J0Y0US Posted August 3, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Wondering if anyone has some examples of the expanded menu? We might do a last minute Alaska cruise through HAL. I prefer specialty and suite specific dining venues as I feel the food quality is up a couple notches typically so was hoping this might be the case with HAL even though its not in its own specific restaurant.

DaveOKC Posted August 3, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 3, 2022 The only thing I am aware of for Neptunes is an expanded breakfast menu. Nothing for Lunch nor dinner. However, Club Orange customers (which Neptunes are) do get an extra entree at dinner. Maybe Crew News (board member) has some example menus.

Rare kazu Posted August 3, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Suite specific dining venues? The only place that is suite specific (Neptune Suite & above) is the Neptune Lounge with it’s continental breakfast, lunch nibbles and hors d’hoeuvres. Holland America does not have separate dining for suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it might be a single menu item each night possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The older ships in the MDR just have a separate menu for Club Orange patrons, again the same except for the one extra item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are the menus for all 7-Day Alaska cruises for this season. Note that there is an additional item than can be ordered by Club Orange guests.

DaveOKC Posted August 3, 2022 #8 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I knew Crew News would come through! Now - is Gala night always on days 2 and 5 ? On my upcoming Eurodam cruise I was thinking it would be day 2 and 6 due to early port day (7-1 pm) on day 6 in Ketchikan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicd1969 Posted August 3, 2022 #9 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) A few other Club Orange extra choices that I recall on my Norway cruise were Shrimp Jambalaya (served on one of the gala dinner nights), Lamb loin, Seared Tuna Salad (basically an entree sized dish even though it's marked as appetizer), and ham/ pork belly steak. I went to specialty restaurants 2 of the 7 nights however. Edited August 3, 2022 by vicd1969 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On non-Pinnacle-class ships, the Pinnacle dining room is open for breakfast in the morning for suite guests (Neptune and Pinnacle). I believe, but am not completely sure, that people who pay for Club Orange are excluded for this. And of course on Pinnacle-class ships, suite guests can dine in the Club Orange dining room for breakfast and dinner, as can other guests who pay additional for Club Orange.

Oops forgot about the breakfast. Thanks for the correction. and yes, on the non Pinnacle class ships, people who pay for Club Orange are excluded from the breakfast in the PG.
