innlady1 Posted August 7, 2014 #26 Share Posted August 7, 2014 A-hem. I'm lactose intolerant. If there's going to be ice cream, I hope HAL provides a choice that meets my dietary needs ;) Well, I need gluten free pie crust...can they ante up?

sppunk Posted August 7, 2014 #28 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) #25: we never get offered apple pie. We always are in the biggest suite and never even see apple pie. Edited August 7, 2014 by sppunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakepatrol Posted August 7, 2014 #29 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Fun thread, Kazu! Seems we've been too serious lately. :( 1 of 4 - your comment on the chocolate diamonds touched a nerve with me -- how innocent questions end up stirring all kinds of negativity. Goes like this: OP: My TA told me HAL is going to place freshly baked apple pies in all the staterooms on embarkation day. Has anyone else heard about this? Poster #2: What kind of apples? #3: I am allergic to apples. I don't want the pie in my room. #4: Are they going to give us plates and a pie slicer? #5: We'll need forks too. #6: Oh, I am so tired of hearing about allergies. Get a life. #7: I am diabetic and I can't eat pie. I might see if I can get OBC instead. #8: I wish it were chocolate pie. #9: Who is your TA? My TA didn't say anything about pie. #10: Allergies are serious. I have an allergy to peanuts. #11: Good thing it's not peanut butter pie then. #12: I suppose this means prices are going to go up. #13: Do suite guests get a better kind of pie? #14: What kind of apple pie - Dutch apple pie? This is too vague. #15: Can't wait to enjoy it on the balcony while I smoke. #16: If you're smoking on the balcony, I'll have to eat my pie in my room. #!7: Not another smoking thread. #18: The smell of apple pie bothers me. #19: The OP has only 125 posts. Methinks it is a troll. #20: I just talked to HAL customer service and was told it's a cherry pie. :D:D:D:D:D This is every thread on cruise critic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda&Vern Posted August 7, 2014 #31 Share Posted August 7, 2014 DH must have his apple pie warm, with a slab of cheddar cheese on top of it. I, on the other hand, will only eat my pie if it is cold. :rolleyes: Do you think HAL can accommodate us or should we look at a more upscale cruise line? We paid a lot of money for our Neptune Suite and I think we deserve individual special request pies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OVgirl Posted August 7, 2014 #32 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Love this discussion and having a good laugh at ourselves. Perhaps we should all make a pact, that the next time a thread starts to get ugly, mean and out of hand, one of us should post a link back to this thread as a reminder. Sometimes we just have to lighten up. As others have repeated many times before..."it's a cruise!! Lets just enjoy it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Belle Posted August 7, 2014 #34 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) Will the apple pie be on my pillow instead of that fake chocolate that replaced the good chocolate when I come into my stateroom in the evening? I sure hope so, but I really would like mine with ice cream which would melt if I go to the piano bar at 9:00. Lordy...this is such a dilemma. Guess I'd better have another martini and think it over! Thanks for the laughs tonight!:D Edited August 7, 2014 by Sea Belle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted August 7, 2014 #35 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Inside cabins just get apple sauce and a cookie. :( NOT FAIR!!! Since as a solo I have to pay double, I should get two pieces of pie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapper1 Posted August 7, 2014 #36 Share Posted August 7, 2014 My husband prefers my scratch apple pie to commercially prepared pies. Do you think I could get an OBC if I brought my own pie? I could bring a second pie for the cabin steward in place of a tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too funny to read just before bed...the only thing I could add is #21: I can't stand the smell of apples so only people on the port side get apple pie, the starboard side gets gluten free lemon meringue on paper plates Oh My I'm laughing so much & now I'm hungry! Going into the kitchen to get a slice of "Blueberry pie with Ice cream & whipped cream".. Hope HAL makes this for me on our next cruise! Kazu thanks for the fun thread.. I know I'm one to get carried away, especially when I believe someone posts misinformation! (sp?) It's the school teacher in me that comes out even though I was never a school teacher..:o Wish I could be more like you Kazu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisemom42 Posted August 7, 2014 #48 Share Posted August 7, 2014 You newbies have no idea. When I first started cruising, the apple pies were twice as good and everyone dressed formally to eat them. Cruising ain't what it used to be. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
