ltjr Posted February 8, 2007 #1 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I will be on the 2/17 sailing of the Noordam with my partner and my family and made reservations for the Pinnacle Grill. I've read a number of reviews comparing it to the specialty restaurants on Celebrity's Millenium class vessels and hope we're not disappointed. Those were true dining experiences. I have a few questions for anyone who has recently dined in the Pinnacle Grill: 1) Is the dress the dress of the evening on board or is it always "informal" with jackets suggested for men? 2) Other than wine/liquor, are there any charges in addition to the $30pp (e.g., side dishes, etc.)? 3) Is there a cheese cart/course as part of the meal? Thanks in advance to any Pinnacle experts out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted February 8, 2007 #2 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Whatever the dress code is for the ship, it is the same for the Pinnacle. So on casual nights you do not have to were jackets unless you wan to. No charge for any of the extra side dishes. The Price includes, appetizers, salad, side dishes, dessert and of ccourse your entree. You can order as many side dishes and desserts as you want but only one entree for the $30. It is a cheese plate -- usually only 4 pieces of cheese on it with some grapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schplinky Posted February 8, 2007 #5 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I will be on the 2/17 sailing of the Noordam with my partner and my family and made reservations for the Pinnacle Grill. I've read a number of reviews comparing it to the specialty restaurants on Celebrity's Millenium class vessels and hope we're not disappointed. Those were true dining experiences. It's much closer to Chops on RCL. Not as elaborate as the Celebrity Specialty and not as lengthy. 1) Is the dress the dress of the evening on board or is it always "informal" with jackets suggested for men? We dined there a couple of weeks ago and most people were in casual clothing. There was one table with jackets but most of the tables were just sport shirts and slacks. 2) Other than wine/liquor, are there any charges in addition to the $30pp (e.g., side dishes, etc.)? No. They do offer neat wine flights where you get one ounce of four different wines and that was nice to try. 3) Is there a cheese cart/course as part of the meal? We were not offered cheese. I would have remembered because I am lactose intolerant and would have had to take lactase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted February 8, 2007 #6 Share Posted February 8, 2007 My DH always wears a jacket (with or without tie) to Pinnacle. He knows I like to dress nicely when we visit Pinnacle and he compliments me by wearing his blazer/jacket. There is not a regular cheese course at Pinnacle. It's a lovely meal and we have (almost) always enjoyed it.....we've dined in Pinnacle a number of times on many of the ships. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
