I actually have news!!! My freedom was not long but we went to the Captain's toast and some officers and the Captain were outside.   I was stating my hatred of the Promenade Deck on the Mining scam but admitted my love of the Grand Dutch Cafe.  ..... I'm not sure who said but works are on to put the Dutch Cafe on the Zuiderdam.... Perhaps all the smaller ships.   Fingers crossed it's not a cruel rumor.

Why do you hate the Promenade Deck on the Koningsdam?

What is NOT included at Grand Dutch with the have it all?

 

I will be heartbroken if it's this 8 inch cookie....😭

With the Have It All the drinks are included in your 15-per-day as well. Life is Good.

We were on the mighty K-dam in 2016.. and enjoyed the Dutch Apple Pie.. 

Looking at the posted menu, it doesn't seem to be listed.. 

We sail on the New Years cruise coming up on her.. 

Can anyone on a recent cruise clear up if the Apple Pie is still offered?

Yes.  Pea soup and a ham sandwich is a good start for a cruise.  Also, a chance to pick up your first huge chocolate chip cookie.  Grand Dutch Cafe Menu

Visit early in the week to get the broadest menu selection.  On our Dec 2022 Nieuw Statendam cruise, the Dutch Cafe began running out of some of the items mid-week.  One item in particular was the berries for their Triple Berry Pannenkoek.

 

They said it was a supply chain issue...no berries were in the resupply stock they received prior to the cruise.  They also hadn't received any stock of a number of their specialty Dutch beers (almost brought a tear to my eyes).

We had it on the Rotterdam in November and Nieuw Statendam in January.   It was very good, but didn't look like the typical round American pie.  

The menu posted doesn't include pastries/deserts

I didn't put that accurately ----  it doesn't include ALL the pastries and deserts that we saw in the display case.

We had what looked like a stacked apple slice pastry at the Dutch Cafe  - Dec/Jan 2023- not quite a pie, not quite a cake, but it was very tall and full of apple slices.  Might have had a crust around it - top or bottom.

This is an example of how a dutch appeltaart looks like

Agree, the apple tart is delicious!

Due to diet restrictions, I only ate two 8-inch chocolate chip cookies in 11 days on Rotterdam in December 2021. They were the BEST I have ever eaten (81 years old and counting). Not only were they great, but I was lucky enough both times to get them still warm. I thought "This is what Heaven must be like!"

Never did get a cookie, but DH and I shared the apple tart at least once and the Friet & Mayo several times. The latter goes well with a Hoegaarden ale.

I’m very interested in trying the Grand Dutch Cafe on HAL.  Can anyone give me their thoughts on the quality of the pannenkoek?  I found one photo of the apple and bacon pannenkoek, but none of the triple berry.
