Did you hear back from HAL? When we filled out our card we gave so many negative reports that we were sure they would contact us. Nope.

When we wrote a letter back in 2007 - we also never heard back from Seattle.

No, we never heard back from them.

I know that tipping is a personal matter, but how much do you generally leave as a tip in the Pinnacle for dinner? I have no idea how much to leave and I want to be fair. Thanks!

Depending on service we will tip anywhere from $5 - $10 per person in the Pinnacle.

Thanks!! That's what I thought but I just wasn't sure.

That sound reasonable , We leave about the amount of money for the tip.

Sounds about right, Yonnie. I think I am pretty much in line with your tipping.

Hubby and I booked a suite for our HAL Alaskan cruise and I am so looking forward to the breakfasts at Pinnacle! Even though they are the same breakfasts as Main dining, I think it will still be special.

I would like to book a Pinnacle dinner for one night during our stay, but am having a tough time trying to figure out which night to do it. Maybe an 'at sea' night?

The only problem about doing it on a sea night is that those are usually the formal nights.

We did the specialty restaurant on a formal night but we had to forgo the lobster to do so.
