Thanksgiving on board dining question

[sppunk]

I know the MDR will have a turkey dinner, but does anyone know if the Pinnacle offers a different holiday menu?

 

Or if there are special brunches or anything?

 

Thanksgiving will be on a sea day for our upcoming 11 day Koningsdam cruise.

[GRACECRUISE]

We have had Thanksgiving dinner twice in the Pinnacle. It was the normal Pinnacle menu. Ours was a 14 day cruise and there was not a brunch or anything special.

I have never seen a different PG menu for Thanksgiving. Have been on a few Thanksgiving Day cruises- both Canadian and American.

 

what I have seen is that there was an appetizer/whatever that you wanted for from the MDR that they would get it for you. Of course, depends on the ship and the server so. YMMV ;)

 

I was happy to get my escargots. For the life of me, can't figure out why the PG doesn't offer those? LOL ;)

If you cruise on Celebrity (and often on Princess) you can get Escargot every night in the MDR...for the asking. And both those lines do a good job (yummy).

We are in the pinnacle on thanksgiving evening. The had the there regular menu but the waiterms asked if we would like some turkey also in addition to our chosen entree.

We did Thanksgiving on board last yr. It was a wonderful plate with turkey, stuffing in the middle surrounded by all the fall root veggies. Dessert (we chose pumpkin pie) came with a chocolate molded turkey.

 

the main dining room does have two recipes of escargot on the menu. If you tell them ahead I am sure they will have one for dinner.

 

When we first started cruising, a couple near us wanted a certain fish cooked a certain way on up coming Friday. We laughed but they told the waiter "we know the chef will do this if we asked ahead of time". This fish was not on the regular menu but there it was on Friday". We became a HAL fan for sure!

Thanksgiving in the MDR was very nice but stay away from the pumpkin pie as it is not like any I have ever had. As I like turkey and the fixings would not go to the Pinnacle on Thanksgiving.

 

Just ask your server for what you would like the next day and he may be able to accommodate you. Once mentioned that the Pinnacle would not serve escargot from the MDR menu one night and ended up being surprised with escargot for the next 3 nights - then finally had to tell the steward to stop!

We have cruised over Thanksgiving quite a few times on various ships.

There was never anything special in the Pinnacle. The menu remains the same.

We avoid the dining room on Thanksgiving after having gotten processed turkey one time.

Confused. Does the MDR only have a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner or will we have other options (i.e. steak, seafood, etc.)?

[Dobermangal]

There's the usual nightly dinner menu with 5 or 6 various entree options as always. One of those options on Thanksgiving is a turkey dinner.

We have had three Thanksgiving dinners aboard HAL and turkey was just one of several entrees available on the menu.
