That must feel like a dream come true. Enjoy!

That is great to hear.  Our guest service manager on the Zaandam told us that now that the ships are sailing full and that the fares have increased, expect to see more of the little things that were cut after covid return.

A lot of things are brought back.

I must have missed something.  What are Pop up Dinners?  

[oakridger]

A dinner with a menu that is only offered temporarily.  The menus are usually from one of the other HAL restaurants that aren't on that ship.  Example: Tamarind isn't on Zuiderdam but one evening on Zuiderdam they offer the Tamarind menu food at the Pinnacle Grill restaurant.

 

I hope that explains it clearly!

 

It's a good opportunity to have some variety in the dinner choices, and, oh yeah, makes more money for HAL!!

Last year it was one of my favorite -- on April Fools. Tiffany had a lot of fun making each course look like something else. Like first course looked like a dessert, but it was a savory starter. Introduced confusion between you sight and taste. No idea what it will be like this year.

I think it's an April's Fools type of dinner.

I hope that those of us on less-than-grand voyages will see some of these improvements.
