Lunch on embarkation day

[wripro]

Does Windstar serve luck on day of embarkation, specifically on Star Pride, Breeze and Legend? Thanks.

That's supposed to be lunch, not luck.

Yes, lunch is served on the day of embarking in the Veranda.

Very casual gathering.  Stay for a snack or spend two hours meeting everyone. Come prepared to talk as much as eat and you will likely make new lifelong friends long before the first sail-away.

It's really more than a snack. It's a full lunch- they were even serving prime rib the day we boarded. It's wonderful.

We have been on 7 Windstar cruises on both the power and sail boats and a full lunch has always been served on embarkation day.

In the deep past it was just a sort of snack - I remember it set up by the pool on the Spirit/Star, but of late it has always been a full lunch. We've fallen into the pattern of dropping off our bags and going through formalities as soon as embarkation begins and then grabbing lunch. Among other things, it gives us first crack at Candles reservation.

 

Then we either hang out, unpack, grab a drink, whatever. Or, if the weather is nice and the port is close to the city we may get back off and wander around a bit more.

Thanks for all the replies. Guess I'll have a light breakfast that morning.

Sorry, a poor choice of words on my part.  Yes it is usually a full lunch.  But the casual format can fit anyone's preferences.  Sometimes it seems like folks don't stop by the Veranda on embarkation because they are not considering lunch, just beverages and socializing.  The setting seems to work for all, not just those seeking a full, seated lunch.

We usually have a light breakfast before boarding- remember the food is included..... if you don't get enough, order more!
