WS80 Posted August 1, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) We're are the Infinity now and having a great time! One thing I noticed: desserts in Blu are always the same as in MDR. Has this always been the case? Edited August 1, 2014 by WS80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photo_Traveler Posted August 1, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 1, 2014 We were on Infinity in April. Deserts did not change. Apple pie ala mode always finished my MDR meal. Mike Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandeegirl Posted August 1, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Is crème brulee available in Blu? That's always been my favorite. We'll be in Blu on the Equinox in just 25 days and I'd love to have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaKa2002 Posted August 1, 2014 #8 Share Posted August 1, 2014 In Blu, if you don't see something on the menu, ask about it. Amazing what they may come up with if you let them know your desires - whether appetizer, main dish or desserts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeybearhollow Posted August 1, 2014 #9 Share Posted August 1, 2014 When Blu first began, they were trying to keep the desserts "healthy" and they were disappointing. Many of us complained. We had to request Crème Brule to be brought from the main dining room. I noticed on my last cruise in Blu, the desserts were much better. Sounds like they have given up, realizing cruisers will only go so far in their quest for "healthier" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miched Posted August 1, 2014 #10 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Always found the deserts in the coffee cafe to be better. Most ties we would leave Blu without having their desert and stop on the coffee shop for a good coffee and a few sweets. Never liked that the coffee was served way after the desert. When in Blu or the MDR if you want coffee with your desert be sure to order it as soon as you place your main order, if you order it when ordering desert you will sit there a long time after the desert is served before getting it.

chamima Posted August 1, 2014 #11 Share Posted August 1, 2014 We're are the Infinity now and having a great time!One thing I noticed: desserts in Blu are always the same as in MDR. Has this always been the case? No, it hasn't. It wasn't even the case last February on the Eclipse. This would definitely be a change for the better (for everything except my waistline ;) ) . I hope it's fleet wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJW Posted August 1, 2014 #12 Share Posted August 1, 2014 We were in Blu on the Silhouette in April and the server confirmed that the deserts were the same as the MDR only difference was a smaller portion (healthy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why , when you can't decide which one to have, your waiter will probably say " I'll bring all of them " :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txflood33 Posted August 1, 2014 #14 Share Posted August 1, 2014 so since everyone says 'just ask'...can I get bananas foster on Reflection? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Frances Posted August 1, 2014 #16 Share Posted August 1, 2014 .

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 That's another reason we much prefer traditional dining. We never had to ask for coffee or tea. Our wonderful waiters knew who wanted reg and who wanted decaf and that our friends wanted mint tea. It was automatically served with dessert. Also the sommelier knew that we all wanted our first glass of wine while we were perusing the menu so he/she watched our table and came as soon as we were seated. Claudia on the Eclipse and Alexandria on the Millie are the best:) Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaudiaB Posted August 2, 2014 #19 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Ooooh, Sanjay!! For three cruises I just looked at the regular chocolate cake on Blu's dessert menu. Figured it was just eh like so many Celebrity desserts which look better than they taste. Oh so wrong! It's rich very moist cake with a true buttercream and wonderful ganache frosting. Oh my gosh! Only dessert on the ship I like better is the panna cotta in Tuscan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WS80 Posted August 2, 2014 Author #21 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Looks like the chef was right :-) he told us they changed desserts because everyone kept asking for the ones from the MDR. No problems with coffee btw. We always get a (really good) espresso with our dessert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
