bjtravelnews Posted June 12, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Hello everyone, Sailing on the Joy June 18th from NY. For those of you who have recently sailed, can you tell me what dining areas were open for lunch on embarkation day? Also is the ship back to full muster drills, or just reporting to muster station to have card scanned? TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallux Posted June 12, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Typical for a ship like the Joy will be Taste and/or Savor (depends on need for space), The Local, buffet and maybe light snacking in the Observation Lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acct1975 Posted June 12, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I'm sailing the Joy in July and have been researching this too. I hear that if you don't want to deal with crowns, go to Taste or Savor. anything else with be crowded. It used to be that The Local was the unknow gem of embarkation but then everyone heard that and now, not so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkrickles1 Posted June 12, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Thankfully, only a scan is needed for muster! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare wolft927 Posted June 12, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Sailed in April, 1 of the main dining rooms will be open for lunch, as well as buffet, and the Local. The Haven Restaurant will also be open for Haven guest and also American Diner ( Free for Haven guest on the first day.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefMateJRK Posted June 12, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 12, 2023 In my experience Taste/Savor won't open until 12:00. I think the Local opens at 11:30. The Buffet at 11:00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destaw71835 Posted June 12, 2023 #7 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I sailed on 5/1 and had lunch at Savor. The buffet is always open on embarkation but usually packed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be most likely be told when checking in and then when you get on the ship is the buffet is open. For whatever reason I've never heard then say a dining room is open. I guess they try to steer everyone to the buffet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
