Is MDR open for lunch on embarkation day?

[primetimegirl]

Is one of the MDR open for lunch on embarkation day? We will be on the Triumph. I know on NCL one of them is open, it’s not really advertised, but I learned about it here on CC. We have always eaten there for lunch instead of battling the buffet.

No, the dining room isn't open on embarkation day or on port days.

Board the Ship and head straight to the Lido my friend! (But it would be nice, wouldn't it???) :D

It is very nice on NCL. No lines, no pushing or shoving, just a nice relaxing way to start your cruise. I didn’t realize that the MDRs were not open on port days! That’s another difference between Carnival and NCL. This is our first cruise on Carnival; we have only cruised on NCL before.

It is all buffet on embarcation day. I enjoy getting there early getting a table by the pool where I can see every one coming out onto deck for the first time and then ordering a few DODs :D and eating some chicken strips and fries.

 

That is the life

No MDR on embarkation day, but the Lido Buffet is more than adequate for lunch offerings. Also I do believe that Fish and Chips station, one level up form the Lido is also open. Im not certain, but I believe you can also get a burger or hot dog from the grill, and pizza. I can always find something I like for lunch on embarkation day.:)

Has anyone really ever been pushed or shoved????.....C'mon it may be busy at times, but I have never seen any of this......

On one cruise we were in line at the buffet on embarkation and a person let his friends -3 people in line. It wasn't a big deal to me, yet the folks behind us were alittle bummed out. This was not on Carnival. Other cruise lines fans seem to complain about Carnival but the only really rude folks I've ever encountered were on another cruiseline that supposedly caters to a more affluent cruiser.

MDR opens for dinner on embarkation day.

 

Give some thought to how very busy that day is for the crew. Without question, it is the hardest of the 7 days (or 3 or 4 or whatever). We always try to be very self sufficient that day. :)

If I remember correctly there is NO Fish and Chips on the Triumph.

No fish n chips on the Triumph and I've never been pushed at the buffet either.
