Specialty Restaurants lunch on sea days?

[edgeman61]

We've been on two Celebrity cruises and never thought about this until we booked a Med cruise that has a significant number of sea days (and us a respectable amount of OBC).

 

Are the specialty restaurants open for lunch on sea days (hopefully at a reduced price)?

 

Which venues will be open for lunch, if any?

 

Thanks in advance.

There may be a special lunch at one of the restaurants, usually either Murano or Tuscan Grille at a not so special price. Bistro on 5 is open every day as is The Porch.

Usually one of the specialty restaurants will be open on just one or two of the sea days, depending on the length of the cruise. They also have a special Champagne Tea one sea day at one of the specialty restaurants which includes a lot of food.

 

The buffet, aqua spa cafe, mast grill, bistro on 5 and the porch (on Silhouette and Reflection) are open every day for lunch. The main dining room is open most sea days for lunch except that on one sea day there is usually a "Gala Buffet Brunch" in the main dining room from around 10am through early afternoon instead of the normal lunch there.

On our 11 day Equinox cruise, Muranos and Tuscan were open for lunch one day only. In Muranos it was a special event where we did the cooking.

On our 9-day Pacific Coastal on the Century in October 2013, we did the special cooking class/luncheon in Murano and it was wonderful. The price was $89 per person, included a wine pairing with all four courses and we were given a copy of the Celebrity cookbook, signed by the Executive Chef and the Murano chef who taught the class.

 

This summer on the Century, no cooking class, but Murano was open for lunch for $25 per person, with a great menu. We had reservations for Murano that night, so didn't do the luncheon.

 

I just got home from the 10-night Pacific Coastal on the Solstice (Wine Cruise and America's Cup) and there was no cooking class, but the Tuscan Grille was open for lunch on one sea day from 12:00 noon until 1:30 pm. We weren't told about it at dinner the night before, nor was it highlighted in the Celebrity Today, so we didn't realize it was happening.

The Ultimate Specialty Dining Package includes two lunches [one in Murano and one in the Tuscan Grille] on S-Class ships so, my assumption, would be that one lunch in each would be standard now.

 

On our NY cruise on Eclipse, there were two lunches in Murano. The price was US$25.
