Denny01 Posted January 9, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) We use the Bisttro on 5. It is open and a great little place. Serves salads, crepes and sandwiches. It costs $5 pp and well worth it. Enjoy, Den Edited January 9, 2013 by Denny01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born4Travlin Posted January 9, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Thank you very much. We were thinking of doing that, but wanted to ask someone who has sailed the Reflection. We cruise mostly RCCL and go to Sorrentos or Promenade Cafe. I think I read there is a cafe on this ship similar to the Promenade where there are little sandwiches, cookies, etc. Is there anything open 24 hours as on RCCL? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted January 9, 2013 #4 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Little sandwiches and cookies are usually available from Cafe al Bacio, but AFAIK it is not open on Embarkation day in time for lunch, just later in the afternoon. Try Aqua Spa cafe in the Solarium, or the hamburger grill in the pool area, or Bistro on 5 as suggested. The latter is the only sit-down restaurant with table service open on Embarkation day.

glenneagle Posted January 9, 2013 #5 Share Posted January 9, 2013 The Porch is open.It was not listed as being open so there were very few people in the resturant. Had a delicious lunch in a quiet peaceful setting avoiding the chaos of buffet as everyone boarded... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CathyCruises Posted March 10, 2016 #7 Share Posted March 10, 2016 This information is three years old. The porch is now $30 and bistro on 5 is an a la carte sushi restaurant. The main dining room which is always open for dinner, and generally for lunch on seadays is free. The Oceanview buffet which serves breakfast lunch and dinner plus various snacks throughout the day, such as afternoon tea, is no charge. The mast grill which serves hamburgers and hotdogs from lunch time until about 6 PM is free. The aqua spa Café which is inside the solarium has healthier options, most of which are free although there is a charge for some items. The drinks at Cafe al Bacio are not free but the baked goods are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Alsmez Posted March 10, 2016 #8 Share Posted March 10, 2016 We were just on Reflection and the only restaurant open for lunch on embarkation day was the Porch, for $30. However, Sushi on 5 (which has replaced Bistro on 5) will now be open for lunch on embarkation day as well. The menu is a la carte, with prices similar to land-based sushi restaurants.

az_tchr Posted March 10, 2016 #9 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) You are saying that the grill, Oceanview and AquaSpa cafe were all closed? That would be a change. Celebrity has no restaurants open 24/7. Edited March 10, 2016 by az_tchr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dugknight Posted February 6, 2023 #11 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Any updates on this topic? We embark this coming weekend. I usually look for a quieter place for lunch and would always do Bistro on 5 as well. Anybody know what's open as alternatives to buffet and Mast? Thanks!

I believe Sushi on 5 is open, as are Café al Bacio and Spa Cafė. If you are in a suite, you have Luminae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embarkation lunch in the MDR if you are in Concierge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
