yamcrzr Posted September 14, 2009 #1 Share Posted September 14, 2009 This probably sounds a little odd but I have to ask (the 11yo has been dying to find out) if there are any warm cookie stations on pacific sun as there was on pacific dawn? Thanks, :D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love my cruises Posted September 15, 2009 #7 Share Posted September 15, 2009 This probably sounds a little odd but I have to ask (the 11yo has been dying to find out) if there are any warm cookie stations on pacific sun as there was on pacific dawn? Thanks, :D:D:D I don't think it's an odd question at all. Those cookies are yummy. I had quite a few when I was onboard although I think the ones on the Sun tasted better than the ones on the Dawn for some reason :confused:.

cruisingatdawn Posted September 16, 2009 #10 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hi I take it there is a charge for the cookie station??:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyrules Posted September 16, 2009 #11 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hi I take it there is a charge for the cookie station??:p Yes, but they're not that expensive. Sorry can't recall the price off hand.... Around $1/$1.50 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamcrzr Posted September 16, 2009 Author #12 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Yeah i think thats right - about $1.50 ea. But they are huge and very very yummy!! And now to know they also have great coffee at the same place, that might be the place for my son and I to have some catch up time together whilst onboard...

Riffraff Posted September 17, 2009 #13 Share Posted September 17, 2009 As well as the warm cookies you can also get some very nice chocolate-dipped strawberries from the Outback lounge as well! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never saw these on the Dawn...I wonder if they have them :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted September 20, 2009 #16 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I agree, please do not use that American term 'Cookies' on P&O OZ..we are Aussies, 'Warm Bikkie Station' !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamcrzr Posted September 20, 2009 Author #17 Share Posted September 20, 2009 NSWP - OMG - i call a bikkie something the size of a 50cent piece, these are called "cookies" as they are huge. They are also what my 9yo at the time called them so I just went with that. Also, i don't have a problem using an american? term. Brossy - the dawn is where my son found them (that was Jan 2008) though, from memory he says they were at La Pattiserie on plaza deck 5 and possibly Cafe del sol on lido deck. Hope you find them next time....YUMMMMMMMM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwi Posted September 21, 2009 #18 Share Posted September 21, 2009 LOL yamcrzr, I am bilingual so knew what you meant. I have seen the word cookie in shops and cafe's in Oz. If bikkie is short for the English term biscuit then wonder what cookie is short for. Call me a tightwad but I am not sure if i want to pay for any food on there if i am getting good food for free.

The_Big_M Posted September 21, 2009 #19 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Size isn't a distinction though. As an example of something in both countries (now), Oreos are about 'the size of a 50 cent piece' and an example of what Americans call a cookie, but we call a biscuit. It's just a different word for the same thing used in different countries, thus it seems odd to use the American word when we have our own for the same thing.

thied Posted September 21, 2009 #20 Share Posted September 21, 2009 this should explain what the difference between a cookie and biscuit :D http://www.foodtimeline.org/foodcookies.html http://boards.cruisecritic.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=21331882 http://books.google.com.au/books?id=OcqMeJX1zT4C&pg=PA137&lpg=PA137&dq=what+is+the+difference+between+a+cookie+and+biscuit+food&source=bl&ots=0kcZ_LytHq&sig=cBjHeVg1rPnE69rZiMF3xGLoFZ4&hl=en&ei=p2u3SqXALZvq6APds6zHCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=10# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted September 22, 2009 #21 Share Posted September 22, 2009 As per the first link which is from an American perspective "In some countries the word biscuit historically refers to a hard cookie or cracker." then again "In England a biscuit is what Americans usually call a cracker or cookie." So no difference. Same thing, different name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
