Once each week DH tried to order the Kippered Herring -- didn't have it either week on the Ryndam.

Thanks for posting the menu, KK. We got to try some of the new selections back in Sept. on the Amsterdam. One morning my sister ordered the "small bowl of creamy cottage cheese" with strawberries. The small bowl was a thimble sized :D ramekin of cottage cheese, whereas we were envisioning a scoop of cottage surrounded by sliced strawberries.

 

I didn't try it, but I'm intrigued by the Japanese Breakfast. What is tamagoyaki? Maybe I don't want to know! :eek:

[maxout]

Tamagoyaki is Japanese rolled omelet.

 

Looks similar to this...

Thanks for the picture -- DH didn't try that dish.

Sailing on the Niew Amsterdam in February....... Can you get "Clamato" juice onboard. We use it here in Canada for "cesars". I know that many Canadian snowbirds out of Florida mention that it is readily available in Florida but just wondering if it is on the ships as a juice???

Sorry - they don't even have Clamato juice in the Lido.

I ordered a bowl of cottage cheese on the side with my main order, without fruit or trimmings, and received a small bowl (about a cup-full) of cottage cheese. I'm sure you can also indicate the amount your want.

[Roz]

I occassionally use Clamato to make a Bloody Mary; hadn't thought about it being available on a cruise ship. Have never seen it listed on the breakfast menu, and don't know if the bars carry it.

Was the Pinnacle Grill closed or open for breakfast, the first two days of the cruise?

[rkacruiser]

The new breakfast menu was offered aboard the Maasdam's recent repositioning cruise. I tried the Dutch Breakfast and thought that it was very, very good. Thanks for the change, HAL!

[Roz]

Maxout, thanks for the photo and description of the tamagoyaki. Is the boiled salmon rolled up inside it (referring to menu) or served on the side?

 

AfriCan, thanks for the heads up on the cottage cheese, I'll have to remember that and let my sister know.

[geocruiser]

What is Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal ?

 

Maria

[Roz]

The oats are steel cut rather than rolled, preserving more of the outer husk and nutrients.

Krazy Kruizers you are a wealth of information on this posting as well as others. Thanks!!!!!!!!!

[db777]

I am really happy about having steel cut...nice oatmeal flavor, but more texture... breakfast is my favorite meal of the day... so I am really excited about new menu... is it on all the ships or just part of the fleet... I am hoping it will be on the Noordam in November.. .DB777

[Kittycat2009]

Oooohhh, turkey sausage links? That is great! I can't eat pork or eggs, so my choices were limited to fruit and hash browns. Turkey sausage links would've been wonderful! So glad they have added them. Now we need to book a cruise so I can enjoy them. :D

DH also tried the Dutch Breakfast and loved it.

[tangerinebunny]

I tried sitting here and saying Chocolate Croissant - Raisin Bun - but so far nothing's happening.

[canadarocks]

This new menu looks amazing! :cool:

 

What are the main dining room's breakfast hours, both on sea days and on port days?

[jimgev]

Yum!

It sounds like we will be having a few more breakfasts in the MDR on our next cruise.

[airlink diva]

Thanks Krazy Kruisers for posting the new breakfast menu.

As a rule, I normally just order tea and bagels for breakfast via room service. But since that menu have alot of things I want to try,esp the international classics, I'm heading to the dining room for breakfast.

The only thing I'm not a morning person most of the time and prefer to eat alone (don't mind sharing a table during lunch or dinner). Will they let me sit alone for breakfast?

Yes -- when you get to the dining room just tell the person in charge that you wish to eat alone. There are a lot of tables for 2 where they can sit you to eat alone.

What are the main dining room's breakfast hours, both on sea days and on port days?

 

The hours vary ship by ship.

For example:

On our first week on the Ryndam the dining room was open from 7:30 - 9 AM on full port days. On Sea days and days that we didn't arrive at a port until Noon or later -- it was open from 8 - 9:30 AM.

Then on the second week the dining room was open for breakfast every morning from 7:30 - 9 AM except for the last sea day.
