This is the response I received from the Mariner Society folks.
We thank you for your correspondence with Holland America Line regarding the Mariner Society embarkation lunch. We understand that the embarkation luncheon was a popular activity with many of our guests.
We apologize for any disappointment this has caused; however, the embarkation lunch has been discontinued as of March 1, 2024. We thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Our guest’s comments and concerns are important to us. We have forwarded your email to our management team for consideration.
Please let us know if you have any questions. We hope to welcome you back onboard with us soon.
Kind Regards,
Garrett

If enough people ask for it to come back including talking to the General Hotel Manager when on the ships and also listing this in the post cruise survey maybe we can get HAL to bring it back.
