Possibly. The planner for our cruise in September shows that same. Still no confirmation of when they are actually refitting SH though. Presumably sometime between now and 23 September - maybe, maybe not? In waiting place 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will report here as to what we find in 12 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAE27 Posted August 21, 2019 #30 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Update on this situation for our Aug. 30 sailing: our shoreside concierge (finally!) reached out yesterday, and she sent specialty restaurant menus that included the regular Silk Harvest menu. I inquired to her about booking it as I hadn't wanted to when it appeared to be LPC, and today she called and confirmed that the SH menu she sent would not be available, with LPC in Silk Harvest as the only option. So it appears that the changeover is complete, or at least will be within nine days. If we get on board and find something different, I'll provide an update.

KAE27 Posted August 26, 2019 #33 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Hate to keep posting about the same thing, but I received another update today. I noticed over the weekend that Silk Harvest had been added to my cruise planner, and sure enough the shoreside concierge called today and told me that it will NOT be switched over to LPC in time for our cruise. The information that she was given is that the Solstice will not be switched until after the Millenium has been, which has not yet happened. Something about equipment not coming in on time. In any case, will definitely be a little while, but I hope it will be switched for your sailing since I know you're looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update very much appreciated👍My planner is still showing LPC but maybe that is looking doubtful for our 23 Sept sailing? Should hear from the shoreside concierge soon, see what they have to say? Oh well, more reservations for Tuscan and Murano I guess. First world problems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an embarrassment of riches for us. I think it looks doubtful that it would be changed for your sailing, but maybe it will come through. As you said, no problem with Murano and Tuscan! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobCaron Posted August 27, 2019 #41 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I highly recommend going to see LPC on the ships that currently have it and on upcoming cruises when they refit the rest. It's a fantastic evening of fun and food. We've now seen both versions of the show and had a great time, every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hammo Posted August 28, 2019 #42 Share Posted August 28, 2019 For us LPC was a once visit -- cute and quirky - and a bit of fun - nice food served "en-mass " , but the second time with the surprise and novelty lost , the limited menu and wedding like serving of each course all together - its not a fine dining experience - especially at $55 ph . Not sure how the concept will evolve -- and how regular cruisers will react - for us its one less specialty dining venue on our next cruise .

Alakegirl Posted August 28, 2019 #43 Share Posted August 28, 2019 On other ships the place goes by the name LPC at Qsine, we were told that is because the ship deck plans all still say Qsine and it would be a difficulty changing all the signage and maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how the concept will evolve -- and how regular cruisers will react - for us its one less specialty dining venue on our next cruise . I think they've actually been really smart about it. They now have two different shows with different menus. And also alternate menus for each, so there are definitely choices for food. We thought the surf and turf meal was excellent during the first show and loved the truffle ravioli and steak for their newest version Le Petit Chef and Friends. As to how they will evolve, it made me think of Toy Story and some of the other popular franchises. They are up to Toy Story 4 now! New stories and creative will keep it fresh and keep us interested. But I will happily go back again for that lobster and filet. Now that I've seen LPC and friends with the competing chefs, we are looking forward to seeing what they come up with next!

I'm going to be disappointed if they haven't made the change on the Solstice for our 23 September cruise. There are a lot of seas days, be nice to have different offerings. We always seem to be last on the list in Australia/New Zealand market. Years before we had a home based Solstice class ship. The Solstice will be the last to be revolutionised even though she's the oldest in her class and now looks like she might be the last on the list to get LPC.

KAE27 Posted September 5, 2019 #50 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I have good news for you, @Redking! We dined at Silk Harvest last night, the first night it had been open on our cruise that started August 30. It had been closed all week partly in preparation for the changeover. We were informed that the next sailing (beginning tomorrow) they will be getting the training for LPC, and then as of the Sept. 13 sailing the changeover will have been complete, with LPC fully replacing Silk Harvest at that time.
