Room service & Pinnacle

[cruisenanny]

I have done a search but I can't seem to find anything that isn't a few years old.

Does anyone have a link to the current Pinnacle menu, as well as room service and the breakfast card. (does HAL have the breakfast cards that you fill out? I can't remember)

Thanks for any help:D

If you order your breakfast to be delivered during MDR service times, you can write in most things to be delivered for room service.

The Pinnacle Breakfast menu is the same as for the Main Dining Room and it's wonderful IMO :)

[Typhoon1]

Take advantage of the PG for dinner.

 

The food and atmosphere can't be beat.

[g-didi]

Here is an updated Pinnacle Menu that includes the Intrique.....

The Intrique:

Land & Sea - master chef Rudi Saloman’s interpretation of Surf & Turf - filet mignon and jumbo prawns on whipped potatoes with garlic, rosemary beurre blanc

Lobster Macaroni & Cheese - chef’s favorite: a delicate gratineed combination of mascarpone-enriched pasta and creamy lobster broth with chunks of lobster

Roasted vegetable tower -- with onion confit and tomato coulis

 

This might sound stupid, but what is this term "Intrique"? (Guessing something to do with "The Beginning and Finale") Is that just another section of entrees like Grill, Seafood etc? Is the Pinnacle meal basically a 3 course meal with a starter, entree with the option of one (or more?) sides and dessert? Basically choose one from each section?

The Intrique is just another section of the entrees.

It really can be more than a three course meal.

You can order an many appetizers as you want. You can order as many soups and salads as you want. You can rder as many side dishes as you want. And you can order as many desserts as you want.

But you can only order 1 entree. If you want a second entree -- they charge extra for that.

We usually order only an appetizer, order soup, share a salad, 1 entree each, a couple of sides each and 1 dessert each. And even that is all too much food for us. For $25 you can't beat the price. Where we live -- most restaurants charge you for each course -- which means a big bill at the end of dinner.

[g-didi]

thank you for the reply.... that does sound like a rather large and delicious meal! I am looking forward to the PG.

[Krazy Kruizers]

On a 14 day cruise we usually have 3 or 4 dinners at the Pinnacle.

[sail7seas]

We always dine in Pinnacle at least two times per week. On a ten day cruise, we go three and sometimes four times.

 

[cruisenanny]

Thank you for the replies everyone!

Krazy Kruisers MANY thanks for posting all of those menus, that is exactly what I was looking for!!

[Krazy Kruizers]

You are welcome.

We have written eggs benedict in for delivery earlier than when the MDR is open and it was delivered (pretty sure it happened for 6:30 and 7:00 am delivery).

That's one of those inconsistent things......

 

ship to ship, cruise to cruise may vary. But certainly

worth trying.

Could be, but have had it on Zuiderdam, Eurodam and Nieuw Amsterdam on 4 cruises since 2008.

[sail7seas]

I wonder if the fact they have been charters makes a difference?

 

I don't know; just wondering.

 

[mamaofami]

I'm curious to know what people's favorite appetizers are at Pinnacle. I never know what to order besides shrimp cocktail.

[GeriatricNurse]

What kind of eggs benedict did you write in, as there are 7 different kinds! ;)

[cruisenanny]

So if I you want to have the MDR lunch or dinner served in your cabin during the MDR hours, do you ask your steward ahead of time for the menus or are they posted on the television now? A few years back I was very ill on a HAL cruise & our wonderful steward brought me the MDR menus every day..

[Boytjie]

I doubt that a charter would make a difference.

There is only one Eggs Benedict, the other variations have different names. ;)

[Typhoon1]

Do enjoy dinner in the PG. It is a dining experience not to be missed.
