Mardi gras - What is open for lunch on embarkation day? (Just complimentary ones)

Obviously the buffet will be, Guys, and Blue Iguana, but wondering what else is available.

Thank you in advance.

That's it.  There are a few places called Street Eats that are on the Lido that are included.

Shaq's Big Chicken, Pig & Anchor and Pizza Del Capitano are also open for lunch on embarkation day.  I believe Piazza Panini (deli next to pizza) is also open.

Thank you

This is most likely a dumb question, but would any be less crowded?

Thanks

What deck is Shaq's Big Chicken? I couldn't find it on the deck plans.

Fresh Creations (salad bar) up in Serenity might also be open.  

 

Most of the "usual" places will be open EXCEPT the Cucina and Chibang! are not open on embark day for lunch.  On other ships, the Cucina and Jiji's Asian Kitchen are.  (We made a beeline for the Cucina at embark and were brutally disappointed...but we survived. 🙂 )

Pizza and paninis are both open and a good choice because the piazza was not that crowded and had plenty of seating. A lot of people don’t know they’re open because they aren’t listed under lunch, but just “hungry for more.” Which is odd, because a sandwich or pizza qualifies as “lunch” in most of the USA.

P&A will be the least crowded by far.  Most people will be in the Lido area where all the other choices are.
