@Beach Fever: I agree the MDR lunch on embarkation day is uninspiring, but as long as most people don't know about it, it is an oasis of peace and calm, whereas the buffet on Lido Deck is a madhouse, especially with so many people dragging their carry-on luggage around. I've had enough of people banging into me with their luggage, of people trying to find tables that they can barricade with their luggage. And first day, many people go crazy with the All You Can Eat, and bring plates hugely over-piled with food. I love the buffet for lunch, but not on embarkation day.
So please let me enjoy a completely uninspiring menu in the MDR and let the tensions of traveling to the port, getting through the security and bureaucrats, and boarding bleed off, while I relax and start to be pampered!
Oh, btw, there is no special Club Class menu. Same as the MDR menu.
