kirin Posted August 11, 2014 #301 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I've heard HAL is replacing the Veendam's aft retreat with a wading pool of caramel. Is that true? Loyal cruisers on Crystal claim to be "Crystalized"..........can HAL cruisers now claim to be "caramelized"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted August 11, 2014 #302 Share Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) Just wondering...If I remove the hotel service charge from my bill, what happens to my pie? Will I have to return it? If that's my intention, should I just refuse the pie in the first place? Thanks everyone for a really good laugh. I just got to this thread tonight. Eat the pie before you remove the tips, then if they want it returned it's their problem. Edited August 11, 2014 by GUT2407 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COLLEYBERRY Posted August 11, 2014 #305 Share Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) I thought she married a prince:p;) Please, we do not need any additives to the taste of the caramel - please be considerate of your fellow cruisers. thank you:p:D Ya mean we get a pie AND a prince !!!...I have heard there is competition between cruise lines,,,but this really takes the cake...i mean pie.:) Edited August 11, 2014 by COLLEYBERRY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1of4 Posted August 11, 2014 #306 Share Posted August 11, 2014 This thread is priceless! :):p I have to thank everyone for contributing and if there ever is an "apple" cruise please sign us up!! I just did a search and came up with 10 short Apple jokes. Imagine, when I put the subject into Google I got jokes about Apple technology, not apple the fruit. My how times have changed and how I have not! #10 Why did the apple go to the doctor? Because he felt rotten to the core. #9 What did the apple tree say to the hungry caterpillar? Leaf me alone! #8 How do you hide an elephant? Paint his toenails red and put him in an apple tree! #7 Why didn't Noah like apples? Because he preferred pears (pairs)! #6 What kind of apple has a bad temper? A crab apple! #5 Why did the apple cry? It's peelings were hurt! #4 Why was the apple alone with the orange? Because the banana split! #3 Why did the apple stop running? He ran out of juice! #2 How do you make an apple turnover? Push it down hill! #1 What do you call an apple with tummy problems? A tooty fruity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

innlady1 Posted August 11, 2014 #309 Share Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) Is there any truth to the rumor that Applebee's is replacing the Pinnacle Grill on all ship?

babyher Posted August 11, 2014 #310 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I know skeet shooting has disappeared from cruise ships for many years now But archery may make a big comeback in the all new William Tell Lounges , coming soon to a HAL ship near you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jennifer Lawrence is made an onboard celebrity archer I think HAL sales will go way up. Well other things will go up too but sales I bet are one. ;) I'd book that cruise in an Big Apple minute!

Lizzie68 Posted August 11, 2014 #315 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I found an apple core under the bed with a bit of dust on it..... can I remove all my HSC at the very end of the cruise?

People wanted a less expensive dining option and have been complaining about the surcharge in the Pinnacle.... I heard the same thing! :eek: It MUST be the truth! What will they do with all that fancy china? Maybe they will give it away instead of tiles. Frequent cruisers will end up with a service for eight in no time. It's amazing how something as innocent as an apple pie has created such a ripple in the cruise industry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaspersmycat Posted August 11, 2014 #317 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Will there be a big announcement when they resume special "Big Apple Cruises" from NYC with an extra allotment of apple pie per cabin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMLady Posted August 11, 2014 #318 Share Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) Oh Dear didn't realize that some have never heard of Apple Pan Dowdy.. There once was a song about it: "Shoo Fly Pie & Apple Pan Dowdy" Here are 10 recipes: http://www.momsfreerecipes.com/?a=455002&s1=googsearch&s2=&s3=&title=Top+10+Apple+Pan+Dowdy+Recipes&headline=Apple+Pan+Dowdy&image=http://www.prodlinks.com/images/apple-pan-dowdy.jpg Thank you for all the information about Apple Pan Dowdy. Since I don't want to be accused of wearing dowdy clothes, I was concerned about eating apples that are dowdy. rolleyes: Edited August 11, 2014 by NMLady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marysb Posted August 11, 2014 #319 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I heard they were bringing back trays to hold all this pie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted August 12, 2014 Author #320 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I heard they were bringing back trays to hold all this pie! Yes, you are right. I have it on a very good source (very upper but of course I can't quote it as I don't want him to lose his job) that indeed the trays will be back for the pies. But ONLY the pies. After that they will be collected. They will NOT be allowed in the Lido - only in the aft at the caramel pool. ;) I know, I have connections:p:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ships sailing to Alaska or the Med it is reversed . The trays will be out on Lido, BUT cannot be used for pie. This was told to me by the Director of Pies and Trays on The Eurodam ,who is a third cousin twice removed on my mother's side. But I cannot tell you his name because he really doesn't exist. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaM Posted August 12, 2014 #325 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I just can't read all the comments due to jet lag. One thing I wanted to mention is that one of our tablemates actually got the cook to make her "lactose free" creme brulee. The waiter was very forthcoming about offering that service for her. I thought people with that affliction were able to take pills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
