Menus

[alohadad]

When did HAL stop giving out menu's at the end of cruise's. We were on the Oosterdam last Dec 06 and were disipointed to find out no menu's were given out at the end of the cruise

We've been cruising HAL for five years and have never seen menus distributed.

As far as I know, it must have been before 7/2002! :)

We still get the entire set... On the Noordam III final voyage, the folder was signed by the Captain, Hotel Manager, Food & Beverage Manager and a couple others... I also have a complete set from the Noordam IV inaugural.

 

I usually let the D/R steward know (early in the voyage), or ask the concierge and I always get a complete set.

 

Suite passengers can just save them as they are handed out to the cabins daily.

 

Maybe for a "set" with folder - it's just upon request.

Here's the key words in your post:

... ask the concierge ...

They stopped giving you the sets at the end of the cruise about 4 or 5 years ago.

 

And for a while, on the last full day you were able to BUY them for around $10. They had a table set up by the Lido pool.

On our Alaska cruise 3 years ago, we were able to buy a souvenir set that included a nice folder that contained all the menus, and a commemorative bottle of wine. I didn't ask about it last year, so I don't know if it was still available then.:)

When we went to Alaska in 8/05, we asked our head waiter for a set of the menus at the last dinner. He was only able to give us a set of dinner menus, not lunch. It didn't seem to be a problem for them, but I think you need to request a set.

We've gotten them upon request every time - not just when we asked the concierge. :)

 

If you give the staff a few days notice, they will most likely accomodate you. If you ask on the last night at dinner, it may be difficult.

 

When I get them from the D/R steward, I usually slip him and extra $10 for the trouble.
