"Have It All" Specialty Dining

[Guardsy]

We are looking at a 14-Day cruise on the NA.  In the HIA deal, we are getting drinks, Wifi, $200 each in shore excursions, gratuities and "specialty dining".  I cannot find anywhere, including in the "details" section of the deal, where it says how many specialty dining nights you get.

 

Any help?

One person in Tamarind and Pinnacle Grill.

So, basically, two nights?  The deal specified more than just these two restaurants, but it sounds like one night each for each 7 days on the cruise?

The HIA package includes 1, 2 or 3 nights specialty dining depending on length of cruise.

So for your 14-day cruise you would get 2 nights specialty dining.

You’ll get 2 nights specialty dining for a 14 night.
One night in the pinnacle grill and one night in either the Tamarind or the Canaletto, your choice. (Personally we like the Tamarind over the Canaletto)

Or two nights in any of the restaurants, it's entirely up to you. We agree with you on Tamarind, it's our favorite restaurant on the ships that have it... even over the PG.

Well that’s good to know, we had assumed the PG was a given, I didn’t realise you could pick any. Thanks for the tip!

Can reservations be made in advance of the cruise for the specialty dining?

I don't believe you can pick any.  I think the terms are 1 night Pinnacle grill and 1 night Tamarind on ships that have Tamarind.  If the ship does not have Tamarind then it is Canelleto.

Yes, on the HAL website.  Go to 'My Bookings' and then 'Cruise Activities'.  There is an option for Speciality Dining.  Depending on when your cruise departs you may be able to make reservations.

Actually I booked mine online.  I choose the tamarind because I like it better than the pinnacle.  My cruise is in the fall.

Found these terms on the HAL website.
