Food Republic open for embarkation lunch?

Sailing on the Bliss next month.  Would like a peaceful first meal, and I want to try Food Republic anyway.  Thanks.

Was open for dinner on Embarkation Day last week on the Escape.

FR is not open for lunch on embarkation day. And is open for a very short period for lunch on sea days.

I didn't embark early enough to visit Taste/Savor for lunch (both closed at 2pm) and the buffet was still a zoo, so I headed for the Observation Lounge. Highly recommended - light lunch items were available (salad, soup, sandwiches, desserts), there's a full bar, and it's still empty enough at that time for you to check out the different seating areas to pick a favorite. All of my lunches were eaten on the ship, all but one in the Observation Lounge. Loved that place.

  

Food Republic was not open for lunch but I had dinner there that night. Their black cod skewers were my single favorite food item from the entire cruise.

Agree with everything in this post. Loved the OL. I believe Food Republic is open 12:00 to 1:30 on sea days for lunch.
