My meal on the Eurodam last month was not impressive for the price charged. I posted my review on another thread. With a discount, my preference for Asian meals will remain with the Tamarind.

Rare kazu Posted March 4 #4 Share Posted March 4 I had the Morimoto lobster (surcharge) on a cruise. that itself was enough to convince me not to bother with the dinner. If they can’t cook a lobster without over breading and spicing it, I’m not interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasick Sailor Posted March 4 #5 Share Posted March 4 We were on Rotterdam for 51 days. If I did not find something I liked on the menu, if would be lobster ordered. Here's a few pictures of Morimoto lobster, Tamarind lobster, Pinnacle lobster, Canelletto lobster, and regular MDR lobster. 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare terrydtx Posted March 5 #6 Share Posted March 5 On the K'Dam last November I heard nothing but complaints from passengers who dined there about slow service and food quality. It was enough for us to cancel our reservation later in the cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nieuw Amsterdam full-time Morimoto may be much better. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SusieKIslandGirl Posted March 6 #9 Share Posted March 6 @Seasick SailorDid any of the venues offer a much better lobster than the others? If you had to pick one, which one would it be? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveRoughSeas Posted March 6 #10 Share Posted March 6 We will be on Nieuw Amsterdam in 2 weeks and Morimoto is now next to Tamarind, dinner fee is $55.00 - seems like Nami Sushi is now in the Morimoto restaurant and is a la carte pricing. Don't really want his lobster - but heard raves about his ribs, shrimp and whole fish. Have it booked so will let you all know 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actual charge is $64.90. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meredy Posted March 6 #12 Share Posted March 6 We loved it! On the K'dam last January. Did not have lobster but everything we ordered was delicious. Restaurant was full and service was great. No complaints here. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depended on who prepared it. I liked the sauce. The lobster in Canelletto with pasta was prepared the best, and the butter sauce was delicious. I'd vote.... Canneletto! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenp123 Posted March 6 #14 Share Posted March 6 Just a heads up on the Nieuw Amsterdam. It has a dedicated morimoto restaurant that takes up half of Tamarind and because they are sharing the same kitchen, they significantly reduced the Tamarind menu to make it easier for the kitchen to keep up. I ended up not eating at Tamarind because all of my favorites were not available on this ship. Not saying they aren't good options on the menu, just a lot less than the other ships. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for this information. I was afraid of this shrinking of the menu when I saw the shorter one printed awhile ago, but everyone on the NA before now said the menu was the older one. Now we may have to cancel at least one of our rezes since some of my favorites are also missing....😒 Edited March 7 by PSR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare QuattroRomeo Posted March 9 #16 Share Posted March 9 Morimoto by Sea pop-up just appeared as a dining option when I checked my booking today, so I made a reservation. It is offered twice on our 14 night Noordam cruise end of May. I assume it will be in Pinnacle because there are no timeslots available for Pinnacle on those nights (days 6 & 12).

I saw the same thing on the Rotterdam. Tamarind was not available on April 3rd. Sure enough, Morimoto appeared as bookable. We were able to score a 7 pm slot. The 7 o'clock time filled rather quickly. Fortunately, there are quite a few other times available. Morimoto is not covered by Have It All, so it probably won't fill up as fast.

Morimoto is not covered by Have It All, so it probably won't fill up as fast. There aren't many specialty dining choices on Noordam so I thought adding Morimoto would make it more interesting! We had already booked our specialty reservations so I had to do some juggling to accommodate Morimoto, but fortunately caught it early enough to get timeslots we like for all. Plus a few Pinnacle lunches should round it out nicely. I tried the surcharge Morimoto lobster and XO halibut on Rotterdam this past December and enjoyed both of them, so look forward to trying a full Morimoto menu. Any wine recommendations?? It will definitely be seafood! I will look forward to your own cruise commentary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
