Zenith lunch?

[39august]

First cruise as Zenith next month. Can someone please tell me about typical Zenith lunch on board?

[wrk2cruise]

You would be better served to ask Zenith specific questions on the private FB page dedicated to Zenith members, at least one of which welcomes status match Zeniths.

It is a lunch on a sea day.  You will receive a invitation during the cruise.

Typically the captain and other senior officers attend.  Multiple salad choices.  Multiple entree choices.  Wine is included.  A group photo is taken which will be delivered prior to the end of the cruise.

Is this usually in the MDR or at a specialty restaurant? PS. I don't do FB at all, therefore my questions are asked here.

Lunch venue varies but every time I've been invited to a Zenith lunch it's been held in Blu.

 

Below is a typical Zenith lunch menu.  The appetizers are usually served family style.  Wine is also served.  There is assigned seating.

 

Sometimes officers attend the Zenith lunch......and sometimes they do not.  It varies, so you are never guaranteed to have senior officers attending.

 

Hope this helps!

That is an older menu.  In July corporate pushed a new standard menu to the ships.  I was on a B2B and the new menu was introduced on the second sailing.  Ours actually didn't include the Calamari or Shrimp starters listed on this menu but the mains are "standard".   No Filet anymore.

Congratulations on hitting Zenith.   I would recommend that you call the Zenith Desk, the number is in your membership pack.   You  will normally have your Zenith Initiation Celebration on the Bridge and would be good to remind them this is your first cruise since hitting Zenith.   You can invite a reasonable number of guests to celebrate with you.

 

Recently Mario on Edge was a perfect Host and arranged meet and greet with a competition and arranged a Hula Greeting

I believe OP is Zenith by status match from RCL Pinnacle.

[39august]

Yes, we are. But we have cruised X exclusively since our first X cruise on Silly Dec. 2017.

Congrats to you on the achievement. Sometimes new Zeniths are referred to as baby Zeniths in their infancy but no matter what, enjoy your celebration. Take a lot of pictures around your Zenith cake and enjoy the lunch usually held in Blu on the last sea day. 
 

Onward to Zenith 2!

If Zenith by status match from Royal then I don’t believe there would be a Zenith ceremony.

Correct.  And if for some reason they do start adding that in addition to all the other perks they get which are so much better than our reciprocal ones , then I think it will start a mutiny!

The entrées may be standard, but the rest is not. Sometimes there is sushi with the appetizers. Sometimes not.  Sometimes they pass a platter of grilled vegetables.

One night when I was eating at the Porch with friends on Celebrity Reflection, there was a zenith group having dinner there so maybe it isn’t always a lunch, at least it wasn’t that night

You are 100% correct.   I wasn't aware they were Zenith by Status Match.
