Mardi Gras--are Cucina and Pig and Anchor still complimentary for lunch (embarkation day specifically)? I have 7 children, and we are trying to find a "good" spot to contain everyone and avoid the craziness of the buffet for the first day.

Yes, we were on Mardi Gras 2 weeks ago and my husband had Pig and Anchor lunch on embarkation day.

Both are included at no extra charge for both lunch and dinner, but Cucina is not open for lunch on embarkation day.

I was hoping that had changed since we cruised two Octobers ago, but alas, apparently not.  

So, on embark day, neither the Cucina or Chibang! are open for lunch, still.   😞  

 

Guy's Pig & Anchor lunch BBQ, buffet-style, IS open for lunch on the lanai deck outside Pig & Anchor.  

 

Other free lunch options "away" from the embark-day madness of the Lido buffet, per https://help.goccl.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4252 :  

 

• Blue Iguana Cantina
• Guy's Burger Joint (located one deck up from Lido)
• Piazza Panini
• Pizzeria del Capitano
• Shaq's Big Chicken 
• JavaBlue Cafe (I think they have grab-n-go sandwiches...?)
• Fresh Creations (but it's within Serenity)
