lrn2cruise Posted January 21, 2014 #51 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I would agree with some of the "foam" type desserts. It is like a bad excuse for a pudding type filling. Not my thing, but!!!!!! What is great is you can take a bite and say-YUCK and try another one!!! There were tubs on ice cream brought out in the WJ at dinner and some sort of goowy chocolate cake that came out mid-week. OMGosh:eek: My jaw just dropped and the girl bringing it out said "I know:D!!!!" There are some great desserts and bad desserts. We all know that we pay good money to get on these boats, so just enjoy!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liberiben Posted January 22, 2014 #52 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Chocolate bread pudding with hot chocolate sauce in the WJ....we made dinner out of it. It was like a chocolate lava cake,but better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4cats,1dog Posted January 22, 2014 #53 Share Posted January 22, 2014 The best dessert was on the Oasis - Red Velvet cupcake from Cupcake Cupboard. Or any other cupcake from there. Worth the extra cost. Too big to eat, great to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted January 22, 2014 #54 Share Posted January 22, 2014 The pecan (pie) squares on the Allure, where you get the Roast Beef sandwiches. MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Sea Ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea 4Ever Posted January 22, 2014 #55 Share Posted January 22, 2014 This may be the most boring dessert listed in this thread, but I really, really look forward to having orange sherbet after dinner. After eating an appetizer or two, an entree, and sides, the sherbet is light and refreshing. Love their sherbet selection!!

DrPepper41 Posted January 22, 2014 Author #56 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Another vote for Key Lime Pie - the only dessert I eat the whole cruise!! I love key lime pie....yum!!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrPepper41 Posted January 22, 2014 Author #57 Share Posted January 22, 2014 If you like cookies, I look forward to the coconut cookies the most! They usually serve them twice in the week! Oh my....I love COCONUT. I'll definitely be looking for these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazy4kruisin Posted January 22, 2014 #60 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I also find the desserts on cruises hit or miss (though Carnival has a few of the better ones). There are a couple of standouts on Royal though. The best advice I can give is to avoid most of the desserts in the dining room labelled "cake" because they rarely are (at least at dinner) - they call them cake but they often come out as some kind of cake/mousse/cream/other mixture. Most things labelled as a "Mousse" were good and many of the fruit based desserts were acceptable. Blueberry-Peach crumble: Key Lime Pie was good (not the diet version - that was a bright green fake mousse kind of thing): Ivory Chocolate mousse was very good: And from the MDR's at lunch I highly recommend sticking around for dessert because you'll find 2 of the best: Chocolate Hazelnut cake: Chocolate Raspberry tart (the raspberries are on the bottom, right above the crust): Oh My Goodness! I will have sweet dreams tonight. Thank you for posting pix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Laura Posted January 22, 2014 #61 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Sorry dear, but I was told (on my cruise on Legend in January 2014)they are no longer going to serve the Red Velvet Cake on any of RCL ships :cool::eek::mad: That is too bad. I will find something else in May to take its place!! It was pretty good. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fergusonvt Posted January 22, 2014 #62 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I'll have to try the key lime pie although DH's is hard to beat. I agree with the other posters about Carnival's warm chocolate melting cake. It was awesome but I also liked their bread pudding called Bitter and Blanc. NCL's desserts are nothing outstanding although they have a mocha brownie sundae in one of their specialty restaurants that is outstanding. Sad to hear no more red velvet cake. That got me excited.

Byron_1978 Posted January 22, 2014 #63 Share Posted January 22, 2014 It may not be the best dessert I had on RCL, but the dessert I remember the most is the Baked Alaska. It is way too heavy and way too sweet...but somehow it was spot on to match the entire dining experience. I will have it again when given the opportunity :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted January 22, 2014 #64 Share Posted January 22, 2014 It may not be the best dessert I had on RCL, but the dessert I remember the most is the Baked Alaska.... I will have it again when given the opportunity :) Remember when they used to parade it through the dining room, on fire and all? And flaming cherries jubilee at your tableside? They haven't done that for several years due to safety concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molsonschooner Posted January 22, 2014 #65 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Yes, I have seen that in the WJ, but there was definitely a sugar free Key Lime "pie", I absolutely remember this. It was garnished with a few fresh berries and it was definitely a slice of pie, not like the above dessert. Just for the record. :D;). I remember this too. It was awesome!

Trainman-2 Posted January 22, 2014 #67 Share Posted January 22, 2014 The Best Desert across the RCI Fleet is the Warm Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce and Fresh Made Whipped Cream served only in the Windjammer. Some RCI ships serve it with dinner and others during the afternoon snack time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some RCI ships serve it with dinner and others during the afternoon snack time. I have somehow never wandered into WJ during "afternoon snack time"... about when is this?? Bread pudding is one of my all-time fave desserts, and if it's as good as y'all say, I will be stalking WJ every afternoon and evening looking for it!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted January 22, 2014 #70 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I have somehow never wandered into WJ during "afternoon snack time"... about when is this?? "Afternoon Snacks" are served on most ships, except Oasis and Allure. The time is usually 3 - 5 pm, at which time they close and get ready for dinner. Yes, the bread pudding with vanilla sauce is delicious! Sometimes they have a chocolate bread pudding which I don't like as much - the plain is very good. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05mak05 Posted January 22, 2014 #72 Share Posted January 22, 2014 We used to order Chocolate Flourless Cake on the 2nd formal night. It was just as good as the Carnival Lava dessert. Then they switched it to one of 3 desserts on the "Sampler" again on lobster night. Lately we've missed it entirely and don't know if it's because we're in a speciality restaurant or if it's no longer on the menu. Does anyone know???

sellwingri Posted January 23, 2014 #73 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Remember when they used to parade it through the dining room, on fire and all? And flaming cherries jubilee at your tableside? They haven't done that for several years due to safety concerns. I really miss both of these things. Too bad they had to stop. I heard so many things about that chocolate cake on Carnival so I wa excited to finally try it. I didn't think it was anything special. You can't beat any of the soufflés on RCI.

DEIx15x8 Posted January 23, 2014 #75 Share Posted January 23, 2014 My personal favorite is the Frozen Strawberry Soufflé. Had it for lunch at the Crown & Anchor Luncheon on the Indy Transatlantic last year and loved it. So happy to find it on the new menus this year when we sailed on Grandeur in May, ordered 2! This past week though it wasn't quiet as good, a bit warm. What makes it special is that it tastes and feels like ice cream but isn't. ^Grandeur ^Independence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
