tooalto Posted July 22, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 22, 2004 "An exciting new signature dish, cedar planked lobster with roasted garlic scampi-butter and herb crumbs, is a delectable addition to the already amazing menu offering. Other signature entrees include chicken marsala with Washington cherries and cedar planked halibut with Alaskan king crab. " This sound like my idea of dying and going to heaven. Has anyone seen it on the menu yet? According to HAL's Media press-release site, the date was June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo Posted July 22, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Did you get your info from my post or somewhere else? Mine was from a press release dated 6/21 and did not mention when this would be added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted July 22, 2004 #6 Share Posted July 22, 2004 :) Maybe by the time we get on the Statendam in Oct those items will be on the menu. We were surprised on our last 13 day cruise that Alaskan King Crab legs were not offered in the main dining room for dinner. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superstein61 Posted July 22, 2004 #7 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Ahhhh, what are they waiting for? Why announce it and then not provide it? My 10 year old daughter is anxiously awaiting the Lobster - I hope its added real soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches from georgia Posted July 22, 2004 #8 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Superstein, all the Signature of Excellence improvements are being instituted over a period of time on the various ships. HAL has been very open about that. But, yes, I would think a change in food would be a lot faster to put into affect than new mattresses, so it shouldn't take too long a time to see the changes in the Pinnacle menu.

Krazy Kruizers Posted July 22, 2004 #9 Share Posted July 22, 2004 :) Agree, it should't take that long to get the new menus for the Pinnacle Grill in place. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmorejj Posted July 22, 2004 #10 Share Posted July 22, 2004 So glad they are bringing in changes in the PG, after awhile the menu gets a little boring. Also when we were on the Zaandam in April/May, there were several new dishes on the DR menu, each with a little note at the side saying new signature dish. Hopefully these will be implemented on all ships soon....jean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted July 22, 2004 #11 Share Posted July 22, 2004 :) Jean - I was just looking over the menus from our May cruise on the Maasdam and there wasn't anything marked as being a new dish. In fact everything was a dish that we have had in the past on one of those "dam" ships. Certainly hope we get some new dished on our 21 day cruise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches from georgia Posted July 22, 2004 #12 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Nor did we get anything new on the Maasdam in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmorejj Posted July 22, 2004 #13 Share Posted July 22, 2004 KK, I bet you will get some new dishes on your 21 day cruise. Our chef definitely tried to accomadate us with a different menu each night. Nothing was ever repeated, at least a different sauce or presentation on the chicken or fish dishes, plus we had lobster 4 or 5 nights.....jean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted July 23, 2004 #14 Share Posted July 23, 2004 :) Jean - lobster 4 or 5 times????? Would love that!!!! We have done several 21 day cruises and never had lobster offered that many times ( not even in the good old days). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - Changing over a menu should be pretty quick I would think. Otherwise I think it would make more business sense to hold the announcement until right before the changeover. if you raise expectations and don't deliver - that can only upset people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmorejj Posted July 23, 2004 #16 Share Posted July 23, 2004 KK yes there was lobster on the menu at all the formal nights. We had such a good chef, but for the life of me I can`t remember his name!! I need to dig our my stuff from that cruise and find out. If I find it, I`ll post his name. Also, Henk Hoeksta was our food and beverage manager, we had drinks with him most nights, and he said when pax pay top money for a longer cruise, they should have top service and menus. He did so many things to make our cruise special.....jean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
