fatcat04 Posted November 26, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 26, 2022 1) Charlottetown, PEI (also tied with Half Moon Cay, such an unspoiled place) 2) Beef Tenderloin in Tamarind, the caviar service at the Pinnacle (it is well worth the money if you like caviar), Dover Sole (deboned tableside) at Rudi's, and an honorable mention to both the lamb chops in Canaletto and the Apple and Bacon Pannenkoek at the Dutch Cafe. 3) Still trying to do sparkly, dh takes his tux and I take gowns or sparkle tops and palazzo pants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooooooh . . . . I forgot about the yummy Apple and Bacon Pannenkoek! I'm glad you still sparkle! I do dress nice at dinner . .. but only travel with one small roll on suitcase, so I take fewer clothes now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No upcharge: pasta-toss made with double veggies, very little pasta. 3: About the same: plain black bottom, sparkly top.

tuolumne couple Posted November 26, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 26, 2022 1. Where is your favorite place to cruise? South Pacific 2. Name your three favorite cruise foods at sea? Veal & Sage Meatballs at Canaletto Cioppino at Pinnacle Asian style breakfast in the MDR 3. Do you dress less "sparkly or formal" on cruises now than in year's past? We try to look nice every night, unless we have been snorkeling all day and are too tired for anything but smart casual. We certainly dress nicer than we do at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like my Salmon very tender, so if you do too, tell your waiter. Asian Style breakfast isnt for everyone but we love it. And the presentation is delightful. The Congee in the Lido is also very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crystalspin Posted November 26, 2022 #14 Share Posted November 26, 2022 We are trying Rudi's for the first time on NYE which is also our (32nd) wedding anniversary. I have reservations for the Pinnacle (part of HIA) on both legs of the B2B. Planning Canaletto as often as possible but waiting until onboard to use OBC. First time on Pinnacle Class Ship so looking forward to Grand Dutch Cafe as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuthC Posted November 26, 2022 #22 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Favorite destination is Antarctica. I've been there three times, and could go again. Favorite foods? Filet mignon in the Pinnacle, prime rib in the dining room, and short ribs in Canaletto. Yum! I dress for dinner every night, with a pretty dress and good jewelry. On 'Gala' nights I up the ante and wear something very dressy made with chiffon or georgette, along with lots of fabulous jewelry. I like to look nice. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BruhnSisters Posted November 26, 2022 Author #24 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Thanks everyone for your informative replies!!!! Now I have ideas for new foods to try on board, and new lands to dream of possibly seeing one day! Our society is so informal now, it is wonderful to have a classy place to dress up for dinner, and also for listening to live music. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
