Click on the restaurants and see if they are offered on day 1 lunch. Some are, some arent. Often chops is for key members, as a for instance.

You don't mention what ship.  But, yes, they are open for dinner.  Chops and Giovanni's are for lunch as well.

Normally on Mariner's day of embarkation:

 

Chops Grille opens at 5:30 pm. Chops is open at 12pm for lunch on sea days.

 

Izumi Hibachi opens at 5:30pm.

 

Izumi Sushi opens at 5:30pm.

 

Jamie's Italian opens at 12pm - 1:30pm.

 

Johnny Rockets opens at 11:30am.

 

Hope this helps.

Then as @Engineroom Snipe indicates, it would be Jamie's v Giovanni's.

They just changed the lunch hours to only sea days recently. I was going to book one on a port day hoping to have a quiet lunch to find out hours have changed.

 

I do not do UDP so I cannot say if it has been like that for a while.

 

Some people like to maximize their UDP with lunches and dinners.

 

Did Royal cut back lunches only to sea days to save money?

 

I do not know.

I only did UDP once and that was in 2019, so I can't answer to the current hours you are suggesting. 

 

For the OP, I was answering just to the restaurants that in our experience had been open on boarding day for lunch, correcting as you identifying that on Mariner Jamie's was the Italian restaurant, not Giovanni's.

I do not think it is a recent change.
