I think you might be confused as the pool Solarium is for 16+ but the dining venue is open to everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerC1 Posted June 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 I just saw another YouTube video in which they say Solarium Bistro is adults only. Has anyone sailed recently that can confirm or deny this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many ships have an entrance for this venue from the elevator lobby but even if one ship doesn't, guests of all ages can transit through the Solarium when required, they just can't stop and stay in the Solarium adult only area unless 16+.

Whether or not that's actually enforced is another matter. RogerC1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerC1 Posted June 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Thank you both. Guess I will just have to wait and see on my sailing which way it goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Done Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 I have seen other posts that said the Solarium Bistro was closed for dining during their recent sailing. I was able to make a reservation for a dinner there on Ovation in August. We'll see if the web is in sync with reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place it shows is under bars & lounges, & only has a bar menu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I needed to do to see the Solarium Bistro in the restaurants' list was to switch to the current, happening right now sailing of Oasis.

We are doing Allure for the first Tina and are excited to try the Samba Grill for the first time. Since the Solarium Bistro converts to that for dinner, is it not showing for you because it is a “different” venue? As for the age limit, our son has been in to eat on a few different occasions, he was 11 at the youngest, while on Ovation, and was never questioned.

No, we are actually on Oasis, but the other poster explained it as it only shows on the current sailing, which is weird, but oh, well....

When you change to a different cruise there is an option at the very bottom "Get more details on ships we support". That allows you to pick any ship and current sailings.

In the app when you first open it up, after logging in: Tap the person icon towards the top of the screen (right most of the icons ship | calendar | person). Under the name of the sailing, tap "Select a different sailing >". A list of your booked cruises appears. Scroll to the very bottom, if they go offscreen, and tap "Get more details on the ships we support >" A list of ships appears. Tap the ship you're interested in seeing its current itinerary. A list of sail dates appears. Tap the one one top. RogerC1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one ever mentioned anything or even looked at us funny. BTW- I personally think that the Solarium Bistro was worth one visit, but beyond that, it was just okay.

twangster Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Depending on the ship the breakfast in Solarium Bistro can be less hectic compared to the WJ. The food is essentially the same but the crowds are often not present in the Bistro. CruisingNewb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping to do breakfast here but have a 1 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very quiet, different breakfast options and espresso bar. Beautiful views and comfy seating too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
