brownie1005 Posted October 28, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I'm not sure if this has been mentioned on a previous thread, but while on the Zuiderdam in September, the Le Cirque dinnerware, consisting of charger, bread plate, and soufflé dish were available for sale at $50/setting (used). Nice memento for those who enjoyed the Le Cirque run... Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted October 29, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Thank you for the information. Even though we enjoyed Le Cirque and did it every time it was offered, I really don't need any more dishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the large plate and bread plate have monkeys, and the oval crème brûlée dish has the recipe printed on the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie1005 Posted October 29, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) HAL paid less than $10 for that setting when they were new. (Made in Thailand)That's a very healthy markup for used plates. That may be so, but that's wholesale. There's a healthy markup for pretty much everything...wine, booze, excursions, etc. At least you take these home. It may not be of interest to everyone, but some people may like them as a memento of Le Cirque, or just for fun.

brownie1005 Posted October 30, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Does someone have pix? Just curious. I picked up 2 sets for my daughter, so I don’t have them to take a photo of. If you google Le Cirque dinnerware Holland America and check out images, it brings up lots of pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haladdict Posted October 30, 2017 #12 Share Posted October 30, 2017 My Husband is a pretty easy going guy, but he would think that I was crazy, if I started filling my suitcase with dishes. If Hal can sell this stuff, it's great for us stockholders. Sandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie1005 Posted November 1, 2017 Author #17 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Do they guarantee the place setting they sell you will not have chipped plates? Our Pinnacle waiter, with whom we had become friendly with from many breakfasts and dinners, hand-picked the pieces for us and had them delivered to our room. They were in excellent condition, without any scratches or chips. They don’t come boxed, but as it was just a few pieces, they were easy to pack.

brownie1005 Posted November 1, 2017 Author #19 Share Posted November 1, 2017 That's great. Hope you have lots of pleasure using them. Thanks, Sail! I actually bought them for my daughter. She loved Le Cirque, and won’t be sailing until next March, so will miss the opportunity to dine there again. She was so surprised, and thrilled to receive them. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She loved Le Cirque, and won’t be sailing until next March, so will miss the opportunity to dine there again. She was so surprised, and thrilled to receive them. 🙂 I have obviously missed the memo about no more Le Cirque. I agree the plates were lovely. Not something I expected on HAL. So nice of you to buy these for your daughter. I am sure she will love using them for many years. I am still using Grand Voyage china from several yeas ago (the Dutch ones) and enjoy them a lot.

donaldsc Posted November 2, 2017 #23 Share Posted November 2, 2017 $50 per place setting for stuff like that. I guess that the comment about the frequency of suckers being born is correct. DON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberta Quilter Posted November 2, 2017 #24 Share Posted November 2, 2017 It's the sentimental value in the eye of the beholder. There is no need to call people suckers for spending money on something that they value just because you don't share the same value of an item. Sometimes, it's best to keep one's thoughts to oneself rather than ruin someone's pleasure at giving a gift that their family member valued.
