Kamloops50 Posted August 15, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 15, 2013 If you have eaten any of the sugar-free desserts on the Princess ships, what would you recommend that I try out? At the IC (International Cafe), do they have any sugar-free items there also? The IC had some sugar free deserts but not a great choice. The MDR and HC had better choices for sugar free and gluten free as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timetravler Posted August 15, 2013 #3 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I have often eaten them in the MDR and late night in the Buffett. They were always great. Never tried them in the IC though. But remember they are still high on calories. Ya just can't win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GweninTX Posted August 15, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 15, 2013 They have one on the menu each night in the MDR and they are hit and miss! The one thing we found out after 6 cruises we did not know - is that the ice cream shop that serves soft serve cones on the same deck as the HC also has a sugar free, hard packed scoopable flavor every day and they were ALWAYS excellent! No charge and enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janny444 Posted August 15, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I always have the sugar free "goodies" in the buffet and fortunately I don't have any health issues..they are delicious and not quite as "stodgy" as the "normal" selection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKman2495 Posted August 15, 2013 #6 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I do eat sugar free (I'm Diabetic) and have tried a lot of them on board in both the HC and the MDR. I find that they are quite good. They also have a nice variety so you are not stuck eating the same sugar free stuff all the time. As for anything specific. it is hard to say as they mix things up. By my favorite sugar free dessert was a "hazelnut pumpkin pudding with 5 spice sauce". That was to die for. If you see it, you have to try it.

I don't remember seeing that one on the menu, but will certainly give it a try on the next cruise when I see it. Are the sugar free in the HC labeled as such?:) I guess I just have not paid as much attention as I should, but then I am on Holiday and so is my brain when I'm cruising.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HC had SF on them and so did IC. While I loved the SF chocolate mousse cake , the SF chocolate tapioca was awful to my taste. I sometimes order berries and they put a scoop of SF ice cream in a small dish next to it. Sali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UT-Volsfan Posted August 16, 2013 #10 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I also recommend the sugar free chocolate mousse cake very much. Also love the sugar free strawberry shortcake they've got up in Horizon Court some days. While I enjoy most of the sugar free desserts in the dining rooms, I have to agree with the previous opinion about the sugar free chocolate tapioca being pretty bad. Besides the sugar free desserts in the dining room for lunch and dinner that are on the menu, you can also request sugar free ice cream any time you are in there (usually it's either chocolate or vanilla). Sometimes I get that to go with some of the SF cakes and other desserts, and other nights I just order that in place of desserts such as the chocolate tapioca. If you decide to do the Chef's Table, let them know at the interview when they ask about food allergies that you're a diabetic. The Pastry Chef will bring out a very good SF dessert for you to eat for the last course at the Chef's Table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Di Princess Posted August 16, 2013 #12 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Besides counting calories, I also count carbs. The waitstaff should be able to tell us the numbers. I am not diabetic, just trying to lose 40 more pounds. Thanks for the advice on good and bad choices. Love Chocolate (my Downfall). :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Chick Posted August 16, 2013 #13 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I love that the desserts that are gf and sugar free are labelled in the HC, even if I don't have to avoid gluten or sugar (even though it's good if I can). And they're often pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beshears Posted August 21, 2013 Author #14 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Thank you for letting me know where I can get the sugar-free desserts. Once we get our bearings on the ship, I'll try to check out these places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I jokingly tell my wife if you eat a sugar free and then a fat free desert you likely have consumed the same amount of sugar and fat as 2 regular deserts .

It was a regular menu item in the MDR. The MDR menus often have sugar free choices. As others have said, the HC has SF desserts in a labeled section.

caribill Posted August 22, 2013 #17 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) The MDR menus often have sugar free choices. Not often, but actually every day. Edited August 22, 2013 by caribill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsqrl Posted August 22, 2013 #18 Share Posted August 22, 2013 The cappucino torte/cake in the HC -- it was one of my best desserts all cruise. Only saw it once, though, so look sharp! I'm very fond of the sugar-free selections on Princess, even though I have no dietary restrictions governing my dessert choices (well, except for an intense aversion to raisins -- I. will. not. touch. anything. with. raisins.)

caribill Posted August 22, 2013 #20 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I have found that often the sugarfree desserts in the MDR taste better than the sugar filled equivalents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holomoku Posted August 22, 2013 #21 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Not often, but actually every day. I do remember seeing it on the MDR menu each day, but only one was listed as I recall. I tried a couple and they were ok, so now I will make a list and be sure to order those mentioned above and the one recommended in the HC. Too bad my next Princess cruise is still 222 days away.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
