You have a pretty nice hand.
Do you pass 3NT or try more?

4NT, and feeling a little conservative.

I found this to be an interesting problem. I wondered what hand he might try 3N on looked like, and mostly I came up with 5 or 6 D to the A which makes my hand look really slam-ish. The C hook if required rates to be on. So it looks to me like we have 10 minor suit tricks plus my 2H.
If I give my RHO an 11 count to open I can assign about 10 to partner which suggests to me he must have a decent 5 quite likely 6 card D suit. So mark me down for 4S and a raise of the minor to 6.

Old-fashioned Blackwood would come in handy as I am willing to be in 6♣ with ♣K on a finesse.
I think I try 4♣ anyway, now I take 4♦ and 4♥ as natural so any hand suitable for a club slam will bid 4♠. If p bids 4NT, I pass.

The world would be such a happy place, if only everyone played Acol :) --- TramTicket

With these hands 6♣/6♦ was easy.
Most posters above would have found it, all with different methods.
I like 4♣ because it's natural and i think north should cue 4♠ after that.
