Rare hmorrow Posted September 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Are any specialty restaurants open for LUNCH, on boarding day. We have the unlimited dining pkg, and would love to do to one, instead of the buffet. This is for Odessey of the Seas. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seville2Cabo Posted September 25, 2023 #5 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Don't cruise as much as some, but I have never seen a day (including boarding day) where at least one specialty restaurant was not open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handbellplayer Posted September 25, 2023 #6 Share Posted September 25, 2023 When we've had the UDP (we've only done it on Oasis class), we've always had lunch in Chops on embarkation day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VernRDH Posted September 25, 2023 #7 Share Posted September 25, 2023 For our Oasis cruise next month NO specialty restaurants are available for lunch on embarkation day. We were really hoping once we get on board something may be open, since we are tired of the chaos that is WJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change the sailing to the current weeks sailing and look at the restaurants open hours for day 1 to get an accurate picture of what will be open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VernRDH Posted September 26, 2023 #9 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Previously and for our upcoming Anthem cruise I could pre book. Looking at this week's cruise, Giovanni's was open for lunch yesterday. Guess we will have to see what happens when we board, as the option is not there to book.

We were really hoping once we get on board something may be open, since we are tired of the chaos that is WJ. Same thing happened to us on this past August 4th cruise, nothing on the cruise planner stated that any specialty restaurant was open for embarkation day (which we found very odd because usually one is open as we have had lunch in the specialty restaurants on embarkation day in the past). When we boarded Oasis in Bayonne, we went to Central Park and checked, Giovanni's was open for lunch, we made a reservation for that day at 12:30 and enjoyed a quiet embarkation day lunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about setting up dining in whichever venue is opened, but then thought they might be too busy, and should go someplace else to set it up and then go eat. .....
