Concierge lunch any different than embarkation lunch in MDR

[CU64]

Anyone have info on this? Ty

[davekathy]

No embarkation lunch in the MDR. Limited MDR menu for B2B cruisers and concierge passengers on embarkation day. Lunch in the MDR is only served on sea days.

Correct, on Celebrity, other than the Concierge/B2B lunch there is no lunch served in the MDR on embarkation day

Just curious.  We are in a Sky Suite.  Is there anywhere to get lunch, even to pay for it?  This is on embarkation day??

Luminae is open for lunch for all suite passengers on embarkation day and all sea days

Thank you so much.  I have not been on Celebrity since they had Luminae.

Absolutely! The buffet is open, spa café is open, and mast grill outside for burgers. But since you were willing to pay, I will share my secret. Go to sushi on five (raw on 5). Much less hectic on embarkation day then getting through the busy buffet crowd. Best part, the food is outstanding and not overly priced.

Luminae is so overrated.

I definitely have felt the concierge lunch was mediocre. Sort of a mediocre menu but anything beats the buffet. If I'm not B2B/concierge, Sushi on 5 is where I go.

I travel solo quite often and hate buffets so either go to MDR on sea days or aqua spa. Once a few years ago I left a drink and a tote bag on a chair below my drink in the buffet to get some food when I returned drink was gone and bag shoved over on the seat. Occupants said nope our table now.  That's the end of buffets for me.

So after one poor experience with some rude passengers you will never go back?  I am surprised you cruise at all.  For that matter, since rude people can be found anywhere, I am surprised you leave the house🫤

@cruisestitchwhere did I state I only had one poor experience?  Bit of an ignorant comment.

For suites, Luninae is great for lunch on embarkation day. Usually lobster roll is on the menu. I order it without the roll as a side along with the great grilled branzino. There is always the Luninae burger on the lunch menu daily.

Among the best burgers on the seas for sure.

I get it. You only told one incident and said you would never be back. If there was more to the story, it wasn’t revealed.

@Alakegirlon a separate occasion saw a man put scalloped potatoes from buffet onto his plate taste it changed his mind and scraped it back.  Gross if you ask me.

Ok that is so disgusting!  What kind of person does that?  Some people have no shame or don’t have any common sense or much of anything else!

Yes it is and it hasn't changed. Short ribs are really tasty so is the soup and you avoid the rush of the buffet.

If you are in a suite( Sky counts) go to Luminae. The food and service is excellent and you will start you cruise a lovely way. And on port days the Retreat has a yummy burger, hot dog, chicken wrap etc.
