Lizard13 Posted September 8, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 8, 2023 We will be on the Eurodam for the first time and plan to eat at Canaletto. My only concern is the location. On the Rotterdam it is in the same space or close to the buffet and seemed like it would be quite noisy. Is this an issue on the Eurodam? Thanks for all the good info I get on this site.

Cruise Suzy Posted September 8, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I haven't noticed noise being a problem when we dined in Canaletto on Eurodam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Westerdam, Koningsdam or Rotterdam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare terrydtx Posted September 8, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I have never noticed noise problems on any HAL ship with Canaletto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we have eaten in Canalleto on at least 6 or 8 HAL ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loreto Posted September 8, 2023 #5 Share Posted September 8, 2023 We are on the Eurodam right now. Ate in the Canaletto last night for the 2nd time. Same server, Sai. Quiet, great, fast service, a favorite venue! unlike Pinacle, which was packed, terrible service, took 45 min before our orders were taken. Food is great, but major management problems. enjoy the Eurodam! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My next HAL cruise is on Zaandam, and I will miss Tamarind. I have the HIA package, so I will have dinner at Canaletto. on the website this morning, I see that the "sample" Caneletto menu appears to be the latest that's been posted here. @Loreto does the menu show the daily specials, and are lamb chops and veal caprese on the menu? That's what I'm seeing on the website. The website wouldn't show me the Pinnacle menu for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackduck59 Posted September 8, 2023 #8 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I think the new specialty restaurant menus came into effect on the current cruise for Zaandam, we had the old ones but the change was scheduled at the conclusion of our cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard13 Posted September 8, 2023 Author #9 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Thanks all. Looking forward to our dinner there and definitely Tamarind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlsSalt Posted September 8, 2023 #10 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Anyone have a list of the new rotating "daily specials"? Or do they change from ship to ship, cruise to cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted September 8, 2023 #15 Share Posted September 8, 2023 @OlsSalt, I found that list on HAL's site by going through "experience" and "dining." If I go into a cruise reservation, I see the same items, but formatted to look like an actual menu and no disclaimer other than saying "sample menu." I wish they would update the website. But as my mother used to say, "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlsSalt Posted September 8, 2023 #16 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Friday Special - Chicken Curry - Cipriani style - a old standard at Harry's Bar in the Venice Cipriani Hotel.

Looks like we will be in for that very fun game they used to have on HAL ships- Various staff members n the Culinary showroom as in two teams, had to make a dish from the same Mystery Box of ingredients. It got pretty wild. We will just have to "pays our money and takes our chances" on the Mystery Canaletto Special. Hope it is as much fun. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackduck59 Posted September 8, 2023 #19 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I have a friend on Zaandam right now, she is not aware of any menu changes for specialty dining just yet. I think sometimes it's just better to take the menu that's handed to you and hope something appeals to you. Speculating far in advance about what day you should book is too much work for vacation. Lamenting about what used to be is wasted energy. Look at what is and hope it's good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the new menu because some of the previous specials are on the menu everyday. And, also looking forward to the rotating specials. Hope this new menu will be available in January on the Oosterdam. Cherie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV8rix Posted September 9, 2023 #22 Share Posted September 9, 2023 I'm unhappy because in the new menu they have discontinued both the carpaccio and the lamb chops. I believe that there are also other changes but the two that I have mentioned are the ones that really displease me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked my Navigator for a Noordam departure next week - that Canaletto menu is even older than what are now seeing from other "current" official sites. It still has cassata for dessert. And no mention of freshly made pastas. But darn it, no lamb which was such a hit just last Holiday season. We shall just go and be surprised. We have two segments to this cruise - I wonder it will change mid-cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
