Other than for special groups such as consecutive cruisers, I've never seen embarkation lunch available in the MDR on RC ships.

 

Right on Bob! The only time that we are allowed to eat in the MDR on "turn around day" is as a consecutive cruiser. Never as we board for the first cruise.

Small sandwiches, wraps, desserts, cookies, fruit cups, fruit, etc.

 

Thanks Bob for the wealth of knowledge you add to this site. You have helped me in SO many ways feel comfortable with my choice of RCI and my first cruise overall.

 

I think we will have a big breakfast (I'm looking at a Tex-Mex place for Migas in Galveston) and then we'll go have a light lunch at Cafe Promenade to keep away from the crowds until the cabin is ready. I'm definitely am going to just go with the flow on embarkation day - get my non-alcoholic frou-frou drink with the umbrella and chill with my meet and mingle group.

 

Again, thank you so much for all that you add to this site!

If you are in a GS is Chops open on embarkation day? Do they have there own menu or do you have to bring your food from windjammer?

Chops would not have a menu on embarkation day. One of Chops or Giovanni would be available for seating for gold card guests.

Thank you! Any other perks for gold cards on embarkation day? This is our first RC cruise and we don't want to miss anything!

Priority check-in and boarding. Access to Concierge Lounge with free specialty coffee.

Will we have access to the concierge lounge as soon as we board?

Yes, your SeaPass card should give you access 24 hours. The actual Concierge will likely not be there until the evening. The specialty coffee machine may or may not be working. There might be some cookies and/or fruit available.

Perfect! Like I said it is our first cruise and I want to be able to take advantage of any perks we have, do you have any special tips?

On my Liberty cruise, Chops was for gold card, but as you said no menu on embarkation, so you could bring in food from WJ, I think WJ ran out of seats on 1st day and they let non gold card people sit in Chops during lunch, but normally it is never crowded for breakfast or lunch

I just looked at prices, I know it smaller and older but I could do a royal suite on this one

We will be in an owners suite on Liberty OS and will have access to the concierge/suite lounge. Can alcoholic drinks from the concierge/suite lounge be taken out of the suite lounge into other areas of the ship? into the MDR or to our cabin?

They don't seem to care much anymore if you bring drinks out of the lounges.
