Neesa 963 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 @Lovetocruise2002, @WAAAYTOOOSince sailing on Mariner of the Seas in cabin 1854 panoramic suite for the first time on a voyager class, would you suggest Chops for embarkation lunch or do they provide a "suite lunch" offering? I have previously only enjoyed a Coastal Kitchen experience, thanks so much for your thoughts and suggestions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lovetocruise2002 11,526 Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 When on ship without CK, we usually just do WJ unfortunately. I know that Chops or Giovanni’s is usually open for people to eat in, but you still have to go get your own food from WJ and bring it in there. Not sure if those restaurants are actually “open” with service for lunch on embarkation day. When we sailed Mariner in August 2018, that was the case. Chops was available for suite guests to bring their plates into but you couldn’t actually order from there. Neesa 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WAAAYTOOO 12,132 Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 If you have the Unlimited Dining Package then you can eat in one of the specialty restaurants on embarkation day.....or can choose to eat at one of them if you want to pay full lunch price. There is no Coastal Kitchen on Mariner so it's either the one of the complimentary places or one of the specialty places. Neesa 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CGTLH 2,646 Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 Back in October on Mariner they did offer a Suite guest lunch in the main dining room on embarkation. Now I will add it was nothing special and not sure if changes between voyages. Think the lunch was mentioned in the letter/email from the Concierge.

Neesa 963 Posted January 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 @CGTLH, That is something good to know, no mention of any suite guest lunch anywhere while researching & I really appreciate the menu image. If similar to DCL suite lunch the menu would probably be the same. @Lovetocruise2002 & @WAAAYTOOO, after reading your response last night I went on cruise planner and booked 1200hrs embarkation lunch offering at Chops. The menu was something we would enjoy and we prefer to start any sailing with a celebratory relaxing and somewhat quiet lunch. It was 21.99 each as being only a 4 night on the Mariner with limited options I wasn't feeling the UDP. I am so appreciate of the menu presented above as I know I made the correct choice, it falls a bit flat compared to the Chops lunch offerings. Thanks for all of your help friends!

Lovetocruise2002 11,526 Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 We're in 1854 on Adventure this coming July. I am just going to suck it up and go to the WJ... Ogilthorpe and Neesa 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KBugNC 19 Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 We do The Key package and you get a Chops lunch in the main dining room. I love not having to be with all of the crowds in WJ. WAAAYTOOO and Neesa 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
