Hi,
We just got back from a wonderful cruise on the Ryndam. One night they served macaroni and cheese and it was fantastic, does anyone have the recipe?
Thanks

Here you go (had this on the Oosterdam 2 Years ago):

Baked Mac n Cheese

Prep: 15 min., Cook: 7 min., Bake: 20 min., Stand: 10 min. Shredding a block of cheese adds a little more prep time, but the smooth and creamy results are worth it.
Yield

Makes 2 to 3 main-dish or 4 to 6 side-dish servings
Ingredients

* 1 (8-oz.) package elbow macaroni
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 2 cups milk
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
* 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
* 1 (8-oz.) block sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded and divided

Preparation

1. Prepare pasta according to package directions. Keep warm.

2. Melt butter in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-low heat; whisk in flour until smooth. Cook, whisking constantly, 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk, and cook, whisking constantly, 5 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in salt, black and red pepper, 1 cup shredded cheese, and cooked pasta.

3. Spoon pasta mixture into a lightly greased 2-qt. baking dish; top with remaining 1 cup cheese.

4. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Note: For testing purposes only, we used Kraft Sharp Cheddar Cheese. To lighten, 2% reduced-fat milk and reduced-fat cheese may be substituted.

One-Pot Macaroni and Cheese: Prepare recipe as directed, stirring all grated Cheddar cheese into thickened milk mixture until melted. Add cooked pasta, and serve immediately.
Prep: 10 min.
Cook: 7 min.

Does anyone have the recipe for the Lobster Mac & Cheese served in the PG? Both DH & I enjoyed it but found it too rich to have as a full-size entree. I'd love to serve it in smaller portions. I wonder if the recipe is in the new Taste of Elegance cookbook by Chef Rudi? I have the older Taste of Excellence but it's not there. And I wasn't smart enough to ask the PG Chef when we were on-board.

Does anyone have the recipe for the Lobster Mac & Cheese served in the PG? Never mind - my friend Google led me to a food blog that has the recipe. Here it is if anyone else is interested. It really is delicious. ;);) http://www.noralyn.com/blogger/blog1/labels/lobster%20mac%20n%20cheese.lasso

We had heard a lot about the mac and cheese so one night on the Maasdam we tried it in the lido - we were not overly impressed. Perhaps it varies from ship to ship?

I think it may... my DH and DS ordered it on Noordam and loved it; it was different when we ordered it again on Maasdam.

On the Noordam, it was not made with a cheddar cheese, I'd say it was more like Guyere - and very creamy, not greasy.

Not so next time he ordered it.
