Wonder- Lunch the 1st Day

[Weedy]

Lunch is served at Cabanas and ??
It has been Cabanas and Parrot Key. So will it be Tiana's?

I believe Tritons serves lunch on the Wonder but I checked the navigator from a couple of weeks ago on the 7 day departing from Galveston and there was no dining room listed as open for lunch on embarkation day.

Thanks.Good idea. I looked at some old Navigators and Tritons was open on many of the cruises on the Wonder.

It's my understanding that they removed the buffet table in Parrot Cay when they transformed it to Tiana's. And lunch on embarkation day is no longer being served there.

Table service lunch was in Triton's on the Dec 30th sailing. We enjoyed it!

On embarkation day?

I know Triton's does table service lunch on all other days, but I don't think it's usually on embarkation day.

Yes, Dec 30th was my embarkation day and we ate lunch there that day. Sorry, wasn't very clear!

Then may I ask you where they did the dining changes? That's usually in Triton's, right?

In the past we've gone to Wavebands for dining changes.

In the Promenade Lounge. They did the alcohol tasting sign-ups at the bar, and off to the other side of the stage - they had the dining request CMs stationed at the little tables by the long booth that flanks the toddler play area. I confirmed an allergy was noted for our table, and that we had a private table for my family. It was all pretty convenient, I have to say - lunch, mixology sign-up, and dining notes confirmed all right there in the same area of the ship!

Was Triton's table service the day you boarded? Or buffet?
Did you enter from the lobby or the hallway next to/behind Triton's?

Table service only. It was a good range of options, though. I had a vegetarian pasta dish, the other adults in my group had a beef roast of some sort, I know there was a caesar salad with chicken (b/c that was what my dad was going to order before he saw the beef at a neighboring table), pretty sure I remember a mufalatta sandwich, definitely more that I'm not remembering off the top of my head... seemed to cover all the bases. The kids menu had mac n cheese and mini-burgers for sure, b/c that was the first of many, many of those that my children ordered!

 

[Weedy]

Thanks. Very interesting. I've never seen Disney do a menu service the first day. Was it very crowded?
We are sailing on the 3 day out of Port Canaveral in a few weeks. It will be interesting to see if they still do this.

I didn't think so. Maybe 1/4 full when we were seated, a bit over 1/2 full when we left. Even though you got on the ship right there, I think most people just walked away from that area immediately. They were only seating from the hallway entrance near Promenade, not from the fancier entrance with the stairs, so perhaps it wasn't obvious to everyone that it was open for lunch. I had planned to avoid Cabanas that day b/c of DH's dietary restrictions, so I did make a point of seeing what restaurant was open, which others might not. Especially considering the comparative ease of handling DH's allergy vs later Cabanas lunches, it was a very pleasant first meal.

Thanks. We're excited to see the new Wonder.

Me too! March, for us!

Tritons was not busy when we boarded 12/2. The crew were inviting guests upstairs to Cabanas. I think most didn't realize there was a second option.

We were on the 11/25/2016 cruise and we could choose between Cabanas or Triton's on embarkation day. We chose Triton's and it was laid back and quiet. We will do the same for our cruise on the Wonder this November.
