akowilm Posted October 29, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Can anyone tell me if the Porch is open for lunch on embarkation day? We loved Bistro on 5 and we have had good experiences in Sushi on 5, but we are looking for something, and really enjoyed the Porch last March on the Silhouette. What about burgers at the Lawn Club? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maiden80 Posted November 2, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I believe all specialty restaurants are closed on embarkation day for lunch and it's usually just the buffet that is open, until dinner and then the others open up. Same as when you disembark normally it's just the buffet and possibly the MDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicagopaul Posted November 2, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Yes, the Porch IS typically open on Embarkation, at least in our experience it has been and it was on the Reflection recently and was on the cruise before that as well. Sushi on 5 was open as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GottaKnowWhen Posted November 2, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Do you know what time it opens? We're sometimes onboard before 11:30. Sorry! I went back through journey notes and accumulated bits of paper for the last couple of trips and I find nothing! My recollection is that the hours are 1200 to 1330. I am quite sure of the closing time, less certain about a 1200 opening, it might be 1130. Our notes on our Eclipse trip last spring say that "...we started embarkation at about 1100, boarding went smoothly, 20-25 minutes. Had lunch at the MDR..." What the notes don't say nor does our memory help, is if we went directly to the MDR at 1130 or if we did a walk around the ship first. We don't carry a lot of stuff with us, but enough that we usually don't do a lot of wandering around until we have had a chance to leave those things in our cabin.

mafig Posted November 2, 2017 #10 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Thanks, Stan, I remember when Bistro on Five didn't open till 12:00, even though it was supposed to be 11:30 and we ended up going to the buffet .... several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harz99 Posted November 2, 2017 #14 Share Posted November 2, 2017 The charge for the embarkation day lunch at the Porch on ships that have it was substantially more than the old 10usd in Bistro on 5 when I enquired on RF about 15 months ago. It was empty at 1300 and stayed empty as we declined the offer. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that, it was probably the only place that wasn’t crowded on that sailing. Should have taken my pool towel in there :D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
