Lunch in dining room on embarkation day

[luv2getaway]

I know that there are cruiselines that open the dining room for lunch on embarkation day. Does anyone know if this is the case on the Amsterdam?

I could be wrong, but I think the dining room is only open for lunch on the vista-class ships. I am sure someone who knows a whole lot more than me about this subject will chime in, but from what I remember, it's only those ships that have lunch available in the DR on the first day.

I think it might sometimes be open on Maasdam. We always go to Lido so have never actually checked for ourselves to see if it is open.

Generally the dining room is only open for lunch on a cruise that is transitioning....for example when the Veendam goes from Tampa to Vancouver in the spring. When the ship stops in San Diego the dining room is open. On the other hand, when a ship ends a 7,10, or 15 day cruise in the same port as it began, then the dining room staff will have the debark/embark day off.

For quite some time now -- nearly a year or more -- only the Vista class ships have had the dining room open for lunch on embarkation day -- Noon to 1 PM.

The Eurodam -- now that she has stopped inviting people -- TA's and special guests -- has finally opened its dining room for the passengers. It was open on our Nov 22 and Nov 29 cruises.

Thanks for the information. I am a little disappointed since I know how crazy the lido gets on embarkation day! Oh well, I am still so excited about our cruise:D
