I was looking for it on our cruise on Dec. 15 on the Breeze... they didn't offer it :( I wanted to try it! We settled for the warm chocolate melting cake instead!

Lucky you! 3 females making you a tasty dessert while you relax. You are a smart man. Be sure to compliment profusely!

3 Carnival cruises in, and I never made it a point to try it. Now, I'm out of luck because I can't prep/cook/bake worth a darn. If they ever pulled the melting cake, I'd probably stop going to the MDR altogether.

Thanks much and ENJOY!!!!
