Change to Canaletto service

It appears that while the menu remains the same, the "sharing" is gone in the Canaletto. They have also brought back the antipasto platter and have a couple of extra, special dishes.

Thanks for posting this.

Good news. :)

Excellent! There must have been a lot of waste the "sharing" way! Maybe we'll go again and try it out.

I can't bring up the file posted. Can you tell me if the lasagna is back?

No. It's the same dishes as the "Sharing" menu, just not shared.

That is good news! I did not like the sharing concept at all. Thanks for letting us know.:)

That's what I'm thinking. If I get bored on my cruise I may check it out.

You, bored?:eek:

I'm June on the Maasdam the antipasto plate and individual entres where offered.

Bored of the food:D. There is a tamarind so it probably won't happen. I said that stupid sharing thing wouldn't last long. Hal should listen to me once in a while;).

Maybe we will try the Canaletto.

We didn't bother to go there the last few cruises as the "sharing" is not our thing.

Well if the Maasdam had it in June -- hopefully it is fleet wide by now.

I can't comment on the quality of the food but I think that items on the menu sound pretty good. We will give it a go in Feb on the Maasdam.

DW and I loved the sea bass and the clams at the Canaletto and will be having again next week on the Eurodam. We do look forward to trying the Tamarind as well. Have read so many great reviews of both lunch and dinner.

Just so you don't get turned off if you eat lunch first before trying dinner, I find the lunch is so so. Dinner is very good.

Thanks for the input. We are looking forward to eating lunch at the Tamarind. Been reading excellent reviews h there and we both love sushi.

I agree. Dinner in Tamarind is wonderful but lunch is not so much to my taste.

There isn't any sushi at lunch. At one time they did but that has gone away. You'll have no problem getting it at dinner. I can't wait to have dinner at the tamarind in less than a month:).

Bummer....guess I'll look at lunch menu and if not to our taste we'll go to PG or lido.

I tried to find the lunch menu but I'm not having much luck.

Thanks for looking..I'll find on the ship and take pic to send to hal-facts.

"sharing"? What was that? Just thinking about it gives me the willies. A friend ours posted a pic of something they called "monster drink" there were about six people sitting around the table with long straws drinking from one huge drink in the center. GROSS! And people wonder why they get sick! Good thing the picture was from a bar on land. (If it was on a ship the CDC would have been all over the cruiseline!)

We loved the Antepasta plate when we were at canaletto's the last time. (So much food, we did not leave hungry))))

I liked the prior menu in the Canaletto before the change made to the sharing concept on my last cruise. I am happy to see that HA has yet made another change. Maybe a result of pax feedback and low volume. I like to change things up between MDR, Pinnacle, Tamarind and Canaletto when possible. Admittedly, Canaletto is visited less frequently than the others on my cruises (menu choice). That said I can give one positive (IMO) in regard to the Canaletto brand named wine which at $22 a bottle (red), if I recall correctly, was not a bad value for price. It was not bad on the taste buds and compared to the price of others brand names was well worth it.

Thanks for posting. We may give the Canaletto another try.

So glad to hear they are back to the original course. We loved the antipasti plate, and the idea of sharing not what I would like. Only wish their Osso Bucco was still on the menu! That was my Favorite. I see they have a pork loin dish. hummmmmm, hopefully it might taste good, probably not as good as what I have had in Milan, but will see.
