jhannah Posted March 11 Author #3 Share Posted March 11 Bummer! I'd hoped the updates/dry docks would have seen it added. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare terrydtx Posted March 11 #4 Share Posted March 11 On the non-Pinnacle ships, including the Noordam, CO dining is in the MDR, but you have a separate waiting line entrance for dinner and have seating priority over the non-CO passengers waiting to be seated. You will also get the extra CO menu with nightly special entree's. It is not the same experience as the dedicated CO dining room but IMO the next best option. At one time the MDR's had a roped off section exclusively for CO passengers, but I am not sure that is still the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sciencewonk Posted March 11 #5 Share Posted March 11 I believe CO also gets breakfast in the Pinnacle Grill on Noordam. We were in Neptune Suites twice on Noordam and the daily Pinnacle Grill breakfasts were a highlight of our cruises. In my opinion, the extra CO entree in the MDR is extra, not necessarily better. On our last 14-day cruise, I only ordered it once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Pinnacle class ships CO people are able to have breakfast and dinner in the dedicated CO dinning room. Edited March 11 by Sea42 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamcdneh Posted July 23 #8 Share Posted July 23 Does anyone know if the Noordam club orange in the Main Dining room have window seats or is it ticked in a dark corner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a separate area for Club Orange in the MDR on Noordam or any other non-Pinnacle ship that I know of. See Post #4 above. ~Nancy Edited July 23 by oakridger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were on the Noordam in the spring this year there were several tables with little signs indicating CO (in the upper MDR). They were clustered near the entrance, away from the windows, There may have been others elsewhere in the MDR but I did not see them. I am sure if you are not happy with the location they would seat you elsewhere. Personally I think CO is only worth it on the Pinnacle ships with the separate dining rooms.

You will have a separate CO podium at the entrance to the MDR and have priority seating over the non-CO people waiting in line for tables. Just make sure they give you the CO menu when seated, we have found in many cases the special extra CO entree to be very good. We have CO for our Volendam cruise next month.

Us too and we managed to get Club Orange even though we only booked about 5 weeks ago. Paid for itself with the cabin upgrade, but we also did it for the priority tender, considering how tender ports there are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a suite pax, you should go to the MDR podium as soon as you board and see if they can arrange better seating. FYI, Suites have always had most of the benefits of CO, prior to CO even existing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ghstudio Posted July 23 #18 Share Posted July 23 The wait for dinner on the noordam, oosterdam and others in that category can be longer than 30 minutes especially the first nights and depending on your dining time. (yes, we experienced this on the OOsterdam). That can be major benefit but the most important is the cabin upgrade. If you do book with CO, book the lowest cost refundable fare cabin (they choose). If you do your booking online, the fare shown for non HIA is NON-REFUNDABLE. Your CO deposit becomes non-refundable. Ah...the secrets they just happen not to tell you.... You have to call or ask specifically for the refundable, non HAI price...and if you use a TA, make sure they book you a refundable fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
