MattG Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 What’s your go-to Embarkation Day Lunch? Windjammer is the go-to for a majority of cruisers, but I assume most people don’t know what else is even open. MDR has the Chops Grille lunch menu for The Key holders, but what’s left? I remember going to Park Cafe on Grandeur a few years ago right after boarding, and it was a ghost town. Inspired by Tip #3 in today’s main site post (https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2022/01/21/10-tips-worked-out-our-royalcaribbeanblogcom-staffers-2021), I haven’t even thought about Playmakers, this will likely be our go-to when we hit Oasis in October.

IRMO12HD Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Park Cafe and Solarium are two of my favorites. cruisellama and PPPJJ-GCVAB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PG Cruiser Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 I missed lunch at Windjammer by a few minutes and the crew suggested I try Park Café. I loved their roast beef sandwich. The salad was also good. IRMO12HD and MattG 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seafarer Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 We like to stroll the decks and nibble our way thru. Ms Seafarer is excited to try El Loco next week. fmzsep12 and MattG 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda R Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Solarium is my go-to for lunch on first day. Not very crowded and good. If I have UDP I go to Chops. Neesa and PPPJJ-GCVAB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPS Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Park Café or the Solarium are our usual lunch stops since the WJ can get so busy. (with Pre-COVID crowds anyway) This coming week, however, we want to try out El Loco Fresh on Odyssey. IRMO12HD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Any idea if/when solarium bistro will be open? Is it normally open for embarkation lunch? It doesn’t even appear in my app currently for a March Harmony sailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barjpoe Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 On Mariner, on embarkation Day, would Chops be open for lunch? I'm staying in a JS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Va4fam Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 We prefer El Loco Fresh or Playmakers depending on which sporting event is televised that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattG Posted January 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 So many options on Oasis-class! I totally forgot about Cafe Two70 on Anthem, i felt like all we had was Windjammer (Solarium Bistro wasn't open) PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonCruiser Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 We never had a real go-to before. Our first cruise, we ended up getting on just before muster, then our luggage came and we were so hungry and exhausted we just ordered room service. For our second and 3rd I think we did Windjammer and Sorrento's respectively. But on our 4th cruise we were on Odyssey and had access to Coastal Kitchen. It was so nice to sit back in a calm atmosphere and enjoy being waited on that I'm pretty sure it has become an instant go to if the ship has one. And fortunately we're on Allure this year!
