Veendam Breakfast

[Jab5549]

Does anyone know if suite guests get offered a special breakfast menu in a seperate dining room? I thought I read it somewhere. Are there any other dining perks?

Depends upon the ship but for most, Suite guests can choose to have breakfast in Pinnacle Grill. It's such a lovely setting and service is outstanding. It is the same menu (VERY extensive) that is offered in the Main Dining Room.

 

A few ships offer an alternative to Pinnacle Grill for Suite guests but on Veendam, I'm quite sure Pinnacle will be offered.

Veendam Deluxe Suite guests (PS and S categories only) can have breakfast in the Pinnacle.

It is the same menu as the main dining room.

Breakfast in the Pinnacle Grill is about the only special dining perk I can think of for suite guests. As stated it's the same menu as the main dining room but it's pretty good. I think we probably ate breakfast in the PG 8 out of 11 days on the Maasdam and really enjoyed it. If we had any suggestion for improvement it would be earlier hours on port days and later hours on sea days. Mrs. K has no problem getting up early for port days as she's usually anxious to get on with an excursion or shopping or whatever so earlier would be good. On sea days she likes to sleep in and the 9:30 AM closing was an issue.

Please don't leave us wondering........

The UGGH was becase they MADE us get off! LOL. We had a WONDERFUL cruise. However, this was our second time on the Veendam to Bermuda and we noticed some things have changed. I haven't had a chance to write a mini-review yet, but will hopefully do it today or tomorrow. My biggest concern is that since the Veendam just recently came back from dry dock, then why does it seem like they are letting her fall apart slowly? Just one example here, we saw a couple of panels around the ship that just needed a screw to close them, however, they were closed with duct tape!

Sorry that you didn't get to use the Pinnacle for breakfast the first couple of mornings beccause of the Code Orange.

So far we have not had that happen on any of the ships that we have been on -- Zuiderdam, Ryndam, Nieuw Amsterdam and Amsterdam.

Didn't really care that we couldn't use it since we had the same things delivered to our cabin and had breakfast on our balcony!

Thanks, LoveMyBoxer.

 

VERY happy you had a great time but sorry to hear Veendam needs more attention especially seeing she just left drydock.

 

It seems to vary by ship, even by cruise, whether Pinnacle will be open during Code Orange, the first two days or not. We have been on two ships where we could not use Pinnacle the first two mornings yet on one of those ships, we returned within a year, and Pinnacle was open every morning.

 

I have learned that sometimes the Concierges, though VERY well intentioned, are not always accurate in saying it is closed. We know to check for ourselves whether Suite guests can have breakfast in Pinnacle and sometimes are pleased to learn they are, indeed, open.

Glad you made the most of the situation.

Thanks for the helpful info. We are going this Sunday. Looks like the weather will have passed and hopefully the busses will be running. Either way, it will be a fabulous vacation.
