Ready to Sail! Posted March 25, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 25, 2015 We will be on the Royal in June. Since our visit to Paris last fall my new food obsession is French Macarons. Has anyone seen them in the Pastry Shop on the Royal? I am already looking forward to the Gelato but Macarons would be the icing on the cake-or I should say cookie!

Thrak Posted March 25, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 25, 2015 GAH! You are not supposed to say words like "macaroons" when I haven't eaten all day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ready to Sail! Posted March 25, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Well Thrak, I see you are from No. California also. Are you aware that Whole Foods carries Macarons in their bakeries? That's the good news. The bad news is the ones I have tried from the Davis store are not very good. If you get to Vegas, go to the Whole Foods there as their supplier is different and they are wonderful! Trader Joe's also carries them in the freezer section. Not as good as some but do satisfy the craving somewhat. I guess I will just have to do without on the Royal. Doesn't sound like there is any shortage of other wonderful pastries to indulge my sweet tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruiseprincess Posted March 25, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 25, 2015 If I recall correctly I think they did serve them one time in the dining room. They were part of an assortment distributed after dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ready to Sail! Posted March 25, 2015 Author #7 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I wish! We're on the Baltic cruise so no Paris for us this trip. Maybe I will inquire at the Pastry shop on our first visit. No harm in asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLC535 Posted March 25, 2015 #8 Share Posted March 25, 2015 If sailing from Southampton...you could always make a trip to Laduree @ Harrods and bring some with you ;);) http://www.harrods.com/content/the-store/restaurants/ladur%c3%a9e/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ready to Sail! Posted March 25, 2015 Author #9 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Thanks for the suggestion. We are spending 4 days in London post cruise. Didn't think to look for Laduree or Pierre Herme shops there. Both are wonderful although I have to say I did favor Laduree a little bit. Certainly would like to visit Harrod's so now I have the perfect reason. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonbeam Posted March 25, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 25, 2015 This is one of those items it never hurts to ask. They are NOT hard to make and can be made with common ingredients so sometimes a Pastry chef will take the opportunity to break out of routine (as they did when I somewhat jokingly adked for cherry pie when they had cherry apple - pastry chef sent one to my cabin - disclaimer, had met the pastry chef at chef's table and saw him in the buffet, prompting the comment 'no cherry pie <sniff> ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ready to Sail! Posted March 26, 2015 Author #11 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Sounds like I may have to stalk the Pastry Chef! Just checked Harrod's location and it is less than a mile from our hotel. Yahoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
