Throughout your cruise vacation, you will enjoy delicious and innovative
menus across a broad range of dining venues. From a casual bite poolside
to a formal five-course affair in our classic main Dining Room, the crew
of Holland America Line will orchestrate a truly memorable dining
experience. Led by Master Chef Rudi Sodamin, the culinary staff creates
signature Holland America line dishes using only the freshest produce
and the highest quality meats and seafood available. Knowledgeable wine
stewards are adept at pairing the perfect wine with every dish. Whether
you desire the relaxed atmosphere of the Lido, the elegance of the
Pinnacle Grill or dinner for two on your private verandah, the choice is
always yours. Holland America is proud to introduce As You Wish™
dining in its main dining room. This innovative program allows you to
choose from the best of both worlds; either traditional pre-set seating
and dining times (see below for times), or a completely flexible dining
schedule. One level of the two-tiered restaurant will offer a
flexible/open dining service from 5:15 to 9 p.m. daily, and the other
will host two seatings, an early and main seating. At the time of
booking choose the plan the best suits your lifestyle and needs. If you
choose the flexible/open seating program, you may make reservations
daily up to 4 p.m. - or simply walk up during dining hours.
Holland America's commitment to culinary choices and personalized
service is further reflected in its many dining options. They offer
complimentary 24-hour room service, special kid-friendly menus at the
Lido Restaurant and Terrace Grill, daily afternoon tea service; elevated
to Royal Dutch High Tea once per cruise, an ice cream bar, espresso and
pastries in the Explorations Café, complimentary hors d'oeuvres during
cocktail hour, hand-dipped chocolates in the Explorer's Lounge after
dinner and a late-night buffet and chocolate extravaganza in the Lido
Restaurant.
Special dietary needs, such a vegetarian, diabetic or gluten-free
meals, are easily accommodated with advance requests. Kosher meals and a
Health Conscious Dining option are also available. To arrange special
meals, please contact the Ship Services Department at 800-541-1576 at
