teachermandoug Posted June 20, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 20, 2019 As Club Orange rolls out, does anyone know if it’s on Zuiderdam yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taters Posted June 20, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I don't think it was on our TA cruise in April/May. The "America's Test Kitchen" was in the lounge that was BB King's at night. There is not a dedicated space for ATK on Zuiderdam, which is the space they use on Koningsdam and Nieuw Statendam for CO meals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0bnxshs Posted June 20, 2019 #3 Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) I believe that Club Orange is currently only available on the Nieuw Statendam and Koningsdam as they are the only 2 ships with a space that can be dedicated to it. All others share the Queen's Lounge with ATK and BB Kings and other programs. NS and K'dam have the dining area just forward of the MDR starboard side on deck 2 that is dedicated to Club Orange.

twodjs Posted June 21, 2019 #11 Share Posted June 21, 2019 It is breakfast and dinner only and the HAL news release states that on ships other than the two newest, a portion of the main dining room will be set aside for CO guests. There is no mention of any strutural seperation, so there probably won't be any change in the ship's layout PDF. If they are consistent, Pinnacle Grill will closed to Suite guests for breakfast.

If it’s going to have Club Orange, then I see little benefit to the Neptune Suite other than the real estate 😞 Especially if breakfast is going to be in the MDR instead of the PG. One of the things I did enjoy was the relaxing breakfast in the PG. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suspaul Posted June 22, 2019 #13 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Leaving today for Rome (Civitavecchia) sailing on the Koningsdam June 24. Yesterday we received an ‘offer’ for Club Orange, cost was $35 per person per day and no, not interested in taking them up on what I see as a money grab. At nearly $1000 more for our cruise I don’t see the benefit of it, we have the cabin we originally booked and selected, drink package included so No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twentyknots Posted September 24, 2019 #24 Share Posted September 24, 2019 There doesn't appear to be a definitive answer to my question: will the PG still serve breakfast to NS guests on non Pinnacle ships when CO is rolled out to all ships? Club Orange is definitely being rolled out on all ships by October according to Holland, but only the Pinnacle ships have seperate space for it. I can understand CO appealing to some passengers but certainly not to NS guests. Does Holland really think we'll be happy eating in the MDR for breakfast rather than the PG? Eating in the MDR has always been and option for breakfast, for all passengers. So they designate a separate area, use PG menus, and maybe even use the servers from the PG. Not the same at all.

On the Pinnacle ships it is in the CO for NS passengers. It’s clearly stated on the HAL website under Club Orange (I believe that’s where I found the link that I have posted previously).
