OmarOak Posted November 28, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2022 We've enjoyed this on Pinnacle Class ships on pre-Covid cruises. We'll be on Koningsdam departing December 3 and curious if anyone knows if HAL continues to offer this, and if so, if it is usually on a particular night of a 7 day cruise. FWIW - I wish they were continuing the deLibrije pop-up event but know that's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir PMP Posted November 28, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I've never heard of a rijsttafel in the Tamarind, that's 18 courses, I hope they do, I'll sign up for that one: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you find out about this? Was it advertised on boarding? Sounds really great. We just got off Transatlantic on Oosterdam and an Indonesian meal was offered on the second last night, but was not on the menu and was advised to us by dining room staff. It had to be ordered the night before and was a plated main course. During this cruise we also ordered the Indian main course on several days. Again, it needed to be ordered the night before and was delicious and not particuarly spicy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concerning the Indian menu: you can order any degree of spice you wish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare roxybear135 Posted November 28, 2022 #8 Share Posted November 28, 2022 We had this on our cruise to Iceland/Norway/Scotland back in June/July on the Nieuw Statendam. We didn't hear about it until I happened to see a sign posted for it on board. The dinner was completely sold out but we were able to finally talk our way into getting reservations for it. It ended up being one of the best meals of the trip (we have been to Indonesia before and the food at Tamarind for the special dinner was just as good as the food we had in Bali). It was a few appetizers, about 6-7 entrees (you got a small portion of each), and dessert. Highly recommend it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember it was more expensive than a regular Tamarind meal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was advertised and bookable on board and was priced at $ 35,40 per person, tax included. Appetizer Urup and the Soto Ayam served seperately, the rest on one plate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Librije is still offered on ships sailing from the Netherlands as departure port, like Rotterdam this passed season. But when they left for the transatlantic, they only offered it on the last sailing out of Rotterdam, but not the sailings that do not originate in the Netherlands.
