COLGATE Posted September 13, 2006 #1 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Has anyone had any success in making reservations by prepaying the Pinnacle Grill at the old price of $20.00 prior to the 10/1/06 change to $30.00 taking effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAKcruiser Posted September 13, 2006 #2 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Yes, I made a reservation for November yesterday at $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack704 Posted September 13, 2006 #3 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Yes, I made a reservation for November yesterday at $20. KAK; when you made the reservation for the $20, did you have to specify the date and time? Or can you decide after you board? We're cruising next month, after the price increase, and we're not sure which day we want to eat at the PG. Harvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted September 13, 2006 #4 Share Posted September 13, 2006 You do not have to specify what date you want. Once you get on the ship you can make that decision then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAKcruiser Posted September 13, 2006 #5 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I assume there will be a card in the cabin that you use when you go to the Pinnacle. The agent at ships services said it was fine to make a reservation on board. But she did suggest doing it early to get what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger_77 Posted September 13, 2006 #6 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I made a reservation for our Oct 10 sailing on the Rotterdam. It is an open reservation and there will be a card waiting in our cabin upon arrival. We can then decide which night we'd like to enjoy dinner in the Pinnacle. Oh, and the charge was $20 per person - it showed up on my credit card statement right away. Smooth Sailing! :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcorey Posted September 13, 2006 #7 Share Posted September 13, 2006 made two reservations for our 10/7/06 sailing on the oosterdam last week. AMEX was charged the old rate of $20 per person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouff Posted September 13, 2006 #8 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I have today booked a Let's Celebrate package, including dinner for 2 in the Pinnacle Grill on the 28th October at the current rate of $105.50. I was able to select both date and time but had the impression I didn't have to if I hadn't wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loralu Posted September 14, 2006 #9 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I just booked the pinnacle for our Nov Noordam sailing through ship services, $20 per person for a specific date and time, but they recommend that I go to the Pinnacle when I arrive on board to confirm.

newmexicoNita Posted September 14, 2006 #10 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I just did it as a bon voyage gift to ourselves and the couple cruising with us. I faxed it Saturday and haven't heard anything back so assume it went through. No, I didn't do any dates as I wanted to wait and find out when formal nights are.

NMNita Nita, I too sent a fax on Saturday the same as you have, sending a Bon voyage gift to my DH and booking the Pinnacle. We are too far away to ring so this was the best way for us to do the booking. I have been watching my Amex account and nothing has come through as yet so yesterday I sent an email to Ship's Services together with the copy of the fax and I still haven't heard back. :rolleyes: We sail on the 24th and will be leaving home on the 21st so I am not sure what to do now. Any thoughts! Jennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouff Posted September 14, 2006 #12 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I too had sent a Fax back in late August and heard nothing and my card was not charged. We are UK residents and our cruise departs 25th October. I telephoned Ships Services yesterday, got straight through and made my booking at current prices. I did mention that I had sent a Fax and was advised that they do not process those until about 2 weeks before sailing date. I was also assured that my booking would not be duplicated. I would recommend 'phoning to be sure of getting the current price. My call was made at 10:00 (am) hours Seattle time which is perhaps why I got straight through. International calls are relatively cheap these days and I think it's worth a try, you can always hang up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Gal Posted September 14, 2006 #13 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Bouff, Would you mind giving me the phone number you called Ship's Services. I will give them a call if nothing has happened by early next week. Unfortunately, if I wanted to call Seattle at 10am, I would have to set the alarm here for 3am and of course we are a day ahead but that isn't such a problem. Also, hoping to save the extra $10p.p before it is increased, I do not want to spend that on International phone calls as it defeats the purpose. It might be a reasonable cost for you from the U.K. but I think it is quite an expensive proposition from here. Jennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conniepo Posted September 14, 2006 #18 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I called ship services and paid $20 per person for our Nov cruise - picked a day and time. She said that the rate is locked in even thou the rate is going up to $30 on Oct 1st. Connie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmexicoNita Posted September 14, 2006 #19 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Calling will work the best I guess in this case. I shall call tomorrow: also I will order our booze. NMNita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Gal Posted September 14, 2006 #20 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Hi The number I used was 1-800-541-1576 I hope it works!! Thanks for the number but this morning there was an email waiting for me from Will Chase who looks after the Veendam bookings and he confirmed our order. So I can now breathe a sigh of relief. ;) Jennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonstersd Posted September 14, 2006 #21 Share Posted September 14, 2006 On the Oosterdam (Mexico), is there a night that I should not book the Pinnacle? For instance, a certain night in the dining room that something they serve is a must have???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseygirl3 Posted September 14, 2006 #22 Share Posted September 14, 2006 How far in advance can you book and get the old price? We're cruising the Westerdam in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too have now made reservations for December at the "old" rate of $20.00 pp. This has to be the greatest board going;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
