hi majmom, yes pinnacle excellent, superb service, nice and slow so dont go if your in a hurry!!

 

 

crab cakes to start then the bone in rib eye for me - perfect, the other half does not eat meat and thorougly enjoyed a generous portion of ctrabs legs.

 

 

would highly recomend

 

 

did not go to sol de mer , but spoke to some who did and tey very much enjoyed it but there was a lot of food!!!

Thanks so much for the additional info. We will definitely be doing Pinnacle as we have a huge lobster lover in our group who always upgrades to the larger lobster tail. But the bone-in ribeye sounds perfect for me. And we went ahead and made reservations for Sel de Mer since the Oosterdam doesn’t have a Tamarind. So I am anxious to give something new a try. Thanks again.

thats about it, please try for yourselves, you will not be dissapointed, yes things have changed over time, but in my opinion HAL still offers valur for money, and oosterdam is a fine ship!!

Thanks so much for the info and pics. So nice to see since we've never sailed on Oosterdam. We are looking forward to our fall trip to the Mediterranean.

Thank you!

those who like games - these are now in the galery bar and not crows nest

picture not too good but they had risk, apples to apples , settlers of catan to name a few

Do they have Majong sets or do I need to bring my own?

I’m thinking of buying these cards (much more portable!)

yes they had majong sets avaialble for use

Not totally thrilled that they turned the Gallery Bar into a game room... but I know it's still been a bit of an uphill battle trying to utilize that space. If this is what gets more people in there then I suppose it's worth it.

Before it was the Gallery Bar it was Northern Lights, a discothèque. On the HAL ships I've been on with the Northern Lights venue, I've never heard disco music or seen anyone dancing to the Bee Gees. It was just an odd underutilized space to walk through.

On our last HAL cruise I thought the Gallery Bar was a nice place to sit, have a drink and talk. Being next to the casino there was the obligatory bells, whistles and other noises from gambling machines and gamblers. It wasn't a quiet place except in port when they shut down the gambling. So having it turn into a game room is not the worse thing to happen. I wish there was a way to block the casino noise though.

Great photos. Thanks. Looking forward to cruising in October. Are ther cabanas by the pool?

hi, no cabanas by the pool, there were some on deck 10 , with acess only to those who had rented them,
