Editing to say that I was writing this as Pat was posting his that appears before.

David, of course you can request a particular meal, but you are still going to get the same meat or fish that is supplied to the ship.

It would drive the kitchen crazy if everyone would do this. Would totally upset their rhythm and just make it worse for everyone, service-wise. A special occasion now and then, yes, yes.

What complaints in particular do you have about the meat or fish, since you do not think it is the cooks? You are surely not the first to bring this up, just none lately on this board. I do recall that Fred and Pat in their many fine reports have made mention of a very few food slip-ups, as well as a service issue related to late arriving tours after lunch. But that's all.
