Matt&Carolyn Posted May 18 #1 Share Posted May 18 Anyone know if the MDR will be open for lunch on embarkation day? I think we’ve been to it in the past (unless I’m getting mixed up because our last 2 cruises have been Disney), but I’m not positive now. It’s a lot easier for me to speak to a chef about my uncommon food allergies there rather than the Windjammer so I’m trying to make a plan. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillyFan33579 Posted May 18 #3 Share Posted May 18 I cruise at least once a month and I don’t recall any MDR being open to everyone for lunch on embarkation day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariner was doing a “test” on embarkation day lunch a few months ago. I don’t think they’re still doing it. It was a nice little lunch. Not a huge menu but it was nice to have a quick, sit-down lunch on boarding day. I have no idea what the outcome of the “test” was…but I haven’t seen it on any ship since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelblu Posted May 18 #6 Share Posted May 18 Not knowing which ship or your allergy, maybe you should look at a specialty restaurant for lunch. They are pretty reasonable in price for lunch. On my Easter Anthem sail, I made reservations for my family-- DIL and granddaughter have food allergies and was able to discuss with the chef at Jamie's. Ps. Got a great dear last year when Royal had a Pasta day special promo and got Jamie's for $14.99 pp + grat. of 18%. Granddaughter who was under 12 cost $12,99 + grat.

That's a good idea, I hadn't thought about it! We normally don't do specialty dining, but it might be worth looking into! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the price in the cruise planner as it is cheaper than booking on board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilkySal Posted May 19 #12 Share Posted May 19 There may possibly be a good sale around Memorial Day weekend. Of course, if you purchase specialty dining and it goes down in price, you can always cancel and repurchase. Happy cruising! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a relaxing way to start a cruise…perhaps even more so in your case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
