Dress Code for Chops Grill Embarkation Day Lunch

[Crazy planning mom]

I know for dinner at Chops, you have to be dressed nicely. What about lunch? Could my husband and teenage son get away with khaki shorts? Please dont flame me.

Yes.

Khaki shorts is what I will be wearing to lunch at Cagney’s on my cruise. Lunch is more casual so nice shorts will be fine.

Repeat after me..."What other people think of me is none of my business". Basic etiquette, some common sense, and you do you. Have a GREAT cruise!

Thank you all.

We have gotten in the habit of wearing the same thing embarkation day all day. No one cares. Just say your bags aren’t there. But no one will ask you because no one cares. Especially the first day.

We always dress at night per dress suggestions, but lunch is always super casual, really enjoyed chops had lunch there 5 days on last cruise , great idea for embarkation , it is also a free perk if in a full suite

Thanks. We aren't in a suite but thought that would be a nice way to start the cruise.

Wore shorts and tee shirt on Freedom last week to boarding day lunch in Chops so did others. Very casual ,away from the windjammer rush. Great way to start the Cruise and it's even better when you get it on sale in the cruise planer. Keep Checking.

What ship are you sailing on? Chops may not be open for lunch on embarkation day.

It may be open for gold card holders but they grab their food in the Windjammer and

eat in Chops. Depending on the ship, they may or may not be serving food in there

on the first day.

I am traveling on Harmony of the Seas on 3/31 and was able to make a reservation for lunch. Getting excited.

I've worn shorts to lunch in specialties on embarkation day and after. It's no biggie, it's lunch. The restaurants are happy for any extra revenue they can generate.

We're having lunch in Chops on Grandeur on boarding day next month. We're wearing jeans. Boarding day is different since a lot of people will have traveled, even if it's only an hour or two. We're driving same day from NoVA to Baltimore, so less than 1.5 hours, but I'm dressing the way I always do. Shorts are fine.

On embarkation day anything goes, for lunch or dinner. Bags do not always arrive prior to your scheduled dinner, or you may not have time to unpack. We always go to a specialty dinner the first 2 nights to take advantage of the Diamond Plus BOGO's.

I believe most ships now have lunch there first day, gold cards get this as a free perk, they can check planner and it should be listed along with price and menu , this is new .

Is this actually true on Oasis class since there is Coastal Kitchen for suites? We have had many suites but never had free Chops offer.

Yes, when I was on the Navigator in Jan I was pleasantly surprised about the free lunch in Chops

during sea days for gold card members. They offered it on embarkation day as well. Fast forward

to last week and they discontinued the freebie. I was thoroughly disappointed as I already had in

my mind what I was going to order.

Yes, jeans and shorts are just fine for embarkation day.

Free Chops would only be for Star Class suite guests on Oasis and Quantum class ships.

Thanks that’s what I thought. We are in our first CLS on Harmony and had not seen this.

Only dinner applies to the "suggested dress"...and it's only a suggestion. During the day, shorts/tees/flip-flops are what most are wearing. Don't wear your bathing suit into a restaurant or lounge about in the inside spaces....cover your bathing suit when you're not at the pool.

Gold cards are for those staying in a Grand Suite or above. Their seapasses are gold.
