Main Dining Room
Each evening as the dinner hour approaches, the melodious call of
the chime master invites guests to the main dining room, where
another incredible experience awaits. Rare art, elegant staircases
and panoramic windows surround tables laid with fine linens, silver
and sparkling stemware. Servers greet guests and present menus of
sumptuous five-course selections, from appetizers and drinks to
entrées and dessert.
Savor seared sea scallops, filet mignon topped with crab and
Hollandaise, and wines rated "excellent" by The Wine Spectator.
Fresh herbs and imaginative combinations make lighter fare an
equally tempting choice, and we gladly offer a kosher menu and
options to meet special dietary needs upon request.
Although Holland America offers open seating for breakfast and
lunch, there are four sittings for dinner on our ships. * Dinner
times are 5:45 pm (First Upper), 6:15 pm (First Lower), 8:00 pm
(Main Upper) and 8:30 pm (Main Lower). You may request any sitting
time, table size and with whom you wish to sit. All such requests
should be made in advance of sailing through your travel agent.
Requests will be confirmed or waitlisted at the time of booking.
Table numbers and table size are on request only and will be
assigned by the Maître d' on board.
*Except the ms Noordam and ms Prinsendam, which have two
sittings; 6:00 pm (First) and 8:15 pm (Main).
The status of your seating request is listed on your Cruise
Contract. A confirmation card with seating assignment and table
numbers will be waiting for you in your stateroom upon boarding. If
for some reason your dining request was not submitted before your
cruise date, the Maître d' will assign you to the sitting that is
available.
Special Diets and Meals: Kosher*, Passover Seder dinner,
gluten-free, salt-free, fat-free, baby food, diabetic and other
special dietary needs can be accommodated only if we are notified in
advance. To arrange special diets, please contact the Ship Services
Department at 800-541-1576 at least 60 days prior to departure.
While we shall do our utmost to fulfill all requests, it may not
always be feasible. Holland America reserves the right to substitute
products when specified brands are not available. An additional
charge, including shipping and handling, may be applied. Reconfirm
any special requests with the Maître d' after you board.
*Kosher meals are prepared off the ship in a kosher kitchen,
frozen and brought to the table sealed in their original containers.
There is no kosher kitchen on board nor do we have kosher dishes,
utensils, pots or pans on the ship. |
