It would be a good option on the first day for lunch on one of the three Pinnacle class ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pea soup is nice and thick. Add a sandwich to make a filling lunch. Ask for several almond cookies and a giant chocolate chip cookie for an afternoon snack. Grand Dutch Cafe Menu Thank you. I will be sailing the Nieuw Statendam in September and can’t wait to check this venue out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefchick Posted July 10, 2022 #28 Share Posted July 10, 2022 One more question re: The Grand Dutch cafe….is it open in the mornings for coffee drinks? I know you can get lattes, cappuccino, etc in the Crows nest but are there other locations on the Pinnacle class ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare SumoCitrus Posted July 11, 2022 #30 Share Posted July 11, 2022 I really enjoy Lido lunch on the first day. Head right to our cabin, drop things off, then off to the Lido for lunch and my favorite: the HAL bread pudding. During lunch we discuss sail away plans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drews_Cruise Posted July 13, 2022 #31 Share Posted July 13, 2022 We don't eat at the buffet ever. Way too many people coughing, breathing and handling utensils for us so I hope there are other options on the Koningsdam next year. We are hoping for the MDR for sure.

Aquahound Posted July 13, 2022 #32 Share Posted July 13, 2022 On HAL, I always found the Lido buffet to be best on day 1. It always seems better that day than the rest of the cruise. Plus, I think it's the only day they serve the chocolate/peanut butter pie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida_gal_50 Posted July 14, 2022 #33 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I’m surprised so many people rave about the peanut butter pie. It’s ok but it’s not rave worthy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet I have their cookbook and when I've followed the recipe, it's been wonderful... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
