spearmint Posted November 19, 2012 #2 Share Posted November 19, 2012 We're cruisung on Silhouette in Jan. What venues are open for lunch on embarkation day? I believe that the only venue is the cafe on the lido (I don't think the short-order spot above the pool area, forward, is open at that time, but I have never checked. The Main Dining Room is not open either and I don't believe that the specialty restaurants are either; when we boarded Solstice a couple of years ago, we took a look-see around the ship and those specialty restaurants were not open, but there was someone there who showed us around in each one.)

You are partially correct, the MDR and the three main specialty restaurants are NOT open for lunch on embarkation. We're cruisung on Silhouette in Jan. What venues are open for lunch on embarkation day? Bistro on Five is open for FANTASTIC crepes, :) The Aqua Spa Cafe is open for all that nasty-rotten "health food," eeewww! :eek: :p And finally the Mast Grill is open for the GOOD STUFF. :D (fresh grilled burger with pico and guacamole!) :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Posted November 19, 2012 #4 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I would highly recommend Bistro on 5. It is quiet and relaxed and away from all the crowds waiting around on the Lido deck for the announcement that the staterooms are ready. The cost if $5pp and you have a wonderful selection - the crepes are divine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise a holic Posted November 19, 2012 #5 Share Posted November 19, 2012 We're cruisung on Silhouette in Jan. What venues are open for lunch on embarkation day? MDR not open. The best place for a nice relaxing start to your vacation lunch is Bistro on Five. They charge a $5.00 cover fee, but not crowded and excellent food. You will enjoy it!

catugirl Posted November 19, 2012 Author #6 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Does Aqua Spa Cafe have a salad bar? If so, does it have a wide range of items? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise a holic Posted November 19, 2012 #7 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Does Aqua Spa Cafe have a salad bar? If so, does it have a wide range of items? The aqua spa makes salads- albeit small portions. Sometimes not very interesting- Of course you can have all you want- The choice and quality of the salads at the Bistro on Five are much better! You can of course get a salad in the buffet area. You surely will not starve on the ship!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catugirl Posted November 19, 2012 Author #8 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Has anyone eaten at The Porch on embarkation day? Do you know anything about the menu at The Porch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted November 19, 2012 #9 Share Posted November 19, 2012 We just returned from 25 days on the Silhouette and strongly agree with the recommendations to have crepes at the Bistro on 5. The Porch has a menu of pre-made salads, limited types of paninis and a few other things....just about all of which you can get up in the Oceanview Cafe without paying the $5.

Northern Aurora Posted November 19, 2012 #10 Share Posted November 19, 2012 The hubby and I have a tradition on embarkation day -- after boarding we go to the Cafe al Bacio (or the Cova on the Century) to wait until the staterooms are ready. We each have pots of tea, and a selection of the little sandwiches for lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledhead Posted November 21, 2012 #12 Share Posted November 21, 2012 IS the brunch offered on the 7 night cruises? Ive heard a lot of great things about it. I assume it would be on a sea day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
