janroatan Posted July 17, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Suggestions for where to go for a relaxing lunch after checking in and boarding? Regal Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxmantoo Posted July 17, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Head straight to the Dining Room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDDY0827 Posted July 17, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Concerto Dining Room offers a full table service, Alfredo's Pizza (not to be missed, imho), International Cafe has small sandwiches as salads. If you like the hustle and bustle of lines and crowds, the Horizon Court/Bistro buffet and the Lido deck 16 may be more to your liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettyCruiser Posted July 17, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I had a nice boarding day lunch at Alfredo's last time I was on Regal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JimmyVWine Posted July 17, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Second vote for Alfredos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare trbarton Posted July 17, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 17, 2022 You’ll always find me in the MDR as soon as they open, 12 noon. Love the table service & relaxing with a drink. Remember if you ask most staff they will direct you to the buffet. Tom 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare trinitygirl Posted July 17, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I headed straight to Alfredo's for my embarkation day lunch on the Regal. It was very quiet (most people were out in Helsinki) and the pizza is scrumptious. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare tml1230 Posted July 17, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 17, 2022 another vote for Alfredos on the regal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelers36 Posted July 17, 2022 #9 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Alfredo's has been a good option for us. Recently have done the DR lunch a couple of times, but never used to go in our early years with Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepCalmBearOn Posted July 18, 2022 #10 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I head to the Lido Deck and see what the Pizza of the Day is at Prego Pizzeria and the Daily Specials at the Trident Grill and decide if that is where I want to eat or not. If neither of those appeal, Alfredo's then Horizon Court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyVeteran Posted July 18, 2022 #11 Share Posted July 18, 2022 The MDR is open from 12:00 noon to 1:30 pm on embarkation day. It is usually not crowded, since most people go to the buffet - and most staff direct you to the buffet. If you board later than 1:30 pm, you will need to choose another option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't suggest it at 1:25 PM but they probably would still let you in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjmatty Posted July 18, 2022 #13 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Anyone know if Club Class is open for lunch on embarking day? I seem to remember something about being closed on port days but don't know if that counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rehab444 Posted July 18, 2022 #14 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Yes, Club Class is open for lunch on embarking day. At least, that has been our experience in the past several cruises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee_Jay Posted July 18, 2022 #15 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I'm currently on Crown Princess. We were very disappointed that the dining room was NOT open for lunch on embarkation day. We were looking forward to the avocado shrimp appetizer, and we didn't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always get that appetizer. And whatever the beef is and then souffle for dessert. Start the cruise off with a bang! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like their short on crew members. What other things will be cut back or eliminated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
