Windjammer only option for lunch on Embarkation Day? Liberty?

[Heatherco]

Is the Windjammer the only option for lunch on embarkation day if you don’t do a dining plan?  Johnny Rockets?  
 

‘We are sailing on the Liberty this week and just curious.

 

Thanks so much!

Also Sorrento's pizza and the cafe for small sandwiches. JR's is a restaurant you have to pay for, about $17.99 plus 18 percent gratuity.

Thank you so much!  I completely forgot about Sorrentos and Promenade Cafe!

you can also book one of the restaurants for lunch......

Does the Promenade Cafe serves lunch on embarkation day? Is this in all ships?

It does on all ships that have a Royal Promenade. It doesn't exist on ships smaller than V class or on Q class.

With purchase of The Key will get a Chops lunch served in the MDR.

While Q class ships don't have a promenade cafe, they do have a place that has small sandwiches and desserts.

I know.

Just got off the Liberty and Chops is open for lunch on embarkation day at noon.  We had the UDP and I guess it's also open for lunch paying guests as well.  Not terribly crowded and a good lunch to start the cruise.  WJ was a mad house!

Do you remember how much it was without the UDP?  Thanks so much!

Actually…just checked the app.  It is $27 pp for lunch in case anyone else is interested.

Chops at lunch on Embarkation Day is a no brainer.    Great lunch , no fighting for your food in the windjammer.   Cost is in the mid twenty dollar range if you book ahead of time.

Sorrentos!!  Whenever we're on a ship that has one, that's where we go.  Its never crowded and we can sit and relax without feeling like we're hogging a table because people are waiting.  I avoid the WJ on embarkation day.

im so spoiled by CK on oasis that i did indeed book chops for embark day on liberty.  cant remember last time i did a buffet on the 1st day on any ship. way too crazy. heck on oasis at least you have solarium which also is very good. ive been in there for a while with no one there because newbies dont know it's an option. 

 

also i noticed the dinner time filet is only 1 oz larger than lunch and it's 30 bucks more. thats  a very expensive oz!
