Emerald embarkment day help

Can someone please inform me which dining room will be serving lunch embarkment day on the Emerald? We try with a passion to avoid HC. Thanks

DaVinci on Deck 6. Have a wonderful time!!

Da Vinci is also where lunch is served on At Sea days. :)

A nice quiet lunch!

Our favorite way to start our cruise :) :)

Ask once you're aboard the ship (any variety of reasons could trigger them to change it for your particular cruise), but when you ask, choose your words carefully, as:

"Where do I go for lunch?" will always be answered with "Horizon Court, Deck 14 Aft", but

"Which dining room is open today for lunch?" will be answered with "DaVinci (or whatever), but you're better off going to Horizon Court, Deck 14 Aft".

It's amazing how consistent the answers were to everyone we asked on our recent cruise aboard the Grand. I don't know why they steer people away from the DR, as it's so much more relaxing to be waited on than deal with hundreds if not thousands of nervous nellies scrambling through the buffet.

On Embarkation Day the Da Vinci is open from Noon 'til 1:30 PM.

If for some reason you can't make that, the IC (International Café on Deck 5) is an option to consider. :)

Turn around day is the only time that the DR staff gets a break in service.

keeping demand at a minimum provides that opportunity.

Keep in mind the MDR dining staff gets a break on Port Days when there is NO service in the MDR for lunch.

A 'break' on turn-around day for a waiter might be -- work

breakfast until 9:30. Clean up. Start in lido at 11:30.

Some have more time, but 1.5 hours is not uncommon.

And, if the turn-around is in a US port, they are often so

tired from cleaning the night before that they sleep for the time.
