No more embarkation day lunch in the MDR fleetwide!
happytotravel replied to Real NHDOC's topic in Holland America Line
Hello Miss G and Others, NCL also never let on that the MDR was open on embarkation day. Probably other cruise lines do the same. Have a great day! happytotravel -
Thank you all, Those photos are great. I will be very happy with that style tea. happytotravel

Hi, Is "High Tea" still done during a cruise or any other type of "tea"? I will be on the Volendam in June. Thanks, happytotravel

Hi All, I did get a reply back today from Customer Service which I've pasted below from the email I sent them the other day. We will just have to wait and see what happens. If enough folks contact them maybe they will reverse their decision. happytotravel ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Holland America Ship Services Good Day, Thank you very much for submitting your comments regarding the embarkation lunch on board our ships.

happytotravel replied to Real NHDOC's topic in Holland America Line
Hello All, I just sent the following email to HAL stating my concern over their closing the MDR for lunch on embarkation day. I have always enjoyed being able to go there and having a relaxing lunch on my cruises with NCL I was hoping to experience the same on HAL. Perhaps if others do the same they "might" reverse their decision. happytotravel ========================================================== HAL_Ship_Services@hollandamerica.com Good Morning, I wanted to write and say how disappointed I am in reading on Cruise Critic's website that the MDR will no longer be open for lunch on embarkation day. I am aware, as on many other lines, it is kept a "secret" in order to keep the numbers small in the dining room. But, it has always been a wonderful place to have a quiet lunch after the stress of traveling for those who know the area is available. I do hope HAL will reconsider, ==========================================================- 166 replies

Yes, I agree. If there is anyone who doesn't want their tiles on my Volendam June 01 or June 08 cruises let me know and I will be able more than happy to take them. Thanks, happytotravel

Thank you all, I will try and head toward the MDR where I'm sure will be quieter. It is the same on NCL. The crew will only mention the buffet area in order to keep the numbers down in the MDR. Have a wonderful day planning your next cruise, happytotravel

Thank you Racephoto, That photo looks very, very tasty. I haven't sailed on any of the Carnival lines in the past. I've done the majority on NCL with one Viking river cruise so I'll get my Mariner star on the 2nd cruise. I think it's always fun to be able to get a little extra if possible. I've enjoyed those extras on NCL for years. On embarkation day of my first cruise is the Lido the only place for eating or is the MDR also open? Again, thanks for your response, happytotrave.

Hello Again, I've contacted my PCC and she changed my dining option to open seating. It was quick and easy. Have a good night. happytotravel
