jabrown40 Posted Wednesday at 06:05 PM #1 Share Posted Wednesday at 06:05 PM We are on a 12 night Panama Canal cruise in March, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out today that Club Orange was still available for our sailing. I'm very excited to try it, I like the idea of the dedicated, smaller restaurant and lounge, but the best part was the verandah upgrade, because we were able to switch from a regular verandah, to an aft facing balcony! Looking forward to seeing a sunset from time to time or just watching the wake in the moonlight. Does anyone know if they still have the complimentary mimosas at breakfast?

Rare Ready2go11 Posted Wednesday at 06:14 PM #2 Share Posted Wednesday at 06:14 PM Yes they do. You can order from room service or enjoy in CO dining room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkc Posted Wednesday at 06:58 PM #3 Share Posted Wednesday at 06:58 PM The CO dining room is nice. The smaller venue helps to make meals special. Just to clarify, the is no CO lounge. The only special lounge is the Neptune Lounge that is available to NS guests only. Enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swin26 Posted Wednesday at 07:26 PM #4 Share Posted Wednesday at 07:26 PM As said no special lounge, but the small bar directly opposite the club orange dining room, with tables along the windows has great cocktails and is a nice place to have a pre dinner cocktail 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabrown40 Posted Wednesday at 08:00 PM Author #5 Share Posted Wednesday at 08:00 PM I think that was the bar area I saw in the deck plans, I also thought it would be a nice area for a pre dinner drink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 0106 Posted Wednesday at 08:21 PM #6 Share Posted Wednesday at 08:21 PM Just off the Rotterdam with CO. We asked to be seated in the same servers area for the entire 14 day cruise and were accommodated. Luckily, we had the best server, Wi, who has been with HAL for a long time. Many may remember him from the Prinsendam. There is also complimentary fresh squeezed OJ available at breakfast. We loved sitting by the window and having a cocktail before dinner from the Half Moon bar, The service from Joann was excellent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabrown40 Posted Wednesday at 08:44 PM Author #7 Share Posted Wednesday at 08:44 PM Is his name pronounced "why" or "we"? Our cruise is 6 months away, wonder if he'll still be there. Any tips for getting a seat by a window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 0106 Posted Wednesday at 10:42 PM #8 Share Posted Wednesday at 10:42 PM His name is pronounced we. There are no seats by the window in the CO dining room. The seats by the window are where we sat for pre dinner drinks. On the right of this photo are seats by the window; on the left is the CO dining room.

Rare POA1 Posted Thursday at 05:56 AM #10 Share Posted Thursday at 05:56 AM You'll enjoy the CO dining room. The bar table area outside is serviced by the Half Moon Bar. You can get mimosas at breakfast in either the CO dining room or from room service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suncitycruiser1925 Posted yesterday at 02:31 AM #13 Share Posted yesterday at 02:31 AM Capachinos are also complimentary for breakfast in Club Orange Dining Room and I thought they were very good. I had a mimosa, cappuccino and fresh squeezed orange juice each morning. We loved the smaller venue Dining room for breakfast an dinner. An upgrade on your cabin is an added plus. You are fortunate they still had availability for Club Orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted 18 hours ago #14 Share Posted 18 hours ago Had CO on the Rotterdam 150th Anniversary sailing last year (plus 2 5-nights added on after). Absolutely loved it! Never had a drink at that little bar near the dining room since we always went to the Pinnacle bar. Sad to say, I can't remember the names of the two bartenders there, but they were great. I wasn't that found of the male Maitre D, but really liked the female. She was friendly, efficient, and helped us with some specialty dining reservations that were pre-booked but messed up when we checked on them after boarding. Really enjoyed her. So spoiled by having that separate dining room that I have to have it now on Pinnacle-class ships. Unfortunately, though, that class ship doesn't have my favorite "large interior" cabins, so the upgrade for that doesn't have the value it has for me on Vista & Signature class.

jabrown40 Posted 15 hours ago Author #15 Share Posted 15 hours ago So if I have the Have it all package, the cappuccino, mimosas, and freshly squeezed juice don't count as one of my 15 drinks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it will not count. You will not need to give them your card when you order these CO included beverages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was great. I was getting lunch at Dive-In one of the days and she was up there serving the orders in addition to her CO duties. 😱 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
