AZ Stan (FKA Stan in Chicago) Posted September 1, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) I am going to be sailing with friends who are new to Celebrity. She wishes to avoid the buffet for dietary reasons, and I hope someone will be able to spell out what other options are available for lunch on board. First, is the dining room open for lunch every day, or only sea days? Also, what other venues can be considered? We are sailing on the 15 day Trans Atlantic on the Eclipse. Thanks for your input.

WestLakeGirl Posted September 1, 2015 #2 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Dining room on sea days Aqua spa cafe every day Bistro on Five for $10 Hamburger/hot dog grill poolside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAYRB Posted September 1, 2015 #3 Share Posted September 1, 2015 The aqua spa cafe is a great choice depending what kind of dietary issues the have. It would be considered as one of the healthier choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallie5446 Posted September 1, 2015 #4 Share Posted September 1, 2015 How many sea days will you have out of the 15? 7,8,9, or 10? There will be few days to have to find another venue to eat in. That said, what type of 'dietary reasons"? My wife has Celiac, and the care and attention to the details of her disease were better cared for in the buffet area on the Reflection in 2013, and the Equinox in 2014, than in the MDR or the Specialty venues.

casper106 Posted September 2, 2015 #5 Share Posted September 2, 2015 The dining room is open for breakfast and lunch daily.Any special dietary should be discussed when you board the ship through the maitre d. They are very accomodating and make sure everything is to your request. The aqua spa cafe is lovely but very small with limited seating. It has gotten really popular so be prepared.

I've never seen the dining room open for lunch on port days but then it's been a year since I cruised so maybe that's changed? And aqua spa cafe has limited seating as you say but also limited menu... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleckle Posted September 2, 2015 #9 Share Posted September 2, 2015 In addition, don't forget that you can always order room service for lunch, or any other time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Casper, the dining room is not open for lunch daily. Sea days only. It has not been open on port days for years.....and years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscobeans Posted September 3, 2015 #11 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Besides the MDR there is the Mast Grill, Gastro bar, Blu for aqua guests, Tuscan Grille, Lawn Club Qsine, Bistro on Five, Spa Cafe and one or two I have forgotten to mention... finally a decent room service menu. You might get better or more specific answers if "dietary reasons" were explained. bosco Edited September 3, 2015 by boscobeans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkjretired Posted September 3, 2015 #15 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I don't know what the dietary reasons are but the buffet would seem to be her best choice. Dozens more choices of just about anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to remember all the similarities and differences on the Celebrity and RCCL ships is hard enough. bosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
