Daily MDR menus for Canada/New England Zaandam cruise?

[PolythenePam57]

I would love to see the daily MDR menus for our upcoming Zaandam cruise, Canada/New England, if anyone can post them. Overthinking this issue, but I want to make sure I don’t book specialty dining when duck or lamb are being served in the MDR. 😁

Daily MDR menus change by region, duration, and season.  Until the Zandaam sails for the first Canada/Ne England cruise of the season, nobody knows the menus.  If you are not on the first cruise of the season, you can download the Zaandam menus from the Navigator app as the first cruise happens. 

 

Check the HAL website to know when to start downloading,

It’s what I currently do, what Crew News is suggesting. I open the app daily, and check both MDR and Lido menu. Very nice to see what great dishes I can look forward to. 
 

I must say, the app did not see my booked cruise at first. But after I checked in, everything was available in the app.

Thanks for the information. I had previously tried this on the app on my iPad and there was no way to access the menus. I just tried it again using the app on my phone and it worked!

Back to the menu topic, Navigator still shows the older Cannaletto menu. Not sure if that is just outdated, or Zaandam hasn't switched yet. Hoping for the latter.

CruiserBruce, I was wondering the same thing about the Canaletto menu.

Roll out of the new menu will be over time across the fleet.

All I really know for sure is that you need to get lobster when you are off the ship.  Heaven on earth.

From "talking" to people, the placeholder menus in the app once you got on board and the app changes state.

I have been looking at Zaandam menus in Navigator for our September cruise. Currently the Cannaleto menu is still the older menu.

I just looked on the navigator and no joy. Personally I'm not that fussed about any given meal. We have made our HIA specialty reservations, one is my birthday the other is on a sea day. If either happens to be on a "Prime Rib night" or any other "night" oh well.

My experience has been the menus in the app update once I'm onboard.

I am sailing next week on this cruise, I will try to get photos and upload them for you while there, can not promise as sometimes I am not the best at remembering things, 50's are hard on my brain.  LOL

Sailed Zaandam to Canada/NE at end of June/beginning of July; can confirm that Canaletto was still using the old menu.

Thanks for the offer, but we completed our fabulous cruise last week. (I was able to enjoy the great rack of lamb and duck in the MDR.)

I am with you on that, also muscles and scallops are better in NE/Canada than anywhere else. We will be on the 2024 Volendam NE/Canada cruise, and lobster rolls will be my lunch when on shore.

I have them in the thread below.
