Rare lorimay Posted December 16, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 16, 2016 We are on the Koningsdam for the Christmas cruise departing December 23rd. I'm just trying to figure out which night I should book for the Pinnacle. We like to be in the MDR on Gala nights. Here's the itinerary. Any guesses? Also, will there be special menu on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? Dec 23 - Depart Dec 24 - At Sea Dec 25 - Grand Turk 8 - 3 Dec 26 - San Juan 1 - 11 Dec 27 - St. Thomas 8 - 5 Dec 28 - At Sea Dec 29 - HMC 8 - 4 Dec 30 - Disembark Thanks for your help!

CruiserBruce Posted December 16, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I would expect the 24th and 28th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, 24th and 28th would be normal, but with Christmas, Gala could be either 24th or 25th. Or one of those date could be Gala Optional. The Christmas Eve menu is fantastic! Much better than the Christmas Day one. I wouldn't miss either, so OI would be booking the Pinnacle on the 26th or 27th. Have a great Christmas!!!

SoFla_KJ Posted December 17, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I am also on this cruise! I assume that the 24th and 28th will be Gala nights with a Christmas Day dinner on the 25th. Since we plan to eat dinner in San Juan on the 26th, we plan to have dinner in Pinnacle and Tamarind on the 27th and 29th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGYCruisingFamily Posted December 17, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Last year on the Oosterdam, we had gala on the 24th and then a gala optional on the 25th. Threw us for a bit of a loop as the 24th was the second gala already and then suddenly there was a third (albeit optional). We knew prior that there were 2 but not three. We are on the NA for New Years and trying to figure out if they will do this again based on sea days etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGYCruisingFamily Posted December 17, 2016 #7 Share Posted December 17, 2016 It is but it was actually labelled as gala optional. We had been told in advance that there were 2 but with the optional night on Christmas night, it became 3 Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
