monakayk Posted October 16, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 16, 2023 What are the times for lunch in the MDR on embarkation day? What's the name of the MDR that the lunch is held in? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyVeteran Posted October 16, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 16, 2023 It usually stops serving at 1:30 pm. That just means you have to enter the door by 1:30 pm - you don't have to order by then. It's usually one of the mid-ship dining rooms, but sometimes it's the aft dining room. If you give more information about your ship and itinerary, someone may have a specific answer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrysalis Posted October 16, 2023 #3 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Name of dining room depends on the ship 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyj Posted October 16, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) Embarkation ports and itineraries can cause variations. On a few select cruises, I have seen the MDR NOT open for lunch for various reasons on embarkation day. Times are usually 11:30-1 or 12-1:30 and depending on ship will be midship on deck 6, or aft dining room usually on 6. Not sure with the layout of the new Sun class. Once on board, get a copy of the daily Event listing and it should show if a dining room is serving lunch and its Name/location. Copy will be in cabin or available at Guest services.

Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted October 16, 2023 #8 Share Posted October 16, 2023 We have *never* been able to get to the ship in time to do lunch in the MDR! (We typically will be on a Princess shuttle from a "package" hotel. They seem to plan for these groups to get there too late!!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmak8 Posted October 16, 2023 #9 Share Posted October 16, 2023 MDR lunch on embarkation is midship deck 6 dining room. I usually order the shrimp and avocado appetizer, salmon entree and soufflé for dessert. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bgwest Posted October 16, 2023 #11 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I'm sure you know not to let the crew attempt to force you to buffet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

memoak Posted October 17, 2023 #17 Share Posted October 17, 2023 On the Crown lunch was 12:00 to 1:30. Reserve class was in midship deck 6 but all others were in aft deck 6 dining room. This was the same for all breakfast and lunch meals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shrimp and avocado appetizer was the nicest thing I had all cruise, and we even did 360 dining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I see why lots of people complain about the buffet being crowded. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
