Nothing for our Dec 16 Westerdam. Amazing how losing the $25 discount off the $250 beverage card took place instantaneously, but passenger conveniences take a bit longer to surface. I guess IT has its priorities :)

Thank you for this information.

I thought that it might take longer for HAL to start allowing people to book the Canaletto online.

I just checked our sailing of the Maasdam for December 21.. and yes Canaletto was a reservation option...The way they are pitching it is :

Named for a famous 18th-century Venetian artist, Canaletto is your destination onboard for an intimate Italian dinner. The evening begins with the chefs selection of antipasti with a taste of the delicious fare and personal, polished service to follow. Three courses il primo, il secondo, and il dolci are offered, carefully selected to focus on fresh, authentic regional Italian cuisine. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, or simply desire a romantic alternative to the main Dining Room, reservations at Canaletto can be made in advance of your departure for $10 per person. We look forward to welcoming you to Canaletto at least once during your voyage.

Astute observation. ;)

Isn't that the truth. OP, thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info. I checked my cruises and all three (Pinnacle, Le Cirque, and Canaletto) are available online for the 7- and 8-day cruises. No Le Cirque for the 4-day cruise.

Cannaletto is also available online for Feb. 2 Eurodam

Also on our NA July sailing. The description does not mention the free wine, I wonder if that has gone the way of the discounted beverage cards as well?

It seems funny that they gave you a glass of wine when Caneletto was free and it seems to be gone now that you pay for the meal. Odd.

I would guess that the "free wine" was just an 'enticement' for one to book dinner at the Canaletto when the surcharge was initiated! ;)

Hunh??? We never got any free wine when we ate in a Canaletto on three different ships! :(

Wine was not free when the Canaletto had no charge. When HAL first introduced the $10 fee for the Canaletto on a couple of ships, one of the "perks" was a free glass of house wine or soda. Now that it's on all ships, they did away with that perk.

Thanks OP for that information, knew it would eventually be offered on Hal web site for dinner reservation, when they started to charge for it.

[rgaudet]

Dumb question, but why are you charged upfront when you reserve online? Is it just to make sure people don't make a bunch of reservations they don't keep?
