Krazy Kruizers Posted September 23, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 23, 2013 The only other specialty restaurant on this ship is the Canaletto. I do not have its new menu. It is only open for dinner -- $10 per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz chic Posted September 24, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 24, 2013 The only other specialty restaurant on this ship is the Canaletto. I do not have its new menu. It is only open for dinner -- $10 per person. I checked it out on my August 18th cruise. The soup and salad were awesome. The main was mediocre. I liked the last menu better.

I had the fish puttenesca and liked it. If I recall, it was haddock. We think the antipasti platter they serve is delicious. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR NW GUY Posted September 24, 2013 #9 Share Posted September 24, 2013 It is so nice to be able to ask a question here... Don't you just love all the sharing. The menus look YUMMY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USN59-79 Posted September 24, 2013 #10 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Do all the Pinnacle Grills serve lunch, or is that just on the larger ships like the Oosterdam? I hadn't noticed that when we were last on the Volendam and Prinsendam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted September 24, 2013 #11 Share Posted September 24, 2013 All Pinnacles serve lunch but not everyday. Some port days Pinnacle closes. Check with the Pinnacle Manager/check the daily program. Lunch in Pinnacle is wonderful. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz chic Posted September 24, 2013 #12 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I agree, lunch is very nice in the Pinnacle. Generally speaking, it's not super busy so it's a nice way to enjoy lunch. It can be a large lunch depending on what you order so it might be good to keep that in mind if you are having a bigger dinner. I wouldn't describe myself as a small eater :D to give some perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't noticed that when we were last on the Volendam and Prinsendam. All the ships do offer Pinnacle Grill lunches. But it is not always open -- some times they close on Sea Days because of Suite Lunch. And there are some port days that they will also close.

It changed about 2 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
