Ken at the beach Posted October 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2014 So with all the debates about the changes to the Oasis with some of them being a touchy subject lets see how everyone rates the change from Donuts to Hotdogs. Hopefully not a lot of cotraversy on this topic and one that hopefully no one is going to cancel a cruise over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LMaxwell Posted October 13, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 13, 2014 My understanding is that donuts will be available in the AM in a self-serve kiosk across from the hotdog stand just like it is on Allure. In that regard I view this as an additional free food venue so it is an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted October 13, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I thought the donuts would still be available in something like a kiosk? Still, if I had to choose between them, I'd go for the Doghouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lauren0309 Posted October 13, 2014 #9 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hotdogs! I read they have a nice selection. With all the cakes already and dessers, why need a donut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted October 13, 2014 #10 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Tough choice, but the dogs got my vote. (Figure I can still find a donut somewhere on board). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcd2745 Posted October 13, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I think my first instinct would normally be to say donuts, but since the donuts on Oasis were pretty awful...I'll have to say Doghouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurschick Posted October 13, 2014 #18 Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) Voted for donuts. Had a dog on one of the ships where they had a dog house out by the pool. For the life of me can't remember which ship, just remember it being a huge let down. The dog was warm at best and just didn't live up to expectations. Can normally get a regular dog in windjammer if wanted. Maybe will turn out better on the big ships, who knows, but was looking forward to trying some of the famed donuts. Perhaps we will have to do our own tasting panel with the kids on the Allure Ken:D Edited October 13, 2014 by Spurschick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonV1 Posted October 13, 2014 #21 Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) In my opinion, the donuts aren't that good (neither the dough or the icing). If you only buy megamarket you might think they are ok, but if you frequent any smaller and/or independent bakeries you know that there are a lot better donuts out there. It's unfortunate because Dunkin Donuts are not mixed fresh, and yet they produce a decent donut (when compared to Royal). In general (again, in my opinion), lots of the pastries/donuts on cruise ships are kind of average. Making *fresh* good ones is time consuming and expensive (comparatively speaking). Thankfully I don't cruise for pastries.. Throw enough toppings/sauces on a hot dog and even the average ones taste ok.

beancounterbeth Posted October 13, 2014 #22 Share Posted October 13, 2014 To those of you who have had the doghouse hot dogs......are they better quality and real meat instead of the mystery meat hot dogs? I don't usually eat hotdogs because who really knows what that is. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkrosesdeb Posted October 13, 2014 #23 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I thought most of the selections were actually sausage not hot dog. We didn't try them so can't say but I thought it was more like bratwurst, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They serve hot dogs on Enchantment pool buffet, but not good Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app I think, if my memory serves me correct, it was the Mariner. They have a boardwalk hotdog house outside by the pool. It wasn't a poolside buffet but proper dog dedicated eatery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted October 13, 2014 #25 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hot dogs! I hear the dog house is pretty good. Every RCI donut Ive tried has been pretty bad. The Dog Haus has been my boarding day secret twice now. Then I go to Park Cafe for a Roast beef sandwich just before Muster when there is no boarding day line.
