Ascent Embarkation Lunch

[bogie123]

In the Celebrity app it appears that Le Grand Bistro is open for lunch on embarkation day.  Can anyone verify that this is the case? We are sailing on the Ascent next week and would like to eat there as soon as we get on board the ship.  Are any of the main dining rooms open for lunch on embarkation day?

It was open on my embarkation day on the Apex in  Sept 2022.

Unless something changes - open for lunch.  It filled up very fast.

The Bistro would be a very good choice. The   Buffet on ASCENT,  on Sailaway day was not very good and was really crowded.. 

 

 Only thing tasty were the gluten free desserts. I am not a gluten free eater but  found the gf offerings looked better!  The Buffet was a very bad start.  We learned  it was also bad for bkfst..cold food and some nasty staff, including the bagel ogre!

 

  All other dining on ASCENT was

excellent and we enjoyed our cruise.

The main dining room is only open for embarkation day lunch for those in Concierge Class, B2B cruisers, and Zenith.  Plus, I believe this new premium pass they are now selling includes lunch. 
 

Retreat passengers can access Luminae for lunch embarkation day.

Yes, Le Grand Bistro is open from 11:30 to 1:30 on embarkation day as the Ascent. Fee applies.
