SilvertoGold Posted June 20 #2 Share Posted June 20 I hope they have the dark chocolate ones! Big improvement if they do. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navybikermom Posted June 20 #3 Share Posted June 20 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… 😉 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted June 20 #8 Share Posted June 20 (edited) 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." https://stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2024/06/20/holland-america-line-partners-with-lindt-to-savor-special-moments-on-board Edited June 20 by BermudaBound2014 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger_77 Posted June 20 #9 Share Posted June 20 Lindt truffles once per cruise . . . oh my. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Haljo1935 Posted June 20 #10 Share Posted June 20 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AerynSun_JohnCrighton Posted June 20 #11 Share Posted June 20 Yep. I wonder if there's a way to tell them which you prefer? We like Dark best. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajkr74 Posted June 20 #12 Share Posted June 20 (edited) 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.

Rare WriterOnDeck Posted June 20 #13 Share Posted June 20 I've had one every night so far on this Ultimate Alaska Legendary Cruise -- perhaps a differentiator for the "legendary." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swin26 Posted June 20 #14 Share Posted June 20 We haven’t had any on our 14 day Norway/Scotland cruise on the Rotterdam. Tonight is our last dressy night- so maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ski ww Posted June 20 #15 Share Posted June 20 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TiogaCruiser Posted June 20 #17 Share Posted June 20 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can usually manage that or least they did on the Grand African. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted June 21 #23 Share Posted June 21 (edited) 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 Edited June 21 by Mary229 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
