la_croisiere_s'amuse Posted July 28, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I was just looking at the Royal app and noticed that in the description for the Mariner Diamond Lounge, it says "Complimentary continental breakfast, light fare throughout the day and evening drinks." I've never seen the "light fare throughout the day" part, but if it's actually true, it would definitely change my embarkation day plans! Can anyone confirm or deny?

Usually fruit like apples and bananas along with cookies, they don't last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't been on Mariner lately, but some concierges have small sandwiches available around lunchtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikew0805 Posted July 29, 2019 #6 Share Posted July 29, 2019 My first experience in a Diamond Lounge set the rest up for failure. On Independence, (Dec 2017) they had Iced cucumber water each day, with selections of fruit. I basically hung out in the Viking Crown, just outside the lounge reading and hydrating all day. It was one of the most relaxing 5 days I have ever had. Now that I think about it, I do not think I stepped foot in there during cocktail hours. I have not seen cucumber water, or a fruit selection during the day like I saw on Independence, on any other ship I have sailed since. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it was (we sailed on MA in May) and there were small sandwiches on the buffet. Tao was a fabulous concierge. Please let me know if he is still in the DL or on vacation.

composersf Posted August 4, 2019 #11 Share Posted August 4, 2019 We sailed with Tao in March before he went home. He said then that when he came back, he woukd be on a different ship. One doing Asia. Sad-we really liked him. Fantastic concierge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooseman52b Posted August 5, 2019 #12 Share Posted August 5, 2019 We have been on Mariner 4 times in the past year and have gone in for a Cappuccino on embarkation day. So far we have not seen any light fare on those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisegirl1 Posted August 5, 2019 #17 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I have seen some light fare in the suite lounge, but not on embarkation day. They are the same small sandwiches that are available in the promenade café. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
composersf Posted August 11, 2019 #18 Share Posted August 11, 2019 We're on board MA now. Sukriti Rai (Sue) is now the Concierge. There was no light fare in the Suite Lounge on embarkation day but they have a special Suite/Pinnacle lunch on deck 3 Dining Room from 11:45 to 1. Food was very good and a lperfect ight portion.
