Robjame Posted September 26, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 26, 2016 What is typically open for lunch on Riviera on embarkation day and what times? If there is an option of where to eat, what is the best choice for that first day? Have seen this addressed regarding other cruise lines and ships.

Rare LHT28 Posted September 26, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 26, 2016 For lunch you have the Terrace & Waves usually they close about 4pm Barristas will have coffee & some small sandwiches/cookies until 6pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Caroldoll Posted September 26, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 26, 2016 OMG, only on embarkation day in The Terrace. It is what I dream of! LOL. Best meal ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pinotlover Posted September 27, 2016 #4 Share Posted September 27, 2016 The Terrace and Waves are your options. The above timings may be off in that everything shuts down in preparation of the mandatory evacuation drill. So that must be put in the time register. We are typically sightseeing and enjoying a great local cruisine lunch in one of the great embarkation cities that Oceania utilizes in lieu of eating another nice buffet lunch that we can enjoy on any number of days while aboard.

Mura Posted September 27, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 27, 2016 We tend to get on board in time for lunch although not always. When we left Rome at 3pm we didn't get to Civitavecchia in time for lunch, but that was on Marina and there were some sandwiches left in the Executive Lounge. Basically we will go to Terrace for a lovely lunch on whatever ship. Waves is a very good option but we tend to reserve that for late returns on port visits. Not always! You won't starve ... Well, if you board after 4pm MAYBE. But dinner isn't long off ... Mura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChatKat in Ca. Posted September 27, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I had a memorable meal in the Terrace in Istanbul on my first Oceania Cruise. Boarding took some extra time and I had a tour guide coming 15 minutes after we boarded. Ran and put my carry on in the cabin and valuables in the safe. Grabbed something quickly and ran back off the ship in time to greet our private guide. One of the best tours ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robjame Posted September 27, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Thanks to everyone for your quick and thorough replies. It sounds like Terrace is the place to eat lunch on Embarkation Day and that is a good thing. As pinotlover pointed out, not everyone will be going to lunch since for many the Miami day is just a port on a longer voyage. I hadn't thought of that. We are so excited that we are considering adding the 10 day portion before it. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ronrick1943 Posted September 28, 2016 #8 Share Posted September 28, 2016 If your on a B2B cruise on embarkation day you'll be seated in the main dining room on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Caroldoll Posted September 28, 2016 #9 Share Posted September 28, 2016 and I always go to The Terrace for my turkey. It is truly wonderful. They do prime beef too. They never do Turkey the entire other cruise. I turn down all plans just to have this turkey! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted September 28, 2016 #10 Share Posted September 28, 2016 We usually have lunch in town then head to the port between 1-2 pm no lines The hotel will usually store your bags until you are ready to head out Keep in mind for Miami you need to be checked in & onboard 90 mins prior to the sailing time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
