Help! HAL questions re wine and Pinnacle Rest.

[Surrey Girl]

Can anyone answer a few questions...

1. Has anyone eaten at the Pinnacle? Are there any 1/2 price seatings?

2. Does HAL allow you to bring wine on board. I hear some lines allow you to bring two bottles in your carry on.

3. I heard someone mention a HAL 'wine punch card' that was purchased on shore?? Buy 8 glasses for the price of 5 or something like that? Where was this purchased? Price?

Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time!!

Yes, I have eaten at the Pinnacle Grill. No, there are no longer any 1/2 price seatings. Dinner is $30 per person, lunch is $15 per person.

2. Does HAL allow you to bring wine on board. I hear some lines allow you to bring two bottles in your carry on.

Yes, HAL allows you to bring wine onboard; there is no limit. There is a $15 per bottle corkage fee if you consume your wine in the restaurants.



Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time!!

You are welcome. Anything else?:)

Thanks for posting the links to the PG menus -- yum!

What are the hours for lunch and dinner? Or does it vary by day?

At the PG can you order more then 1 item from the menu. For example can you order 2 entrees? 2 starters or two deserts???

It's my understanding that you may order more than one side dish, but you may order only one entree. (Believe me, that's sufficient).
I don't know if may order more than one dessert, but you may not have room for even the one. ;)

Would you ask this of a land-based restaurant?

The more pax who board cruises with expectations of "all you can eat" , the greater the liklihood that quality of the food product will diminish, over time.

In my experience, the Pinnacle Grill is open for dinner from 5:30 pm to 9:30 pm. Lunch is served in the Pinnacle Grill on non-port days, either from 12 noon to 1 pm, or 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm. The hours will be posted in your Daily Program.

The hours will be posted in your Daily Program.Karin, you can't even count on that "sea days" rule for lunch. On the Veendam in Dec it was open 1 sea day, one semi-sea day (i.e., ETA arrival 11:00a), and two port days. It was closed on our 2nd sea day, coming home. OP: ask the manager about the schedule early in the week if you want to go there for lunch. :)

My understanding is that Veendam closes the PG on the last sea day to accommodate the “Suites Brunch / Lunch” that is served in the Crow’s nest ( as it is served by the PG waiters)
