Dinner menu looks the same. "Press for Beverage Service" button: I pressed and pressed on more than one occasion when I was in the NY Deli & Pizza area. No response; maybe your experience will be different. Be sure to try the NY Deli & Pizza venue: sandwiches, pizza, and the Panna Cotta: delicious! Enjoy your cruise! I pushed the button in the buffet and they came within a minute or so. Haven’t tried it anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8373seth Posted March 11, 2019 Author #36 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Our first day is almost complete. Well technically it is complete. Dinner was excellent as usual. I had the turkey and Todd had the shrimp. Below are a few pictures from dinner and around the ship. Also, I have the When and Where for tomorrow.

Krazy Kruizers Posted March 11, 2019 #40 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Thank you for the pictures. Dessert looks good. Wonder how that Lobster Roll is like on HMC? If it is full of "fillers" -- not worth the price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare killsport Posted March 11, 2019 #41 Share Posted March 11, 2019 What I want to know is why @8373seth isn't up all hours of the night answering our questions. How dare he enjoy his vacation? 😀 Seriously, I hope the vacation is good and relaxing! A question for when you are relaxing at the pool (or whatever you do to relax and enjoy your cruise) and are interested in communicating with the outside world... the "easy button" or whatever you call the drink button... where did you get it and do they charge the drink to your room automatically or do you still have to give them your card? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm from the prairies and don't really know Atlantic lobster from Florida/Caribbean lobster but I suspect it was the latter. It was not great.

IMHO Florida or Caribbean warm water lobsters are not worth the effort or price to eat. I would prefer a good shrimp dinner. On a sailing charter to Anegada Island in the BVI in 2017 we had at a local beach restaurant local fresh caught Caribbean lobster and it was just plain tough and tasteless for $50pp. Do not waste your money at HMC, unless it is cold water lobster from New England, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lido deck main Posted March 11, 2019 #44 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I noticed they haven’t change the Oprah book club selection in at least over six months. Noticed the dance to the hits host is Warren, pretty personable person, he was on our 2017 Koningsdam cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll try it elsewhere and see how fast they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notladjr Posted March 12, 2019 #49 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Thank you so much for taking the time to share all of this! We will be on NS 4/7/19 so this is getting me even more excited than I already was. BTW that chocolate dessert looked amazing. Have you tried the buffet yet? We were on our first HAL cruise (Nieuw Amsterdam) right after Thanksgiving last year and I loved that wonderful dishes of cut fresh fruit were available anytime the buffet was open and seemed fresh all 7 days of the cruise. Have you had a chance to check out the extra cost gelato place yet? I love gelato and hope it isn't too good or I may end up in a diabetic coma.

Enjoy every minute and only post YOUR experience when you can. I always feel lousy when someone is generous enough to post an actual live on their own internet dime about a personal trip and then are sent on daily re-con tasks.
