pinnacle dining

[debblue]

just received a call from a very close freind who informed me that the pinnacle dining room will be having the indoneisan crew in it ...I am so happy as i have always loved the special crew that holland american has ,not that there was anything wrong the crew working in the pinnacle but it lost some of its tradition and i was beginning to think with all the subtle changes holland american would not be the same line as i have known it.:)

That is very interesting. Did your friend say that this will be on all ships, or on a particular ship? I will be pleased to see the Indonesians serving in the Pinnacle. The Eastern Europeans are a little bit too aloof for me. I know this is the way waiters are in Europe, but I still prefer the friendliness of the Asians.....jean :cool:

Please give us more details.

I also want to know if this is going to be on all ships, etc.

Did your friend say when this would happen?

That's Great!!


I felt so bad when we dined in Pinnacle on Zuiderdam the last night that the Indonesians worked there. They had put in so much work getting it up and running well and it really was spectacular IMO And then they were replaced with the Eastern Europeans. This has nothing to do with the Europeans but everything to do with how disappointed I felt for those crew who had worked so hard only to be so poorly rewarded.

On our last cruise there were only 4 Europeans working in the Pinnacle Grill and every time there was a BBQ or something like that, 2 of them were assigned to work that area and not the Pinnacle (even at dinner time).

I guess its too soon to book the Pinnacle dining room for the first night of our cruise Nov. 26, 2005. Don't want to miss out and be too late booking. I'm a little anxious to get started booking things other than the cruise so far.

You are anxious - yes it is way too soon to book the Pinnacle for Nov 26, 2005.

You are going to be on the Veendam?

[boards]

Yes. Just want to be sure there is a table available for us. It will be our 49th anniversary. Kind of important, eh.

Congratulations on your up-coming 49th anniversary on the Veendam in 2005.

We will also be on that cruise.

Maybe will get to meet you.

Gee - then in just a few days you will be celebrating your 48th anniversary.

Congratulations!

Congratulations, Boards. Hope you have a wonderful 48th and have all the fun of looking forward to your Anniversary next year aboard Veendam.

Yes and thank you both. Would like to have celebrated it on a cruise, but we did a 28 day land cruise around and through 19 states of your beautiful country. It was a great trip.
