Something fun! Posted July 2 #1 Share Posted July 2 Someone on a different site posted the dailies from last week's sailing on the Jade. The MDR was not open for lunch on embarkation day. Is this the norm now or is this crew dependent? Thank you for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted July 2 #2 Share Posted July 2 I have read that the dining room isn’t open on the Jade, I haven’t seen that about any other ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimR24 Posted July 2 #3 Share Posted July 2 Just off the Sky last week and we had lunch in the MDR day of embarkation. One of the 2 dining rooms was open and was about a 1/4 full. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This option may be subject to change. You will know for certain on embarkation day by checking the daily schedule's dining options. If open, it's a wise choice; if not, try O'Sheehans's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Nahoumi Posted July 2 #5 Share Posted July 2 We hope that the MDR will be open on the Jade in August. Dragging our carry-ons to the buffet, while trying to find a table is not fun. I guess that we can go to O'Sheehan's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask, someone should know the location (usually a closed restaurant like Orchid Garden). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate Teapot Posted July 2 #7 Share Posted July 2 One of the main dining rooms, Versailles, on Star was open back in May. I also recall it was possible to leave carry-on luggage in the Bliss lounge until the staterooms were available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just stick it under the table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's monitored exactly as much as your delivered luggage is monitored as it sits in the hallway. Luggage theft is not a big thing on a cruise ship, as far as I know.

SenatorsFan Posted July 3 #12 Share Posted July 3 On Jade in April no MDR was open upon embarkation. We ate at O'Sheehan's which wasn't busy at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ColdCruise Posted July 3 #17 Share Posted July 3 (edited) Same with our last cruise on Sky - no MDR open for embarkation lunch. Also the Local/O’Sheehans wasn't open for lunch… ever … and the to be clear didn’t serve any meals the whole 14 day cruise until 5pm. It was just a bar extension to the Great Outdoors until 5pm. cost savings = cut backs Edited July 3 by ColdCruise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you put your bags in the hall the night before debarking? Probably the same amount of risk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayak25 Posted July 3 #22 Share Posted July 3 We have just got back from a cruise on the Pearl. We usually have our lunch in O'Sheehan's on embarkation day as in the past we have usually found the MDR closed on a number of ships. However our muster point was outside the MDR and it was open and so once our names were ticked off the muster list we went and had a very nice lunch in the MDR. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the size of an extra large gym bag. One for my husband and one for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
