SAmome Posted July 25, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Considering paying for a sit down restaurant to avoid lugging carry-ons around until rooms open. Any opinions? On FOS if that matters. Rooms still open up around 1pm or is 2pm more likely? I assume it's ok to roll small suitcases into the restaurant. Are there any other non buffet options boarding day that one might recommend to hang out and wait for rooms to open? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relaxatsea Posted July 25, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2022 A few months ago, after boarding the Oasis, we had a great lunch at Giovanni's, highly recommend! We had our rolling small suitcases with us, and we just tucked them away in a corner behind our table. We also highly recommend El Loco Fresh, easy, fast, and no long lines.

LB_NJ Posted July 25, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 25, 2022 A few months ago on Anthem we did a boarding day lunch at Giovanni's. We were happy with the choice. The food was OK, definitely better then the buffet. Not as good as the Italian restaurant on the Celebrity ships but not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare CatLadyFemme Posted July 26, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Very enjoyable, and yes, though we usually just have a pool bag and a small back pack with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What time would you suggest reserving to make sure you are on the ship in time for it? I am sailing Anthem in October from Southampton for the transatlantic and was considering this, but I thought it was Jamie's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice covered outside seating area if it’s a sunny autumn day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cublet Posted July 26, 2022 #10 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Hello, Polishing my 'miserable git' credentials, I am not going to pay extra for odd seats, odd place settings and no tablecloth. Not even with my $25 Pinnacle discount am I going in there. Bring back Portofino's. Regards, Cublet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
