All of the dinning room food pretty much has been excellent. A few things that missed the mark slightly, but not many. On my first cruise I had a creme brulee that was to die for. Funnily enough, I'm not much of a dessert or sweets person at all, but that is one of the dishes that most sticks out in my mind.

Funny how that can happen on a ship

On Paul Gauguin I ordered some some sort of local South Pacific fish that came with a creamy Tahitian vanilla sauce. The sauce wasn't sweet, but more like a frothy whipped creamy creation with a hint of vanilla. It was the most heavenly thing I have ever had in a restaurant!

On the Paul Gauguin I would expect nothing less than the best. I hope you tried quite a bit of the fresh fish. It must have been heavenly.

The fish was wonderful, and I sure did eat a lot of it. But it was that vanilla sauce that was remarkable, like nothing I have had before or since. I mean, that was 4 years ago and I can still remember the exact taste and texture...it was that good. We'll be back on that ship in a few weeks, and I hope it's still on the menu!

I've found the second time around usually misses the mark. I like to try new things anyway and it's nice if it not what you expected you can get something else.

I am a dessert lover. But since I usually only eat ice cream, popsicals, or cookies at home, I like to enjoy the various desserts onboard. If I could (without gaining a ton of weight), I would try all of the souffles.

We don't eat a lot of deserts at home. But RCL has wonderful sugar free deserts, which means that DH, who is diabetic, gets all sorts of stuff that he normally doesn't. That is just so special for him.

The bread pudding on the Veendam. I can still taste it. Now the bread pudding on the Noordam last year was nowhere near as good.

I think you made a good point Reggie.
