Embarkation day lunch options

[Six-Eleven]

Hi all! 
going on adventure of the seas 9/24/22. 
do they still have main dining room lunch on embarkation day or windjammer only?

 

TIA. Amy

I'm not aware the Mdr was open for lunch. Was that pre covid. I'd say only WJ and then by noon or 1 pm. Pizza was open on liberty. Didnt open as soon as WJ and we had to wait.

Royal Caribbean ships have never (in the past 25 years, at least) had embarkation day lunch in the Main Dining Room, unless you were part of a specific group, like consecutive cruisers, or purchasers of The Key.

 

Adventure has the Windjammer and Cafe Promenade.  You can also pay for lunch at Chops.

I thought they used to. But I may be thinking of NCL.

Agree with my friend Merion Mom.   I have never seen the MDR open for lunch on embarkation day for newly boarding pax.

Royal use to in Main Dining but that was sometime in the 90's that I remember last

It was definitely NCL. I always got the cheesesteaks on embarkation day in the MDR.

Your choices are on boarding day for lunch are probably going to be limited to the Windjammer, Cafe Promenade and Sorento's Pizza, depending on your boarding time.

Ugh… that insane chaos in the WJ on boarding day makes me twitchy!

I enjoy the show.

People who buy The Key, UDP, and those in suites will have additional options ,depending on the ship.

Yes. It's a must to avoid if possible.

That's true! Once seated, the show begins....

Unfortunately, if you have to get up for a refill, dodging the carry-on luggage can be quite a maze to conquer. (Prior to bad knees and hip surgery it was no big deal LOL)

We always go to Sorrentos for lunch no matter which ship we are on and always find it to not be crowded.

On Oasis class we go to the Solarium Bistro or the Park Cafe.

My plan is to go to Chops, I can't wait to get on that ship next month!

We only went there once out of two Oasis cruises we took so I guess we lucked out. The other time we went to the Solarium Bistro and that was also very pleasant.

Same here...once on Oasis when she was still in PC.   Gave up trying to find a seat and ended up in Solarium, which at that time had twice the variety it does now.  Sad to see it downsized so much on Harmony.
