Last question for today.

Is lunch provided when you get on board or do you have to wait until dinner to eat?

Lunch is available in the Lido, unless you are booked in the Grills when you can eat in your restaurant.

The Golden Lion is often open for lunch too and is far less busy.

Ditto....

The Embarkation Meal depends on your accommodations. If you are in a Non - Grill Cabin, then most likely you will be directed to the Kings Court Buffet on Deck 7 Mid Ship.

If you will be staying in a Princess or Queens Grill Cabin, then you will be directed to either Grill. Typically the Lunch starts on Embarkation Day at 1PM till prior to Boat Drill...

Other locations on the ship maybe available if noted in the Daily Program in your cabin.

Bon Voyage..

Worth remembering ; The Pub is open for lunch on embarkation days ( ex Southampton/ Brooklyn) 'only' when there are a large amount of In-Transit guests. It may not be always open for 'meals/lunch' (bar drinks only) whenever there are large shoreside 'special events'.

In addition, remember that the Golden Lion closes at 2:00, so if you're a little late boarding, by the time you've gotten to your stateroom and spent a little time seeing if your bags are close behind, the pub lunch will have concluded.

There is food available somewhere 24hrs a day so you will not have to wait for a meal time to eat. The daily programme in your cabin will tell you if the Golden Lion is open for lunch.

On embarkation day we at lunch in the Carinthia lounge. My wife has a spinach and mushroom panini and I had a chicken wrap. Both excellent. We didn't board till 2:00PM so we didn't want to spoil our appetite for dinner. Of course we were already on our second glasses of champagne by the time.

Is this available to everyone?

It's an enjoyable spot to get a small bite or just to sit & read.

Thank you very much.

Cannot wait till our Independence Day cruise!
