From the ambiance to the creativity of the dishes. Here are my top five on Contemporary and Premium Cruise Lines:

1) A Taste of De Librije - Nieuw Statendam

Once in a while, the Pinnacle Grill hosts pop-up De Librije dinners inspired by the land-based De Librije in Zwolle, Netherlands. The three Michelin-star restaurant is listed regularly as one of the bet restaurants in the world.

2) Rudii's Sel De Mar - Nieuw Statendam

This is the restaurant for seafood lovers. I ordered Salmon and Blinis as an appetizer and the Bouillabaisse as main. I have never seen so much seafood on one plate. Included also is an amuse-bouche from the chef with a cracker shaped like a little fish and filled with salmon mousse.


3) 150 Central Park - Allure of the Seas

This restaurant offers a pre-fixed menu and can be combined with wine pairing. The Chef explains every dish and the Sommelier explains how the wine changes the taste of the dish.

4) Wonderland - Harmony of the Seas

Offering a six-course dinner of small plates, the menu is very unusual as is the description of items so just go for it.

5) Le Bistro - Norwegian Getaway

Typical French dishes like escargot, coq au vin, duck, etc. are served in a sophisticated dining venue.
