Editorial Summary

Tony provides a comprehensive culinary review of his twenty three day voyage on the MS Rotterdam. He evaluates various dining venues including casual options like the Dive In hamburger and hot dog joint and the New York Deli and Pizzeria, where he highlights the late night pizza as a standout. The creator discusses his experiences at the Grand Dutch Cafe, noting the unique textures of Dutch snacks like bitterballen and veal croquettes. The buffet is identified as a primary dining location due to its consistency, diversity of cuisines, and high food quality. While he expresses dissatisfaction with a single meal in the main dining room, specifically citing a dry Tres Leches cake, he praises specialty dining experiences. His positive reviews include the Pinnacle Grill steakhouse and the Asian fusion restaurant, Tamarind, where he enjoyed crispy duck with ginger chili glaze. He concludes by revealing a self imposed prohibition on a large cream puff called a bouchable due to its deliciousness.
