Alaska59 Posted July 28, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Does anyone who has sailed on the Maasdam this summer to Canada know what day the Mariner's lunch is? I suspect it will be on the only sea day on the trip. If that is the case, that may conflict with plans for a nice lunch at the Pinnacle Grill.

freestyling Posted July 28, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Unless you or someone you know are receiving a sea day medallion, I would enjoy lunch at the Pinnacle over the Mariners lunch any day. You can always go to the front desk to receive your tile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted July 28, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Do agree -- we haven't gone to the Mariner's brunch in several years. We make arrangements with the concierges to get our tiles for us. Lunch in the Pinnacle is better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Gail & Marty sailing away Posted July 28, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 28, 2017 And a different view, Mariners lunch is some times very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English_in_Spain Posted July 29, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I find the Mariner's lunch/brunch a bit too early for me. The timing would be ok if it were a brunch/breakfast style menu but I cannot eat the sort of food that is served at this lunch at 11 or 11.30 in the morning.

RuthC Posted July 29, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I find the Mariner's lunch/brunch a bit too early for me. More than a bit for me. At 11:30 I am barely an hour after breakfast. Then, with dinner at 8:00, it's just too short a time in the first instance, and too long a time in the latter. Now, if they wanted to schedule it for 1:30, or so, I could get interested.

Yes, it is on the Sea Day and it's rather nice to sleep in a bit, skip breakfast, and then enjoy the Mariner's brunch at 11:30 am. We found it a great chance to meet a wide variety of other passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a very port intensive itinerary and the Mariners Brunch has to be on the only sea day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska59 Posted September 12, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted September 12, 2017 We just got back from Maasdam trip on Sept. 2nd. We went to the Mariners luncheon on the Sydney port day. The menu was unspectacular and I recall having fish which was not too good. I lucked out and got a very bad piece. Service was very slow as they had less waiters and they did the best they could. I thought the luncheon would be on the only sea day, but they had a special Pinnacle lunch that day that they were pushing. It was more expensive than the usual Pinnacle lunch cost.

RMLincoln Posted September 12, 2017 #10 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Hmmm. Putting Mariners Luncheon on s port day while pushing an extra-charge lunch at PG on the sea day sounds like Mariner's Luncheon is taking a back seat, maybe on the way out.... m-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Person ally, I hope that is not what is happening. I have done that itinerary, b-to-b, time and again and Mariners Brunch was always the one and only Sea Day.
