International Cafe

[travelgal]

Does anyone know if the International Cafe is open on boarding day for lunch vs going to the buffet? (embarkment day)

[GweninTX]

Yes it is!

[travelgal]

Thank you so much for your quick response!

[GweninTX]

I forgot to add that if you can get there before 1:30 they serve a lovely lunch in one of the formal dining rooms. It is a wonderful way to start a cruise! Look at your patter and it will tell you which one to go to! I feel like I am finally cruising when the server shakes my napkin out in my lap and I have one of their heavenly rolls with a little pat of butter - YUM! I will be doing that this Saturday!

[Quacker]

I agree with you! We will be doing that next Thursday. Love having someone taking care of us. After all we are on vacation!

[OCruisers]

Yes, the International Café is open on Embarkation Day. Very quick and convenient. :)

 

Note: The International Café NEVER closes ... open 24 hours a day.

IC is our "go to" spot as soon as we drop our carry-on bags in our room. Have a quick bite then just hang out with a couple of drinks and watch everyone arrive and relax until muster drill

If you are sailing on the Royal Princess another great option for lunch on embarkation day is Alfredo's.

Thanks folks for responding - my husband prefers IC vs Buffet . Well actually I do too! I'll also keep the dining room option in mind. : )

IC is one of our favorite things about Princess.

[jsiegel]

it is also open on disembarkation day so as you are waiting to be called off (boo hoo) you can get one final treat.

Never been on a ship with IC, so I'm looking forward to next month on the Royal to discover what everyone is raving about!

Did I read that the International Cafe is open "24 hours" a day? I know the buffet is not, but I was surprised to read this. I just want to make sure it is, before I would go at a time where most places are closed down.

[GweninTX]

It is open 24 hours, the selections will vary based on The hour of the day.

Does Diamond Princess still not have an International Cafe?

The Princess website shows all the hours of the various eating places. Plus, your cabin will contain a directory of eating places and times. No need to remember everything before you cruise:)

Love the Greek salad at the IC. One of my favorite venues onboard!
