dakrewser Posted January 12, 2016 #26 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Her last mention of the Tam that I can find was Oct 4. I want to hear it from someone who saw it closed for lunch every day of a cruise sometime in the last 6 weeks.. <waving hand> That would be me. The Tam on the NA was only open for dinner (one month ago). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz chic Posted January 12, 2016 #27 Share Posted January 12, 2016 <waving hand> That would be me. The Tam on the NA was only open for dinner (one month ago). I hope you went and made sure it was closed ;). Now that I think of it I'm likely thinking about the custom made sandwiches (no longer available) on the NA but I'm not sure about it. Heaven forbid that I mention it without doing a through investigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted January 12, 2016 #28 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I love those Thai doughnuts. I haven't had the fortune cookie for years. Last time I had it, it was huge. The fortune cookie is still huge. But I found that on the Eurodam there was way more chocolate in it than the ones I had on the Nieuw Amsterdam.

Heaven forbid that I mention it without doing a through investigation. Well I did check religiously every day for custom-made sandwiches. Never happened. I was so disappointed that I was very happy I'd bought the SBC (excellent selection of beers at the SeaView bar!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gottagoacruzn Posted January 12, 2016 Author #31 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Thanks for the update on the price. It has been a few years since I've been on either the Eurodam or the Nieuw Amsterdan. Posting that menu just made me hungy. Thanks a lot for that ;) Hey headhunterke, sorry if I made you hungry, I'm now hungry myself, an I sure cant wait to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gottagoacruzn Posted January 13, 2016 Author #32 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Hey all, thanks for the info. Now, would it be better to make reservations once onboard the ship, or do so, oh say within the next few weeks or so, also is the first night in Tamarind better since nothing is really going on the first night, that way won't miss out on anything?

Virginia You might want to make reservation before just in case. On my cruises I usually go there the first night and the last. I book those ahead. I usually book a few more as soon as I get on the ship, I don't like to book too many ahead as the cdn dollar sucks and the 4 star mariner discount doesn't get applied until I'm on the ship.

CHOPPERTESTER Posted January 13, 2016 #34 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I thought Tamarind was only open for lunch on sea days and then closed for port days. Hope it is still open on sea days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been open in the past on port days for lunch. I've eaten there. It's closed every day now port or sea day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted January 13, 2016 #36 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I was on the Nieuw Amsterdam from October 7 through November 15, 2015. The Tamarind was closed at lunchtime every single one of those days, and I have the daily programs to check. We did wonder at the time if it would reopen once the ship was back in North America, but I have seen reports since (including yours, Dave) that it did not. The ladies who work the Tamarind at night were working the Lido at lunch (for certain), and I think also breakfast (not so sure, as it was before the coffee had kicked in ;)).

There were ladies working breakfast in the Lido and I'm pretty sure they were the Tamarind crew. They had a lovely way of pouring my OJ and coffee!

cruisun Posted January 13, 2016 #38 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I asked my server at Tamarind why lunch was no longer being offered. She said rather unconvincingly "we are working on a new menu". Pinnacle has not been open for lunch at all and so far the MDR has only been open for the Mariner brunch on the last sea day, no lunches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headhunterke Posted January 13, 2016 #39 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Oh, I'm quite sad to see the Tamarind closed for lunch as I always looked forward to some of those delicious treats :) It was a nice change than the Lido lunch I usually have. I'm really hoping they will indeed reopen soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
