Don't forget to try the Tamarind Restaurant as well -- we loved it!!

[dan33]

Do you need a reservation for the Tamarind at lunch time?:rolleyes:

[dwkestner]

Its a good idea, saw some people shut out - on a sea only day, might be more wide open in port.

 

While the Tamarind Lunch was extremely elegant and the servers wonderful, I found the food to be sort of ordinary. Dinner was much better.

[dandro]

Thank you for the menu...makes my mouth water. Looking forward to enjoying the food when we go on the Westerdam 5/31!

[Krazy Kruizers]

Do you need a reservation for the Tamarind at lunch time?:rolleyes:

 

Yes -- they get very busy on port and sea days -- at least they were always busy on our cruises.

[taxmantoo]

Yes -- they get very busy on port and sea days --

 

I guess that means EVERY day ?

[Krazy Kruizers]

I guess that means EVERY day ?

 

 

On our back-to-back cruises - Nov/Dec -- the Tamarind was busy every day for lunch.

After all -- it is free for lunch.

KK - Did you try the Lobster Bisque? I think I remember you saying that your DH was a huge fan of the NW Clam Chowder & sorry to see it go. Same with my DH. So he's looking forward to the Lobster Bisque. Is it a good alternative? I'm also intrigued by the Lobster Mac & Cheese. Did you try it? Impressions?
