Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted November 9, 2023 Author #176 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Here is pictures of breakfast, Tom had the Biscuits and gravy. He said it was the same as on the Alaska Westerdam Brunch. They actually need someone’s Southern Grandma in the galley teaching them how to make biscuits 😂 8 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BetsyS. Posted November 9, 2023 #177 Share Posted November 9, 2023 That is a big breakfast menu - something for everyone! I'll have a Bloody Mary, half grapefruit, buttermilk pancake stack and coffee. Thank you! 😊 Have a great day! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is odd the picture on halfacts shows no life boat visible. Regardless, I am happy. I found this on cruisedeckplans. This is cabin H4138 from the Nieuw Statendam, but the deck plan looks the same as the Koningsdam. I hope it's correct and I believe you've made a nice switch in cabins. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaoma Posted November 9, 2023 #179 Share Posted November 9, 2023 @FlorenceItaly I should clarify what I meant to say. That picture is actually H4128 but it is in the same position as H4138 relative to the lifeboat. You can check it out for yourself at cruisedeckplans.com to ease your mind. I shouldn't try to text my daughter and write a post on CC at the same time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Koningsdam was the first of the Pinnacle class ships and the lifeboat configuration does not allow passage through the Panama Canal (except with special permission during the Covid shutdown). The Nieuw Statendam and the Rotterdam will have a somewhat different placement from the Koningsdam. Edited November 9, 2023 by oaktreerb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, @LAFFNVEGAS, the ball appears to be back in your court. It does appear that the few other pictures of the lifeboats, show more obstruction. Unfortunately, there is not a picture that is positioned like H4138. @FlorenceItaly, here's a YouTube video from VH4041 that shows, at least, the height of the lifeboat through the glass doors. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlorenceItaly Posted November 9, 2023 #183 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Thanks, ALL. Lisa, my apologies this thread has taken a sidetrack. Let's get it back on track. Have you been attending the music venues? Any luck in the casino? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted November 10, 2023 Author #187 Share Posted November 10, 2023 This afternoon after lunch we came back to the cabin and ended up taking a nap 😴 Unfortunately we work up just a few minutes ago a little to late to get ready for dressy night so decided we would just go to the Lido. So I am going to let you decided if you want to Dine in the Main Dining Room or go Casual in Lido and pick what you would like to eat. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Suzy Posted November 10, 2023 #188 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Hard to choose between MDR and Lido - both have Cracked Pepper Tenderloin (hold the shrimp unless DH wants them). MDR has Caramelized Pineapple, but Lido has Yorkshire Pudding. I think I'll order the Tenderloin and Strawberry Sensation for In-Room Dining. Leaving DH to wait for delivery, I'll go to Lido and get Yorkshire Pudding! The best of both worlds! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackduck59 Posted November 10, 2023 #189 Share Posted November 10, 2023 So the Lido wins with Yorkshire pudding. Asian sesame salad with seared tuna. Pepper crusted Tenderloin with Shrimp Loaded mashed potatoes, grilled cauliflower and Yorkshire pudding for the sides. I will see what I can find for a red wine in the Lido. The strawberry sensation for desert. A nice cup of Earl Grey. I will enjoy a Remy Martin VSOP in one of the bars or perhaps at the show if we decide to go there. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobiemom Posted November 10, 2023 #190 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I’ll eat in the MDR for the escargot. 😋 I’ll also have Moscato, jumbo shrimp cocktail, tangerine glazed duck breast, strawberry sensation, and coffee with Bailey’s. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BetsyS. Posted November 10, 2023 #192 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I will go to the MDR and have chardonnay, roasted beets and orange segments, trout, warm chocolate cake and Earl Grey tea. If I had gone to the Lido, I would have had chardonnay, shrimp and chicken chow mein, fried rice, warm chocolate lava cake and Earl Grey tea. Congratulations on your medallions! 🥂 That reminds me that I will put my medallion on our Christmas tree (the day after Thanksgiving LOL). Thanks for sharing the menus. 😊 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a variety of Earl Grey we first had at a tea shop that blends their own varieties. They call it Creamy Earl Grey and it has vanilla added to the mix. We have also bought a "Tetley" blend called vanilla Earl Grey. We usually have Twinings most days, Mighty Leaf is very good too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cbr663 Posted November 10, 2023 #196 Share Posted November 10, 2023 While on our recent Alaskan cruise I noticed more and more the same food items are simply being recycled throughout the ship. Seems even more and more on this cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lido does serve many/most of the items served in the MDR for dinner, plus many other items. Thanks, ~Nancy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackduck59 Posted November 10, 2023 #199 Share Posted November 10, 2023 So my lovely wife has reluctantly agreed to join me in Lido. She will check out the salad bar to start. The Main is Grilled Salmon for desert the Strawberry Sensation She would enjoy a nice Riesling. She would finish with Baileys in coffee Her being diabetic and having a tomato allergy often makes it hard for her to find something she likes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
