Embarkation Lunch

[JAN2321]

Have been reading that one of the main dining rooms is open on embarkation day and we are going on Sky Princess in a couple of weeks and not a problem and understand it's usually the Estrella.  As we are suite passengers just wondered if the Club class dining is open for lunch.  Don't expect it will be and not a problem just wondered.  Anyone been on Sky recently and know if the menu for that lunch is the same as has been posted here for other ships and whether it opens at 11.30 or 12.

It was open on the Ruby in August.  It has the same hours as the regular dining section 12-1:30.  The menu was the same.

It was open on the Caribbean Princess in Aug/Sept.  Did try it once.  Didn't think the menu was anything special to warrant trying to be first on the ship to get a table in the dining room.

Club class will be open if a dining room is open

In the past, it was the best lunch menu of the week. Though - I guess everyone has different favorites.

 

I like the dining room as opposed to the buffet. Much more civilized.

Yes it is quieter in dining room but menu not enough for a mad rush to board the ship. I have always liked the first sea day menu

It depends on the embarkation port!

Regardless of the ship, Club Class will be open for embarkation lunch until about 1:30 p.m.

It was open on Discovery princess on deck 6 skagway starboard side from 12 to 1:30pm.   I know this as I tried to get I there but was redirected to port side where regular cruisers were seated.

It is my tradition.  Always Chicken Cacciatore in the dining room the first day. They also offer salmon and beef.  Also dining room breakfast on the last day, one last meal with no check. 😉

It will be open the same hours as the main dining room and has the same menu it's had for years

My favorite way to start a our cruise… sitting with our best friends,

in the Good Spirits bar, with our first cocktails…. until the Dining Room opens for lunch.  Although several choices for appetizers, main course and dessert, I’m truly there for the dessert!….. my first soufflé of the cruise! 😉😁❤️
 

After all the hustle and bustle with getting to the airport, flying, car service to the terminal, dropping off luggage, boarding process…. I am ready to sit & relax with a drink and a great lunch.  It always feels like home to me when I finally step on board.  4 Weeks to Go! ⚓️🛳❤️

if the first crew member you asks says only the buffet is open (which sadly sometimes is true depending on staffing), check the patter, the app, or ask agian...many crew don't know about the dining room open on embarkation day

Sorry. if I missed this!  But, does anyone have any info or link to the usual lunch menu?   

I haven't eaten Embarkation lunch in the dining room.  Last time we did Alfredo's, and might stick with that.   To many options to get in on a short cruise!

I see a couple of things mentioned mentioned.  Spinach Ravioli, and Souffle.   I wonder if the beef is worth trying?
