Definitely more variety at the buffet than in the dining room. But the dining room is a much more relaxed and calm experience compared to the often crowded experience at the embarkation day buffet filled with passengers unfamiliar with the buffet layout and what it offers. After possibly coping with crowds at airports and on a plane and with the lines at cruise check-in, embarkation day lunch in the dining room is a great way to be pampered as you switch into vacation mode. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are your exact words that I commented on, quoted directly from your post #26: "I haven't asked them in years since I know they're just trained parrots. But just to be clear, there is a lot of willful misinformation that is transmitted on Princess cruises, just go to the Guest Services desk." It appears that I can read just fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did someone say staff was lying to passengers for they own nefarious reasons? Start calling me names if you want, but whether a job requirement or not, it is a lie. I've also encountered that that more than once. The words "willful misinformation" implies nefarious reasons. I don't get my knickers all in a bunch over the same things that you allow yourself to be. I have much more useful activities I would rather do than allow myself to feel the victim of such an insignificant incident. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And again, you stretch things to support your need to be upset (dare I say offended). You need to use words like nefarious. No poster has implied criminal, wicked, or evil intent. They simply called it a lie, which is a fact. I never said anything that would indicate I was a victim or upset. I was responding to your unnecessarily excessive comments. Take a deep breath.

Sabatini's - $25. Open for dinner/reservations suggested. I've reached Room Service on Embarkation Day, but haven't tried ordering anything. Some have mentioned they do not take orders/deliver during those first few hours. Most of the items on the Room Service Menu are complimentary. Pizza and other high end dinners may cost you. Ordered pizza once...charged, ordered again...no charge. Take out from Alfredo's has a charge. Edited September 9, 2022 by cr8tiv1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen that flyer and I've sailed out of Pier 27 many times when the Grand was ported here. Are you one of those people that ignores the stewards at the top of the gangway and run past them? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never been handed a flyer. Not sure what part of that you didn't understand.

We've always done that, including our very first Princess cruise, when we were advised by my SIL to that rather than dealing with the buffet. Up until now, we've never encountered a 6th Fl. MDR not being open for lunch on embarkation day. On one occasion we were near the forward elevators and the crew member adamantly told us that we could not take the elevator down to the dining room (because it wasn't open) and that we had to go up to the buffet. We just ignored him and took the midship elevators down to the 6th fl. dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
