GweninTX Posted September 19, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I forgot to add that if you can get there before 1:30 they serve a lovely lunch in one of the formal dining rooms. It is a wonderful way to start a cruise! Look at your patter and it will tell you which one to go to! I feel like I am finally cruising when the server shakes my napkin out in my lap and I have one of their heavenly rolls with a little pat of butter - YUM! I will be doing that this Saturday!

Quacker Posted September 19, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I agree with you! We will be doing that next Thursday. Love having someone taking care of us. After all we are on vacation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted September 20, 2013 #6 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Yes, the International Café is open on Embarkation Day. Very quick and convenient. :) Note: The International Café NEVER closes ... open 24 hours a day. LuLu ~~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVBill Posted September 20, 2013 #7 Share Posted September 20, 2013 IC is our "go to" spot as soon as we drop our carry-on bags in our room. Have a quick bite then just hang out with a couple of drinks and watch everyone arrive and relax until muster drill Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunsetbeachgal Posted September 20, 2013 #8 Share Posted September 20, 2013 If you are sailing on the Royal Princess another great option for lunch on embarkation day is Alfredo's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beshears Posted September 20, 2013 #19 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Did I read that the International Cafe is open "24 hours" a day? I know the buffet is not, but I was surprised to read this. I just want to make sure it is, before I would go at a time where most places are closed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, your cabin will contain a directory of eating places and times. No need to remember everything before you cruise:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
