What are the prices of the specialty dining restaurants now?

[Grandma7]

I was wondering if the prices have gone up since I was on last summer. I did see where they are charging for an extra appetizers now. Thanks!

Not since last summer, I don’t think.  Do you have a booking ?  Just check the HAL website for pricing.  I believe the 18% surcharge was applicable in the summer?

[Grandma7]

Yes, I am booked for November. The website just says "additional caharge". When I go to my booking it says it is to early. Can't find prices anywhere.

For my May sailing on the Zuiderdam it lists $22.42 pp for Caneletto, and $46.02 pp for Pinnacle.

Which the price plus 18% tip. The prices can be seen in the Navigator app.

[FlorenceItaly]

I believe the prices I stated include the 18% service charge.  I just went to my Navigator App and it states Pinnacle $39.00 plus 18% service charge.  Lunch is $15.00 plus 18% service charge.

Thanks! I had been looking on website.  I did not see Rudy's on the app though.  ???

Is it a nightly thing on Niew Statendam?

During his talk aboard the World Cruise a few days ago, Gus Antorcha (President of HAL) said that he chose to add up charges for several items rather than increase the base price of the specialty dinners. He also said that due to the response, that might not have been the best choice.

That is what we see today on the Westerdam.  However, there are also add-ons in both restaurants.  Fir

example, just ordering a soup starter and salad, in the PG, will result in an extra $7 + 18%.  And you will get a bill with a place to add an extra tip 👟😐

The price of Canaletto has gone up to around $30 on the Rotterdam including grats.  There was a thread not to long ago about it.  There is a new menu.

[TiogaCruiser]

Canaletto steward told us last night the new menu will roll out on Rotterdam soon. Chicken parmigiana, jumbo shrimp and one other will become part of the everyday menu. They are the most popular. Currently price on Volendam:

TiogaCruiser - Thanks for posting the info. My stepfather and I were on the Niew Statendam last August and we loved the Canaletto.  I'm glad to know the chicken 

parmigiana will be on the menu every night, instead of just Sunday night. I ordered 

a half portion for my entree, but it was still a generous amount and the perfect size 

for me. My stepfather wanted the veal meatballs as an entree, but it was an appetizer.

The waitress brought him an entree sized portion. Food and service were great.

Here is the new menu.  The one above is the old one.

If the one you are referring to as “the one above” is what I posted in post #12, it is the one we ate off of last night and the one posted on our Navigator. It is current for this ship.

I should have said below.  I didn’t say it was current for your ship.  This is the new menu which from everything I understand is now being used on the Rotterdam.  There was also a thread about this about a month ago.

It's astonishing that the leader of an organization with such a long history would make such a mis-step.  It's as if he doesn't understand his customers at all.  🤣

Even good leaders make mistakes, and this "mis-step" could be undone.

Are specialty lunches also available to pre-book?

What are the Tamarind prices?

[Grandma7]

Tamarind is $29 plus 18%. It is strange though....... I noticed in fine print under Pinnacle and Caneletto that extra appetizers would cost extra(different prices for them) but did not see this under Tamarind. This was noted on the app when I was checking prices.
