Where to eat on embarkation?

[Tinkerbellsparkle]

On my last cruise with Celebrity we were lucky to go Concierge class and were invited for Concierge lunch in the dining room after embarking.

This time we are not that special, we are mere steerage :'), just wondering which eating areas will be serving lunch away from the Windjammer to avoid the crowds? Thank you

Not sure if this will help? We are a family of 5 adults on embarkation day we normally sit in Schooners. 2-3, of us, sit with the carry-on bags and the rest gets food and drinks for all of us from the Promenade. We enjoy this as there is no hauling the carry-ons around and no playing hunt the table in the Windjammer.

We eat a LATE breakfast before boarding, so we don't need to eat right away. We can get a snack a bit later, after the crowds have dispersed.

Solarium Cafe, Wipeout Cafe, Park Cafe, Cafe Promenade, Sorrento's.

Park cafe in central park.

Found this posted by BirdTravels from a March 2018 Allure cruise, so probably will be similar for my September cruise.

Thank you. And Boardwalk Dog House, maybe?

Yes, the Dog House too.

The best place for lunch is Park Café on deck 8.

 

Excellent salads - decent roast beef sandwiches - chips & desserts.

 

Beautiful outdoor setting looking up to an open sky with real trees and flowers.

 

Of course if you have access to Coastal Kitchen - that's a no brainer.

Love going to the Windjammer on embarkation day. It's exciting even with the crowd.

Haha! I was just thinking the same. Great minds think alike!

Always head to Park Cafe and take our food over to Vintages and sit outside.

We've done several things--Park Café is lovely for salads, soup, and sandwiches; Sorrentos if pizza will satisfy; or specialty dining, especially Giovanni's Table(outside dining) it's great to people watch as newbies get their first view of Central Park.

 

Our biggest favorite is still Windjammer, as DH loves the choices, and as we are usually on the ship early, we get there before the crowds. It's all good and the best part is that wherever you choose to have your first onboard meal--now the vacation has started!
