travelrevealed Posted February 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Is horizon court the only place a non suite guest can eat on embarkation day? On NCL I know the main dining room is often open too even though not advertised... Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted February 16, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Some ships have additional venues open, but all will have at least these open: One of the dining rooms for sit-down lunch The grill is open for chicken breast sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers, bratwurst and fries. The pizza station by the pool is open. Room service is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

land lover Posted February 16, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Wanted to point out the one MDR that’s open for embarkation lunch is usually open only from 12 noon to 1:30 pm. Sent from my iPad using Forums More like 1:20...have seen people turned away at 1:20-30 ......so don't cut it to close. I think if they don't have a lot of guests in the dining room they close a few minutes early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRUISER GAL1973 Posted February 17, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Hi, on Golden Princess last month we had lunch at one of the Main Dining Rooms. (We were not suite or high tier passengers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The International DR all the way aft on Fiesta deck 6 will probably be the DR open for lunch, but check the Patter in your cabin when you get on board. If you are on the Diamond, there is no Alfredo’s or International Cafe. If you don’t make it to the DR before it closes you can still go to Prego Pizzeria or the Trident Grill which are take away locations by the Neptune Pool on Lido deck 14.

Jeremiah On a Cruise Posted February 17, 2018 #11 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Alfredos seems to be a bit of an insider secret for lunch. The buffet will have food, but probably not seats :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridalover5623 Posted February 17, 2018 #12 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Dining room lunch is not meant for everyone unless you disregard their pre-boarding instructions.

Lucky TGO Posted March 5, 2018 #16 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Alfredo’s is the place to go if available. If it’s open (12:00 to 1:30 pm the MDR is my second choice. Have a great cruise!!! Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare geoherb Posted March 5, 2018 #18 Share Posted March 5, 2018 On the Regal this month, the dining room was open from 11:30 until 1:30 on embarkation day. I was thinking it did not open until noon, so we were dawdling in our cabin until I checked the Patter to find out which one was open--and found out we could have been eating already.
