Dining on HAL

We are leaving Wednesday on Maasdam out of Norfolk. Well, maybe, if Wilma
doesn't get in the way. We have heard that dining in the Pinnacle Grill
(the extra cost restaurant) is half price the first night out. Can anyone
confirm or deny this? Thanks.

Not sure, but the cow and I were in no shape to dress the first night. We
did go later in the week. very nice, well worth the $20.

It has been our experience that Pinnacle is half price on sailaway day. We
have done that on our last two cruises.

By the way, the dress code at Pinnacle is the same as it is in the dining
room.

Perhaps they had already eaten there when they embarked in Vancouver and
this was their second day?

Doesn't matter, Mike..it is applicable only to the very first night that you
board the ship...If it applied to everyone who boarded previously, but had
not eaten there, it would not be the first night only special rate...
