Thank you Hours and menus for the Grand Dutch Cafe and the NY Deli & Pizza are available at the lower part of this link: https://rogerjett-photography.com/specialty-2/hal-regular-and-specialty-restaurants/hal-specialty-restaurant-menus/ Although both locations menus show an 11:30 start, they are open earlier with breakfast items such as pastries (Dutch Cafe) and bagels (NY Deli). Expect a long line in the morning at the Dutch Cafe due to everyone queuing for for-fee premium coffees (think Starbucks). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A heads-up for those who like the "snacks" that are supposed to be available in the evening (4:30 - 8 pm). On the Koningsdam, at least, these were "not available" over two cruises, a total of 34 days. Supply problems or just phasing these out and not changing the menu board?

Rare Banditswife Posted January 14, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 14, 2023 We were on the NS for 14 days, Nov/Dec 2022. Dutch cafe opened early for specialty coffee & pastries. I was thinking it was earlier than 7:30, but my I may be remembering wrong. They had a wonderful yogurt parfait & pastries available. There was always a line, but it moved quickly. IMO, best quality of specialty coffee. Lunch there was pretty good too. They do seem to run out of certain things early, so get there when they early. We will be on the NS in March/April 2023 for 14 days, we loved the Grand Dutch cafe & ship. Ready for a repeat. Enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CruiserN1 Posted January 14, 2023 #7 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Does the Dutch Cafe have coffee flavorings to add? Like vanilla syrup for a vanilla latte? Husband is an early riser and brings a vanilla latte and pastry back to the cabin for me to enjoy when I wake up (he's a keeper). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ran out of berries for their "Triple Berry Pannenkiek" about day 4 of our Dec NS cruise. The Dutch Cafe manager said they are supposed to get a new shipment each week but none came in during the 10 Dec cruise turnover. He said they never know what supplies they will get these days. They also were out of all of their specialty Dutch beers except for our favorite, Hoegaarden...whew! They had Heineken too but that's available pretty much anywhere.

I'm not a coffee drinker but I do recall seeing a rack of coffee flavorings there. Same goes for the Crow's Nest coffee shop.

There was a place to get the specialty coffee near the lido buffet, but never as good as when we got it from Dutch cafe. Crows nest was good for a specialty coffee too.

SilvertoGold Posted January 15, 2023 #17 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Unfortunately not all Pinnacle class ships serve the Breakfast menu at the NY Deli. The Koningsdam never had the area open until 11:30 am in 62 days we were on board last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it has to do with how many people are onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
