Is it a sit down lunch or a buffet please?

It was a buffet in August (apart from the wine etc), but it could have changed since then.

It's a buffet, but you sit at tables and are served with wine.

Thank you for your replies.

It was a sit down served lunch for me on Arcadia this August and September - no buffet.

It depends on the number of eligible passengers on that particular cruise.

[Fionboard]

Sit down on Ventura currently. Does vary though. Personally prefer buffet.

We were on Britannia in September and it was a sit down meal. Everything was good.

Jobby is either Scottish slang for a.........jobby or a type of Nigerian cuisine

If you're eligible for the Loyalty lunch haven't you got priority boarding, which I understood to be about 12.30 or 1 o'clock?

If you are Caribbean level, or a suite passenger, you should have a much earlier boarding time than 14:00.

The food served at the Peninsular lunch buffet was better than any other meal I had in the MDR!!

It should say priority on the boarding pass which allows boarding from 13:00 regardless of the time stated.

When i saw this I wasn't sure whether it was meant to look like a turkey or a jobby.

[lincslady]

I don't like the look of that!

Well, we will look forward to that. The served meal has always been the best. There will of course be a large number of higher tier passengers on that cruise.

Are you seated in order of status.?.

No in order of arrival, which probably does mean the early birds will be Ligurians.

Indeed there will , but as we have now managed to get ourselves to the top it will be nice to gain some small benefit, and also expect a good deal of passengers to leave us in the shade regarding amount of cruises and nights spent on board😄.

That been said we are aware that there are a few first time cruisers on this trip
