love to cruz Posted June 26, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2023 We are not buffet people & are wondering if there is anywhere else to have lunch on our first day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare prmssk Posted June 26, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 26, 2023 If you are in a suite, Luminae. If you are in Concierge class, the MDR. The Mast Grill will likely be open. And for a fee, Sushi on 5 will likely be open. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gia2cats Posted June 27, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 27, 2023 On our Alaskan Millennium cruise last week, we were in Concierge class. No embarkation lunch. Instead it was moved to one of the other days. We did not partake since we were busy. Not sure if this is fleetwide, maybe due to later departing from Alaskan ports.

Rare cruisestitch Posted June 27, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) From reports on Cruise Critic, that does happen on some Alaska itineraries. Edited June 27, 2023 by cruisestitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was aware that Blu does not open for lunch. Spa Cafe would have been fine. I don't do buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is much smaller and has healthier options and far fewer people. The big buffet is not my cup of tea. We will head to the sushi bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted July 2, 2023 #10 Share Posted July 2, 2023 The last 3-4 times I've been on Equinox, Spa cafe was not open on embarkation day. Very disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare horseymike Posted July 2, 2023 #11 Share Posted July 2, 2023 There is a McDonalds about 1 1/2 miles north of Port Everglades on US 1. 🤣 Only kidding, hope you have a great cruise 🚢 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Researcher Posted October 5, 2023 #12 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Is it very likely that Sushi on 5 will be open on embarkation day lunch? I'm used to booking a specialty lunch on embarkation on our Royal sailings to avoid the buffet madhouse that day. I'm good with Sushi on 5 if that is open. No reservation required for lunch that day right? and we can order ala carte? (we sailed Equinox back in 2017 and I do seem to remember eating sushi for lunch on embarkation day, ala carte) Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
