Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted August 5, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 5, 2019 With the possibility of Club Orange on all of HAL ships this year , does this mean that they are eliminating breakfast at the Pinnacle Grill ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted August 5, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Sadly -- yes. I do not like the idea of sitting in a special area of the dining room for Club Orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not like the idea of sitting in a special area of the dining room for Club Orange. Nor do we . I wonder if anyone who has been on a ship with Club Orange other than the Konningsdam or Nieuw Statendam can share if they are still able to eat breakfast at the Pinnacle .

Krazy Kruizers Posted August 5, 2019 #4 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I have asked -- was told "no". Then I asked what the Pinnacle staff were doing -- didn't get an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianbear Posted August 5, 2019 #7 Share Posted August 5, 2019 We think we did our last Neptune suite in April and luckily breakfast was still in the Pinnacle. Since we started cruising we enjoyed many of the Neptune suite perks and I really enjoyed the quietness of a Pinnacle breakfast. We don’t want a “special area” in the dining room. Since we are 4* we get the laundry included. Other than the size of the Neptune suites we won’t miss booking them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gsel Posted August 6, 2019 #9 Share Posted August 6, 2019 If true it will mean the end of HAL for us. "The last straw!" I am sure they won't miss us, but there are cruise lines out there that still want our business enough to keep the service the matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We "might" do breakfast in the CO area of the dining room, but would never do dinner there. We purchase a Neptune for the Neptune Lounge, and breakfast in the Pinnacle or now an individual CO venue.The main DR is not that IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live4cruises Posted August 6, 2019 #11 Share Posted August 6, 2019 NO!! Pinnacle Grill breakfast is our favorite Neptune perk. We will be 4 star after next Spring’s cruise on Zaandam, so as Candaianbear, we might move back down on the food chain. Too bad. Taking away a popular benefit shouldn’t be taken lightly, or without consulting their most loyal customers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madera1 Posted August 6, 2019 #12 Share Posted August 6, 2019 In July Inwas in a Neptune suite on the Oosterdam and we could either have breakfast in the Pinnacle grill, Club Orange in MDR or just have room service, Lido. We actually utilized all options over the course of our week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAKcruiser Posted August 6, 2019 #14 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Can you let us know where Club Orange was situated in the lower dining room. Was it on the sides or toward the rear of the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madera1 Posted August 6, 2019 #15 Share Posted August 6, 2019 We had very slow service in the Pinnacle grill for breakfast and there was only one other table occupied at the time, thus we never returned. As far as seating in the MDR, we were all but once given window tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tv24 Posted August 6, 2019 #16 Share Posted August 6, 2019 On the Noordam in April/May, the Pinnacle breakfast was available and was OK, not fabulous, but few things on the sad Noordam were fabulous. Could someone explain what Club Orange is? Have not yet experienced it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
