Can you book reservations before you board or is it done onboard ahead of time or the day of? Thanks in advance

[rwmiller]

We booked same day but I think you can book early but not pre-cruise.

You have to book on board - you can book in advance once on board

Normally open just on sea days, but have experienced it open on days when we had a late port arrival, so check once onboard.  Also its been 12-1PM only.

Open on sea days 12-1 on Nieuw Amsterdam. Plenty of room but book earlier in day for 12 if you want a window seat and arrive at 12. One day we went at 12:55 and asked if we could have lunch. Manager looked at his watch and said yes. The second time we went maybe half a dozen tables were filled at 12 and no one came later.

Lunch in the Pinnacle Grill is one of the best bargains found on HAL's ships. Don't let the word get out!

The lunch price is $15 + 18% per person.

We actually enjoy lunches in the PG more than the dinners.  While the PG is often opened for lunch on sea days it is also sometimes opened on a port day (this sometimes happens because the PG is used to entertain/feed some local VIP visitors).  Since the PG lunch schedule is not generally published we usually stop-by the PG during the early days of a cruise and simply ask the staff what days they will be open for lunch.  We generally make reservations at that time.

I agree.  I tend to go for the fish and I find it’s cooked more to my liking at lunch.  It’s been years and years since I’ve seen it open on a port day.  Maybe that happens on longer cruises.

They used to have a Wagyu Burger which was among the best burgers I have ever had...anywhere.  But like many things that "used to be" on HAL it was replaced by a burger made with lesser quality beef.  Despite the cut-backs we always found something to enjoy at lunch.
