golfadj Posted December 29, 2013 #126 Share Posted December 29, 2013 With the new menus wonder how it will affect desserts on lido especially in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WetToes Posted December 29, 2013 #127 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I guess the only thing we can be sure of is that they won't be any worse, or any more tasteless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were told the new playlist productions would be brilliant and most people have been saying they were much worse than the old style productions.

seasidehuny Posted December 29, 2013 #129 Share Posted December 29, 2013 MDR deserts were all good and portions were small enough not to worry too much about carbs. I really love the bitter and blanc bread pudding thingy. On embarkation, we had some apple thingy from the lido buffet that was really good, especially with the soft serve ice cream. I think that was the only day they had that desert. We did not partake of any other deserts on the buffet. Room service cheesecake was delicious.

mainescout Posted December 29, 2013 #130 Share Posted December 29, 2013 They seem ok at best. Even when they do the chocolate celebration there is not much flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzinlisa Posted December 30, 2013 #131 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I wasn't impressed with the chocolate buffet either. I didn't get anything bc to me it didn't even look good. But it looked lovely if that makes sense. Unlike the others I really liked the cheesecake from the steakhouse but I love all different kinds of cheesecake. I wasn't thrilled about wcmc I am sure at one time in my life I would've been. Just not too much of a sweet eater any longer for some reason. Give me sour or savory. I thought the steakhouse cheesecake was good also. But I don't like CHEESECAKE in the traditional sense (like new York cheese cake). I like light, fluffy cheesecakes and actually like jello no bake cheesecake. I agree the desserts on the buffet were nothing to write home about. Most days I skipped it. But my cruise rule is only one dessert a day (usually) and I save that for dinner. Might have to try the cookies. I had the ones from room service and I thought they tasted like chips ahoy to me. :D Decent, but not worth the calories. hopefully the ones on the buffet are better.

ViolaSwamp Posted December 30, 2013 #132 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Agreed. They look nice but are mostly tasteless. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2kids00 Posted December 30, 2013 #135 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I asked John Heald for the recipe for the chocolate chip cookies. He said they are not made on the ship. And that's the reason they taste soooooo good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseAwesome Posted December 30, 2013 #136 Share Posted December 30, 2013 And that's the reason they taste soooooo good! I knew they tasted a bit like a Famous Amos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deetrayn Posted December 30, 2013 #138 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Has anybody else noticed this? They look great, but, are tasteless. Am I grabbing the wrong desserts from the buffet? Is this just a European (or somewhere else) thing? Maybe I eat way too many Milky Ways...lol. Yes, I have noticed this especially with the desserts at chocolate buffet. I do like the chocolate chip cookies from the buffet during lunch time. They are tasty. Dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzdisneymom Posted December 30, 2013 #140 Share Posted December 30, 2013 We are just off the Dream and thought the same thing about the desserts - we like the Warm Chocolate Melting Cake in the dining room and the ice cream from the Gathering - but other than that, we never found another dessert we liked - EXCEPT the creme brulee our table mates special ordered for the last night (and generously ordered enough for all of us). We were seriously disappointed in the chocolate buffet at lunch on the last sea day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many candy companies and low end confectioners are using "mock"olate now, that it wouldn't be surprising. There is a clear taste difference and it's not a good one. If you need a chocolate fix, just order the the cake from room service. Mmm mmm good! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccruisequeen Posted December 31, 2013 #145 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Where do I find the choc chip cookies??? Or room service. I order a plate the first night, then place the rest in baggies for the rest of the cruise. I also like the chocolate cover strawberries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Terre Posted January 1, 2014 #149 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I have never liked the desserts on any ship except for a couple in the MDR. They never taste as good as they look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halos Posted January 1, 2014 #150 Share Posted January 1, 2014 The cheesecake just isn't cheesecake... Even the office-building-sized one they serve in the steakhouses. . It's not NY cheesecake. It's Italian cheesecake and contains ricotta, which is much lighter than cream cheese. I like it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
