lovetovak Posted February 23, 2005 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Going on Southern Caribbean out of San Juan. We are arriving a day early and plan on being on the ship by noon. I know the buffet restaurant will be open but what about dinner in the dining room or the specialty restaurants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcruise67 Posted February 23, 2005 #2 Share Posted February 23, 2005 After boarding during embarkation day, all the restaurants are open, however, they are all informal dining this day. The specialty restaurants will not be open for business until the next day, unless the respective line your sailing has changed this. Usually the first day is when they take reservations for the specialty restaurants in the Atrium. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caviargal Posted February 23, 2005 #3 Share Posted February 23, 2005 IME, only the casual buffet restaurant is open for lunch. The dining room is used byt the head waiters to make seating adjustments. I have never seen a formal dining room open for embarkation, except for dinner.

serene56 Posted February 23, 2005 #4 Share Posted February 23, 2005 me too- I have only seen buffet open during that first day. Dining room only opened so people can see their dining table and/or visit with the Matre D. It will be opened during reg dinner hours for dining. Not for lunch.

pltag Posted February 23, 2005 #5 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Which ship / cruiseline are you sailing? We sailed Royal Caribbean out of San Juan a few weeks ago. They served both early and late seatings in the dining room with the Muster drill in between. Their specialty restaraunt, Portofino, was not only open the 1st night, but offered a half price discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted February 23, 2005 #6 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Ptlag: thas during dinner--is that dining room open for lunch when you first get onboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetovak Posted February 24, 2005 Author #7 Share Posted February 24, 2005 pltag: We will be sailing on the Serenade. I will have to check out Portofino's as soon as we arrive :). I was wondering when the muster drill would take place. I will wear my life vest to dinner. I wonder what comments will be made on the fashion thread if I do. (Just kidding).
