melody hounddog Posted April 20, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Can anyone tell me the hours that the Terrace is open? Do they shut down in-between meals? I know I saw this information somewhere but for the life of me I can't find it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrace is usually open at least from 12-2 pm for lunch. Dinner starts at about 6 pm. Waves is available usually until 4 for the folks wanting food after tours. Hours for all restaurants are posted daily in the Currents. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though they close around 9 PM, you'll likely get food till around 9:30(though this will depend on amount of pax still there)They do close between meals. I suggest Waves for those between meal, meals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on a Oceania cruise a couple of years ago and nothing was open to get any food between 3-6 PM -- after arriving back from a late excursion. We were told at the time "you can order from room service." I personally did not want to stay in the cabin waiting for RS on a beautiful afternoon. We had written in our comments that the Terrace should stay open serving something late afternoon (i.e. hamburger, hot dog, light snacks, etc..). We will be on Sirena in early July... I will keep you all posted...😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mura Posted April 30, 2019 #8 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Just one little comment about Terrace staying open ... When Waves is open and most if not all tables are taken, you can have your food delivered to Terrace. I don't know if they normally lock the doors once they are no longer serving food, but they don't in that particular situation. Paulchili and our respective spouses had lunch that way one day ...

StanandJim - Thank you. I believe we did come back after 4PM and at that time nothing was available except room service. 2 hours ago, Paulchili said: ..and of course, at 4 PM one can go to tea where there are plenty of finger sandwiches and cakes.

After a 6-8 hour excursion - I would not want to get dressed for tea. No one is talking about starving -- it is about having light fare available for those returning from all day excursions.

Whatever you wore for the tour is acceptable for the tea assuming you did not wear a bathing suit for the tour. This is not Cunard or Silversea. Just a little washing up would do - your call. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffxx Posted May 18, 2019 #15 Share Posted May 18, 2019 On Riviera now. We arrived at Terrace Cafe around 2:30 today expecting to eat at the rear outside deck and watch Malta departure. Nope, indoor and outdoor closed. As far as I can tell, there is nowhere to eat or drink at an outdoor table or chair on the ship from 2pm to 6:30pm. Dissapointing. You can drink at an outdoor lounger. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWhiners Posted May 18, 2019 #16 Share Posted May 18, 2019 So, Waves has breakfast items available in the morning? Or, is a smoothie the closest they come? I can see us sleeping in a bit some days on our cruise in November and 10 might be right around when we get moving. Does the room service menu include breakfast items, at least until late morning? DH will be grumpy if he has to get up earlier than he wants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t the Waves bar outdoors and open after 2PM? Also, you can pick up your burger (or whatever) at the Waves and take it to the outside rear deck as long as you don’t expect table service. Do you expect everyone to work at the Terrace from 7 AM till 5 PM without a break and then go the MDR or specialties to serve till 10 PM or is there another shift of servers?

All the tables with chairs I saw on the Waves level (12) are under cover. Entry through Terrace to the rear deck was not allowed. People that couldn't get a table at Waves were allowed to eat in Terrace indoors right by the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they are covered (most of them) but they are outdoors. IIRC, the large table is not under cover. The covered part is a good thing as it keeps one dry if it rains and in the shade while eating. There is plenty of time and places to get sun after lunch if that is what one wants. Also, if there are a number of excursions returning to the ship around 2 PM IME they will keep the Terrace open later to accommodate those groups. If you arrive at 2:30 from a private tour then you are limited to the Waves. Edited May 18, 2019 by Paulchili Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually have breakfast either in our room or in the GDR, so I'm not sure of the breakfast hours at Waves but I think at least until 11am. Check Currents, it has all the dining hours every day. As memory goes, yes, room service has breakfast items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
