PG @ $29. Tamarind @ $20. Canaletto same

[Thebes]

FYI : actually the increase in Tamarind is the highest. That is a whopping 33.3 %. It shows the value of that Pan Asian cuisine. Times are a changing :)

[Aruba]

When is the change effective?

Sorry -- Dec 28. I hit REPLY before realizing the answer was already posted on another thread.

Now, that's annoying. I hope better service comes along with that. On the Eurodam, the tamarind had great service some nights, less than great others. The last time I was in the pinnacle at night was on the Noordam the service was pathetic. That's the only time I've gone in at night and not tipped,

 

Thx for the heads up Thebes.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Thanks for letting us know that the Tamarind will now be $20.

All new prices started this morning.

I started a thread about this.

I quite like Canaletto, but I don't think it's worth an extra $20 each to eat there, basically in the Lido.

[TracieABD]

Glad we booked and paid for our PG in advance...:)

You mean Tamarind ? Canaletto still same price at $10 PP.

I booked all my tamarind (4X) and PG ( X1) on the old price. Cha Ching !! LoL

I will decide for Canaletto on the ship.

We'll see if the price increases stick this time.

 

Last time HAL tried a price increase in the PG it only lasted a few months.

[prescottbob]

Ahoy!

 

Somewhere in the 'caverens' of my mind (2001 Statendam 15 day Circle HA) I recall the PG dining option was the 'newest' dining venue on HAL. I could be wrong.

 

At the time. there was no extra cost at least for our cruise.

 

Then, a few months later the cost 'boosted' to $10 per person aboard the Ryndam (we're still talking aroung '02-'03).

 

Now it appears we're being 'hijacked' @ $29 per person for great food & service for evening eats.

 

Not to worry.

 

Pony up the 'dough'and enjoy a meal IMO. I know I will on my next cruise.

 

Please don't 'nickel & dime'yourself.

 

To use the over used phrase describes, "It is what it is".

 

Enjoy!

 

Bon Voyage, Good Health & Happy Holidays!

I guess I misread your thread title..... Tamararind $20, Canaletto same.

I read the title the same way, that the surcharge for the Canelleto would be $20. I'd go for $20, but only if they have the "old" menu not the new tasting plates menu.

[Copper10-8]

We'll be enjoying all three soon :)

Do u or someone happen to have the new Canaletto menu ?

[llbz327]

Canaletto is going to be $15 and pg for lunch is going to be $15 according to the hotel manager on our last cruise ending dec, 20.

[frankc98376]

Still a great deal for the meals we've had!

The PG is still a bargain, at $29.00.

[sun~]

Love the Tamarind, it is worth the small up charge. PG is very good, and still a bargain at $29. We don't eat in the MDR for dinner, only at the speciality restaurants, the small extra charge won't really make a dent on a 7 day cruise.

Wonderful!

 

Have a Merry Christmas now, a great cruise, a Happy New Year and an easy contract.

+1. We don't like the MDR at all - we would rather the Lido anytime over the MDR. I would select room service over the MDR. Ate the the PG twice and Tamarind once on our last cruise. They are both musts for us from now on. We enjoyed them both so much that we have decided we will do the Captain's Table (I believe that is what it is called) on our next cruise.

We just returned from dinner at a great local steak house. The price was more than $30 each for filet mignon, baked potato and a salad. Appetizers, dessert and coffee weren't included. Pinnacle is worth the money, IMO.

Exactly.

Why would you be tipping in the PG, whether the service was pathetic or outstanding? :confused: The tips are included in the Hotel Service Charge! ;)

I just want to clarify. I assume you had dry aged steaks at that price. I haven't seen any indication that the PG uses dry aged meats. Can someone confirm that?

Thank you for the financial advice.
