Rare lazydayz Posted November 20, 2023 #3 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Pretty sure all ships are doing the Diamond brunch now. There were over 100 Diamonds on the Pride last week, and we had a lovely lunch on the first sea day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my 5-day Valor cruise over Halloween week there were only 30-something of us. Apparently that's not enough for lunch, so we got a cocktail party with passed hors d'oeuvres in the Paris Hot Lounge--which didn't make much sense for a reception before noon. On every other ship where the event was a cocktail party, it's been in the late afternoon or evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t recall a single breakfast item. Our entree choices were filet, gnocchi or crab cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had one at 10AM one time. Can't remember the last time they had it in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had it before, always with lunch items on the menu and the entree choices are usually steak, a seafood option, and a vegetarian option. I just about always go because the quality is better than just about anything else available for lunch. I usually get the steak, which is always a better cut than the everyday menu steak in the MDR for dinner or the steak and eggs at brunch. 2 minutes ago, Jamman54 said: It seems like even the cocktail receptions are all held earlier in the day.

Since the restart I've only had one sailing with the cocktail party instead of lunch--on Splendor out of Australia last year--and that was in the evening. Before the restart the cocktail parties were always in the evening, so this is my first morning cocktail party. I don't see a logical reason for scheduling them in the morning, other than encouraging people not to come because they don't want to go to a cocktail party that early.
