Breakaway Dining Room Question

[MaryLS]

How late is the dining room open for lunch on embarkation day?

I left the BA two weeks ago and it was the same - 1:30 PM.

The pub is open 24/7?! Oh my ... my doc is going to get my bloodwork back and faint ... I have no idea how bad my A1C is going to be :eek:

Haha, I hear that. I think I gained 20 lbs on our Thanksgiving cruise between all the food and drink.

We did a Royal Caribbean cruise in '11 [20th anniversary sort of we had to delay a year and reschedule because I ended up in hospital, this one is specifically for the 25th anniversary] and the food was amazing in the main dining room. This time around we got the 3 dinner package, the drink package and the thermospa pass and I can see needing to start my day sweating out all the toxins from the day before!

 

We have decided to do the steakhouse the first night out, the Brazilian churawhatever on the 14th for our anniversary and the Tuscan place last evening out. Since we both do odd hours, at about 5 am you can probably find us down in the pub, though being an insomniac, I may wander around to the pub pretty much any time overnight.

I am going to piggy-back on this thread because I don't think my question is different enough to warrant a new thread.

 

I last sailed last July and I am booked on BA in April. Has the embarkation lunch menu for the MDR been drastically reduced in options? There were always numerous choices on it, but I just saw a picture posted elsewhere of a menu from embarkation on the Gem with only 3 apps, 3 entrees, and 2 desserts. Is this the norm now? Thanks in advance for any info.

One reason my wife and I eat ALL of our meals (breakfast lunch and dinner) is because it decreases the opportunity to overeat. The few times we have eaten in the buffet, we tend to "try everything." So if your serious about your A1C, stick to the MDR.

It is mainly a joke - I have maintained a 5.9 A1C for about 15 years solid [did a stint of chemo 15 years ago that had my numbers out of whack] and have been diabetic since 1980, so I am *well controlled* :p

 

Though I do admit, seeing some of the photographed menus is fun, I can't wait to see what we will be getting. We have 3 specialty meals planned - first night out, last night out and the 14th, already pre-reserved.
