feature is not very intuitive. To search, click on the magnifying glass near the upper right of the CC page you are on. Then select "Topics" under Content Type and below that select the specific board on CC you want to search using the drop-down menu under Cruise Critic Community. Here is an example of what I'm talking about: Fair winds and following seas! 🛳️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluewaters Posted February 20 #6 Share Posted February 20 The ability to book Keller reservations online closes 15 days prior to the cruise, so that is why you can't make reservations currently for your March 2 cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northernroots Posted February 21 Author #7 Share Posted February 21 Many thanks for all your responses. Certainly we’ve missed the 15 day online booking window so that answers that. Answers re search function on CC very helpful as I’m looking for some feedback on excursions. Thankyou all 😁👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artlee Posted February 23 #8 Share Posted February 23 We will be on Quest shortly and they have Solis instead of Keller. What is the scoop on why Seabourn is changing the restaurant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the scoop on why Seabourn is changing the restaurant? Because many people, not all, were tired of the repeated menus from TK and wanted change. Also the TK contract was ending and since it soaked up a lot of budget from F&B it probably impacted other restaurants budgets. The last comment is speculation on my part. I am one glad of the change as I liked the ambience in TK but was bored with the menu as we sail frequently. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we agree that the menu needed a major update, we do think that Chef Keller could have easily assisted in such a venture. I do hope that the change to Solis is not an excuse to lower quality.

westmount Posted February 24 #11 Share Posted February 24 I’m.on the Sojourn next month, and they are closing TK for week to reopen as Solis, presumably an updated replacement for all to enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. The TK table crudities of carrot and celery sticks was weak. The 50's/60's American supper club theme went the way of the Dodo bird and hasn't been seen since for good reasons.

christraveller Posted February 25 #13 Share Posted February 25 Throwback? Sure. but… Healthy. Nice feature. Count me in with the pro- veggies crowd, along with my dietitian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the rest of the menu which had a lot of meat and in the case of Lobster Thermidor and even dover sole there was a lot of butter. The lobster Mac & cheese had a lot of cream and depending on the night either a decent amount or very small bits of lobster. I'm waiting for the reports of the new Solis as I won't get to try it till next year as my next cruises are on Pursuit and Regent Explorer.

Joc123 Posted February 25 #15 Share Posted February 25 I’ll be happy to see the outside deck available for dining. The TK menu didn’t suit our taste, dishes were very heavy, cream and butter sauces are too rich for us these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on the quest from the 26 April so we will be able to comment then; It really appeals to me but Alf is more of a carnivore!! Update soon..
