I don't care to eat fish.... but David would love it!

It nearly sounds like a replacement for the Chef’s Table or Cellar Master dinner?  Hope that the Cellar Master is being continued.

One thing that always irritates me about these special dinners is they are not eligible for the 50% Mariners discount.  It’s a good idea as typically gala nights are not super crowded in Pinnacle.  

[LAFFNVEGAS]

If wanted to go it would have to be with Friends, other than the Beef Tenderloin and halibut with Lobster there is nothing else there that my husband would eat.

We will see how long this one lasts.....

I'm not a picky eater but there's a lot on that menu that doesn't appeal to me.

 

I occasionally attend wine dinners at Ruth's Chris or Fleming's.  They're generally in the $85 - $125 range (my limit is $100) and the menus are much more appetizing.

A bit pricey but menu looks nice, I would be interested. I do miss chef master and sommelier dinners but they seem to be fewer and far between.

[Boatdrill]

Sounds good to me. I'm in. 

[rkacruiser]

I would be interested.  But, to fully consume each course and to completely drink each glass of wine served?  Not wise for me at this stage of my life.  

 

But, the experience itself?  Yes, might be worth the cost.  

[Florida_gal_50]

It doesn’t appeal to me at all but if others are willing to pay this all the power to them.

[iancal]

If we were going to pay that it would never be on a cruise ship. 

 

It would only be to a land based restaurant that we were familiar with.  Not about to take a chance on a one off that could be anything from mediocre to excellent. 

 

Really....a $142 tab for a meal on a mass market cruise line.?   We will pass. 

 

Gratuity on non gratuity inclusive..... it would not matter.

Ruins our plans, we like going to the Pinnacle on gala nights and order from their regular menu.

It might not be every gala night.

The "GALA" dinner will not likely be held on "GALA" night.   Just another example of how HAL often complicates things or creates confusion by using the same terms interchangeably when they mean to say something else.

That had been my thought too, but on checking availability for our cruise, the Pinnacle Gala is slotted for November 12th, which would be second last night and probably is the final Gala night.  The regular Pinnacle Grill is not available to pre book on November 12th.  It is also not available to book on 7th November when Sel de Mer 'pop up' is offered in PG.

I would be surprised if it’s not on gala night.
