VibeGuy Posted March 14, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 14, 2023 The appetisers include grilled vegetables with Italian meats, bay shrimp salad with avocado and a Tuscan-style vegetable soup. The pasta is a cheese ravioli with marinara. The entrees include a cheeseburger, beef tenderloin, salmon or chicken cacciatore. The desserts include an orange soufflé. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crew is instructed to direct you to the buffet. The embarkation day lunch menu seems to be the same one offered on every ship for many years. I recommend the souffle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crew is instructed to direct you to the buffet. Knowing that you can avoid the buffet for embarkation lunch is one of the best tips I've picked up here. The MDR was mostly empty, I'd guess above 20% occupied. The lunch menu on the Diamond I sailed out of San Diego in February had a different lunch menu than the one posted above. I specifically remember ordering mango ice cream, and the waiter did a double take because he wasn't aware it was on the menu and it became a running joke between us the rest of the meal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvtoteach Posted March 14, 2023 #15 Share Posted March 14, 2023 When we boarded the Ruby in Feb., we were handed a paper that listed all of the dining venues that were open. The first time in 20 cruises that the crew admitted that the dining room was open! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is where I looked. Thanks for letting me know. We get on the Crown when you get off. I am hoping that we will be on board before the MDR closes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhonda We always go to the MDR for embarkation lunch or Alfredo’s. The buffet is such chaos the first day and you literally wander around and around holding your plate to find a seat and your food gets cold. No thank you! We like our first day to be relaxing and comfortable. The food is so much nicer in the MDR, too. So many people walk by Alfredo’s not realizing it’s complimentary dining. Don’t tell! lol On some of the newest ships Alfredo’s is renamed Gigi’s. Edited March 15, 2023 by Lady Arwen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissP22 Posted March 15, 2023 #22 Share Posted March 15, 2023 We went to Gigi's on the the first day in Dec, which was OK but then I found out that at the buffet they were carving roasted turkey ! 🦃 😃 If you're early to board there's never any problem finding seats at the buffet. It only gets crowded later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
