From movies to crepes - Eurodam

[Dallas girl]

Hi all. Is there a good selection of recent, say 2-5 years old, DVDs in the library? I assume there are plenty of classics. :) Also, would anyone be able to tell me what movies are currently being show in the theater? I read on another thread that Lincoln was shown - hoping that's still being shown.

 

Lastly, will I be able to find crepes on board? I can't recall which lines we've sailed before that had them in the buffet area, but since they make me especially happy, I'd like to know. :D

I know I paid for them on X last year & that's okay too!

I've never seen crepes on a HAL ship but maybe I haven't looked in the right place.

Been years since they made crepes tableside in the MDR every night. We well remember crepes suzette, bananas foster, cherries jubliee etc all made at our table side. Then they moved the cart to the side but continued to offer them. Then they started bring prepared crepes from the galley........ then they stopped them just about entirely.

 

I don't recall seeing crepes in Lido on any regular basis.

On the Noordam crepes were offered during the dessert extravaganza.

[sail7seas]

Nice to hear that.

We haven't been to a dessert extravaganza in at least our last 50 cruises. :D

crepes were offered for breakfast in the Lido some mornings, with a selection of fruit toppings, and they were being prepared fresh right at the counter - they seem to try to vary some of the breakfast selections

 

never remember having dessert crepes offered at dinner in MDR or Pinnacle after many different ships - I would have ordered them for sure if they had been there

What ship was this on?

[Krazy Kruizers]

Have to agree -- it has been several years since HAL has prepared any fancy desserts either tableside or even in the kitchen like crepes, etc. Those desserts we loved.

These new desserts -- not very good.

You burst my bubble. Lol! ;)

As much as I like crepes, I don't think that I am going to sail on the Noordam or stay up for the dessert extravganza just to get them.

I have no memory of ever seeing breakfast crepes in Lido but am interested to hear others have. I admit we don't go to Lido breakfast very often so may not know what we are missing. :) On which ship did you see them/eat them?

DH loved when they made him crepes suzette and cherries jubilee tableside. Dinner was so elegant in those years. The desserts today are a shadow of their former 'selves'. :D I'm happy as they don't tempt me. Most I have is a dish of sherbert or a scoop of ice cream and then only have a spoonful or two and am finished. I'm happy to not be tempted.

The dessert crepes prepared tableside was one of the things that distinguished HAL as "premium".

[Krazy Kruizers]

I remember when we used to have the Suite buffet on a couple of ships in the Exporer's Lounge and they made the crepes there as well.

I no longer like HAL's ice cream -- I don't know what brand they are getting now, but it has no flavor.

I also recall stewards passing sectioned silver serving dishes each dinner offering our choice from various vegetables. There were always four or five choices and he'd serve our choice to each of us.

It has been years since HAL did that.

We also had it on Cunard and Princess.

There were crepe's for breakfast most mornings in the Lido at the waffle station on the NA Thanksgiving 2012 and the Eurodam Easter 2012. My kids had them for the first time and loved them (with the fruit topping and whipped cream of course:))

We had breakfast crepes in the Lido while on the Rotterdam. They were delicious!

Sounds like dessert. :D

 

whipped cream and fruit........

Happy the children enjoyed them. :)

When we were on the Rotterdam in 2010 we had crepes in the Lido every morning.

[pv girl]

it was on the Prinsendam that I had them

they were making them fresh, so you had to wait - well worth it

 

yummy!

[Dallas girl]

Glad to see I'm not alone in my crepe love.

 

Lido for breakfast will be a daily check for sure! I hope I get lucky. Thanks for the info.

 

Anyone have any info on the movie front?

Thank you

There are a lot of things done on the Prinsendam that are not and never will be done on the other ships.

Crepes may be one of them for breakfast.

Maybe this will spread to the other ships -- I hope.

You'll find DVDs more recent than two to five years. Actually, they have a decent selection of recent releases.
