Mariner Lunch

We'll be on the Oosterdam on February 29. How and/or when would I find out about the Mariner Lunch on embarkation day?  And I mean besides reading about it on CC!  😁

The Mariner Lunch wasn't on embarkation day the past few cruises we have been on. You find out about it when you receive an invitation delivered to your cabin telling you the date, time, and place.

Mariner Lunch or Brunch for our last several cruises have been on Sea Days. You will receive an invitation in you ‘tree mail’.  Some cruises, we have been asked to rsvp but not on the last 3.

For the last several years the lunch on Embarkation day has been open to all passengers.  It is from Noon until 1:30 on the lower level of the dining room.

 

Just go there on your own.

CC is about the only place you WILL find out about it. It's either a state secret or nobody at HAL knows about it. If you ask anyone when you board, they'll tell you lunch is in the Lido. KK is right, just go to the MDR (lower level usually) on your own.

Just to clarify the situation regarding 'lunches'.   On embarkation day the MDR was previously only open to Mariners for lunch, now it is open to all.    The 'Mariners' Lunch' is usually held on a sea day and there may be 2 or 3 lunches depending on the number of mariners onboard.  You will receive an invitation to 'your' lunch in your stateroom door mailbox.  I always take the invite with me, but have never been asked to show it.  The lunch starts promptly at the noted time, as the Captain makes a speech (interesting nuggets of information) and then normally heads to the bridge to give the lunchtime navigational and weather overview over the PA system.
