madforcruising Posted April 17, 2005 #7 Share Posted April 17, 2005 didn't it used to be free. Oh well 8 bucks isnt that bad. I think this is different from the one that used to be free. However they no longer bring you a free cake in the dining room for special occasions. They got rid of this a year or so ago because too many people abused it. People told the waiters they had birthday or anniversary or whatever although nothing of this was true just to get the free cake. Of course the waiters brought it and of course they knew that it was for no reason. I remember one cruise when some of my tablemates made a joke of it and tried to order it for a non existing birthday of one of us. The waiter knew it exactly and made it a joke himself and he wrote on the cake Happy no event to ...... They also came to the table and sang "Happy no event to you". It was quite funny. However I can see that such things made RCCL to eliminate it. My observation is that since this was done there is much less singing in the Dining Room every evening.

I think the biggest plus to this is the much less singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricko1 Posted April 17, 2005 #9 Share Posted April 17, 2005 we have had both the chocolate one and the vanilla. Now I love chocolate but that cake was just too rich, but good. I like the vanilla cake better. It's well worth the $8 whichever cake you choose. I believe it will serve 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3redheads Posted April 17, 2005 Author #10 Share Posted April 17, 2005 We also ordered the decorations for the cabin. My DD is going to be a teenager! Boo Hoo!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bug18 Posted April 17, 2005 #11 Share Posted April 17, 2005 The cake is definitely different and a lot better than the cake they used to give you for free. We also had the decorations for my nieces 16th birthday and she was thrilled. They were a big hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
