NJGIRL1019 Posted November 1, 2009 #77 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I've had the pleasure recently to taste one of those delicious cupcakes from Magnolia bakery, Yum Yum. There is a reason why the line is out the door everyday! IMO it's worth a couple of extra $$. And....I generally don't like cupcakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisenLexie Posted November 1, 2009 #80 Share Posted November 1, 2009 First, I comletely understand the OP's opinion and wish people would stop jumping all over people because they express one. Someone has carmel/chocolate/decorated covered apples and I think it is Princess and they charge for them so I am not surprised that RCI will charge for fancy cupcakes. If they are made on the ship I doubt I will try them as most cruise line deserts (regardless of the line) look beautiful but 90% of the time do not taste as good as they look. It alwasy seems to be the simple cookie or soft ice cream/yogurt that are the best unless we are talking baked alaska on Princess where they use marshmallow for the topping. We were in NY and finally went to Magnolias. My mother liked her carrot cupcake and my chocolate with vanilla buttercream frosting was dry and disappointing. However, the magic bars were EXCELLENT. For my money I will wait till I get home to have a cupcake from my favorite bakery Christines or Chef Leslies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisenLexie Posted November 3, 2009 #85 Share Posted November 3, 2009 These are worth at least $6 a piece :eek:;):p Here are the cupcakes, I found the picture here. :Dhttp://www.cruisecritic.com/articles.cfm?ID=998 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipLondon Posted November 3, 2009 #86 Share Posted November 3, 2009 But hold on you could put a picture of a Gin and Tonic here and ask the same question, some people would say Yes and others No, but NOBODY is forcing ANYONE to buy either, so what is all the fuss about.:D These are worth at least $6 a piece :eek:;):p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigtex1622 Posted November 3, 2009 #87 Share Posted November 3, 2009 My problem buddy is look at those delectable cupcakes. It is not fair that they are only on Oasis! I too want to buy some on my Voyager trip, especially the vanilla ones in front. I would go as high as $20 for one of them puppies! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasscruising Posted November 3, 2009 #88 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Just found these on facebook from RCCL.:) I would definitely pay for these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiggyKeys Posted November 3, 2009 #89 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Well, if this cupcake thingy wounds up a bust (which I doubt) RCI will know soon enough. Then they could turn it into a fancy popcorn outlet. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That picture was a joke...those are plain old cupcakes...not the fancy ones they are going to sell. They can sell them or not sell them and they can name their price. I don't care what they do and that is the end of this thread for me. Enjoy your cupcakes :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted November 4, 2009 #92 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Why do you need to be sorry??????????? It was quite humorous given the cantankerous nature of the "holier than thou attitude" this thread has! Who is being "holier than thou"? The folks who can't wait to try one of the fancy cupcakes (such as myself) or the ones who find the very notion ridiculous?

Really? It's quite simple, don't pay for anything you don't want to. I am really leaving too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezlesgirl Posted November 4, 2009 #94 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I love to bake and want to own a bakery one day, so, not only will I pay for the decorating classes, I will probably pay for multiple cupcakes. That is what makes cruising such a great vacation. They don't cater to only one group of peoples interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiPlainsCruiser Posted November 4, 2009 #95 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Those places in New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Austin actually charge for their specialty items! OMG, the next thing you know, RCCL will be charging for those tacky mugs and tee shirts in all the shops. Cupcakers, lighten up. Enjoy the cruise and if you don't want to pay for a specialty item like a cupcake, just don't buy one. That will show them and they will convert the space to a mug and tee shirt store.

CanuckMO4 Posted November 4, 2009 #97 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Just found these on facebook from RCCL.:) I would definitely pay for these. I might be wrong but I believe these are the cupcakes they are talking about paying for.They really are a work of art.I dont want to purchase one but look forward to looking at them.As a florist I can see the work that goes into them.I fully suspect you will be able to have a 6 for 99cent cupcake for free.

WeLuvVacation Posted November 5, 2009 #98 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Who is being "holier than thou"? The folks who can't wait to try one of the fancy cupcakes (such as myself) or the ones who find the very notion ridiculous? By the way, I did find the photo of the tray of wilted cupcakes funny.:D The ones who keep whining and crying over this and any other "for pay" subject. Like they are being cheated out of something. You are ON VACATION YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE FUN!!!!! How can you have any fun if you are complaining about pay cupcakes or pay dinners or pay roller coaster rides, etc. These are all things they did not have before so how can you feel cheated? Anyone who is just out to have a good time and limits complaints to something worth complaining about (ie ship sank, cruise cut short no refund or other major problem) can not be "holier than thou."

mark13 Posted November 5, 2009 #99 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Pay for them if you want one quit whining. People on carnival pay 18 bucks for a drink in a coconut monkeyhead and guess what they sell a ton of them anyway so people like you dont make a difference to them quit being a tightwad and spend a buck or two on the cruise or better yet sneak a cupcake on with you in your underwear and eat it at the cupcake shop!
