We met him on Arcadia in Barbados during its first season, he was very approachable and his passion for cooking was obvious.

Will always remember the meal we had in Arcadia Rhodes overlooking Funchal one night.

That's very sad news, I remember meeting him after one of his demonstrations on Arcadia..I always felt he was harshly done by P and O he was a lovely man who always stopped to chat and sign books etc.

Familiar with his recipes but never met him on a P&O ship although we were all chatting away a few years ago in a Wiltshire pub one Sunday lunchtime … took me a minute or two to realise who he was though.

Gary Rhodes was far too young to die. Such amazing tributes from other Chefs pouring in. I still think that the meal we had in Arcadian Rhodes was one of the best meals we've had on board a P&O ship, much better than Marco we think. I make one of his recipes every Christmas, an Apple and Grape Chutney that's fantastic with a Chicken Liver Pate - or any other pate or cold meat come to that. It's become a Christmas tradition.

I visited one of his restaurants in Dubai about 8 years ago but hadn’t ever been in the one on Arcadia. He was so young and his death sounds unexpected - very sad :(

An absolute gentleman. We had a couple of meals in Oriana Rhodes while he was on board . He was a Man Utd fan and enjoyed his pint in Lords Tavern watching football. Current select dining is nowhere near the standards he set. RIP.

Very sad, and as has already been said what a young age.
