SailKeyWest, the suite breakfasts are not in the Pinnacle on my cruise. They are sending us to the regular dining room, but sitting us on one side, while everyone else sits on the other side, and at the rear. It's still a nice breakfast, but it's a little less special.

We are going to the Pinnacle tonight specifically because it is the Indonesian Crew show tonight. We have the later seating, and this way our waiters will have more time to get ready for their performance.

Neal, we have 2 sea days in a row, so we are eating in the Pinnacle on a sea day, and not on a formal night. But I know that is not true for all cruises.

I recommend taking a look at your dinner menu each day, and if you don't see anything special for that night, call the Pinnacle immediately and make an appointment! If you are in a deluxe suite, you will have a menu in your stateroom that your steward will update daily.

Another alternative is to have a Pinnacle lunch on a sea day. But I do want to know what Yonnie suggests also.

Yonnie is away on her cruise now and won't be back here on CLF till Nov 15 or 16, so we wil have to wait a bit for her input.

SailKeyWest in on an Alaska cruise so she won't be sailing just yet---plenty of time for others to chime in.

Mindy, it is so wonderful for you to be giving us first hand accounts from the ship! Thank you!
