Difference in the 4 dining rooms on Celebrity Beyond?

[shipshape sam]

Would like thoughts on difference between the 4 dining rooms offering complementary dining.  I have been told the food is the same, just the atmosphere/theme  is different.  

 

Was thinking that Tuscan, for example, would offer some dishes with an Italian theme/flavor which would not be offered in the other 3.  Where as Normandie might have a French theme/flavor, Cyprus a Greek theme/flavor and Cosmopolitan an more upscale theme/flavor.

On BEYOND we were in Luminae, but on  EDGE all four  had the same menu but a few items special to each..we were told that now you could get any of the choices anywhere..unconfirmed.

 

The two smaller ones Tuscan and Cyprus were our favorites...based on size and decor and their special dishes (Tuscan had Fellini decor with great  ital music...Elite  bkfst was held there on EDGE.) Normandie was our next fav based in decor, collections and service.  Cosmopoliton on EDGE was the breakfast and lunch  restaurant.,it was fine.  We had our first night dinner there..it was very crowded  but 1st night always  rough, we were seated at a libg table of twos..on top of each other..we did not enjoy that.

 

For our BEYOND cruise  last week, they no longer had any fixed early or late seating..even if you made res.  So it is suggested you pre-reserve although walk-ins  have also worked from what we heard.

 

Enjoy!

We were just on the Beyond (9 days) and I can tell you what you get and don't get can vary by restaurant. For example, we were on the classic drink package and there was a wine my wife wanted that was premium. At Cypress they would just give it to us - we didn't have assigned dining, ate at different tables, different times, etc., and each time they would just give it to us. In Normandie it was the same. In Cosmopolitan, they didn't. Obviously, YMMV, but my point here is you may receive something in one place that you can't in the others, so shop around.

 

Similarly, when were asked at the door of Cosmopolitan about ordering specialties from a different venue, we were told no. However, our waiter told us this was not a problem and we could order whatever we wanted from anywhere. Indeed, we found regardless of the restaurant, we could order whatever we wanted.

 

Lastly, we went to Normandie one night and it was a 45min wait. We just went to Cosmopolitan instead and were seated immediately. So, again, shop around.

Just to be clear, some of the MDR exclusive specialty items on the Beyond ARE NOT the same as the Apex or Edge, they were updated specifically for the Beyond.
