Holland American partners with Lindt

[Gail & Marty sailing away]

Premium partnership between the two iconic brands features a "Sweet Dreams" elevated turndown service with LINDOR truffles and exclusive, handcrafted desserts made with Lindt chocolate

I hope they have the dark chocolate ones! Big improvement if they do.

That explains why we got Lindt truffles on dressy night on the Rotterdam last month! They were milk chocolate ones, so I gave them to my travel partner. If they had been dark, I might have not been so generous… 😉

I agree with you.😀

[kochleffel]

Ah yes, the Swiss maritime heritage.

 

[Gunther1]

A most definite improvement!  I don’t care which variety has been left on our bed….I love them all .

[puppycanducruise]

Good news.  Both dark and milk are okay with me!

[BermudaBound2014]

Here's a link with a bit more information on what to expect with this new partnership.....

 

"As night falls on Gala Night, guests can retreat to the comfort of their cabin and be greeted by the "Sweet Dreams" turndown service, featuring the irresistibly smooth Lindt LINDOR milk chocolate truffles or Sea Salt milk chocolate truffles once per cruise."

 

"Lindt Sundae including vanilla ice cream topped with a custom-made Lindt chocolate sauce, as well as Lindt chocolate tulips one night per cruise in the Dining Room on the Dutch Day dinner menu."

Lindt truffles once per cruise . . . oh my.

[Haljo1935]

This is likely why we noticed a change in the chocolate we received on our last couple cruises - they worked through their supply of the HAL branded chocolates and used something else in the interim until this partnership launched.

I'll happily take any yummy chocolate they want to give me.

[AerynSun_JohnCrighton]

Yep. I wonder if there's a way to tell them which you prefer? We like Dark best.

Started out just on our first Dressy night we got chocolates but now thru our 12th day at sea on the 28 day Alaska Solstice cruise on the Westerdam we are getting them every night.

I've had one every night so far on this Ultimate Alaska Legendary Cruise -- perhaps a differentiator for the "legendary."

[swin26]

We haven’t had any on our 14 day Norway/Scotland cruise on the Rotterdam.  Tonight is our last dressy night- so maybe?

[ski ww]

Yesterday when we where shopping I bought a Lindt 70% cacao Dark, I'm having some right now. Looking forward to our cruise & hopefully we'll get some every night.

as if the Netherlands has no history of chocolate making.  Now a partnership with Droste would be news!

[TiogaCruiser]

I’m looking forward to this. I love Lindt. 
 

The original HAL chocolates were too sweet for me- I guess I just don’t really like Dutch chocolate.

[doone]

Yummy, I love any kind of chocolate, dark, milk, white, bring it on...................

[CNSJ]

Chocolate.  More is good.

Talk to your room stewards.  They can usually manage that or least they did on the Grand African.

Acknowledging your post as humor, I feel it necessary to point out that Switzerland does actually have a maritime history and an official navy. Try a search on the Swiss historical museum for relevant articles.

I am not a big fan of Lindt but the quality of the little squares had gone down so change is good .  I would have preferred a good Belgian or Dutch chocolate

So I’m wondering if @RuthC is aware of this.
