Dreaming about dessert.

[mymirabella]

What are the must tries for my upcoming cruise(freedom of the seas)? I'm on a strict diet up to my cruise but when I travel anything goes and I like to try everything. We will only try things that are included in the original price no specialty dining. What are your favorite desserts? also favorite soups,apps,meals... And where are they located if you remember.

MDR: Key Lime Pie, Rosemary Lamb Shank.

 

Giovanni's: Risotto.

[sg1phileshipper]

My favorite is cheesecake, frozen yoghurt and triple chocolate chip cookies. Basically, I would try anything with chocolate :). Have a great cruise

I will be one of the few in a minority.

 

I usually only splurge on the cake pops on the promenade, and will hit the soft serve ice cream machines on pool deck.

 

At dinner I attempt to avoid the extra calories (some times I succeed), other times I will have a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

 

Yup, some of the offered desserts do nothing for me.

 

DH loves the Key lime pie and cheese cake.

 

Enjoy

Not a fan of all the mushy desserts that are served. I did enjoy the vanilla bean ice cream w/a warm chocolate chip cookie in the MDR. The strawberry-kiwi pavlova was good too.

I agree with you regarding key lime pie and Giovanni's risotto.

 

I am usually a fan of the lamb shank but been disappointed twice on Royal Caribbean cruises. On the Anthem, it was undercooked - didn't fall off the bone, in fact meat was stuck to the bone. Did tell the waiter but not sure feedback reached the kitchen. On the Oasis, properly cooked but lacked flavour. Was very disappointing on both occasions. Perhaps I was just unlucky.

I have also recently encountered the lamb shank that was rather dry and not as good as I've had in the past. I'm hoping it was an anomoly, because that was one of the MDR meals I enjoyed the most. I have found that the lamb shank is usually served in Windjammer that same night as in the MDR, and at least in Windjammer you can have a choice.

I had a good lamb shank on our recent (Jan. 2016) Vision cruise, though it seemed smaller than I remembered--maybe it was just my imagination.

 

There are very few desserts I bother with anymore, because to me they are simply not worth it. Particularly with the layered cakes/tortes and mousse-type desserts, they are flavorless and rubbery or otherwise off in texture. Some of the fruit desserts are okay, and the key lime pie is pretty much the same as always. There are a couple of lunch desserts that are better than the dinner menu desserts, like the raspberry ganache tart and the gianduja cake.

 

Some of the ice cream and sherbet offerings are good. In particular, the pineapple sherbet was excellent--good flavor and not overly sweet.

OP...another option for desserts is ask for the kids menu. I do and we don't have kids. There are a few desserts on that menu that are excellent that you won't find on the MDR dessert menu.

For soups, I love the strawberry bisque. Dessert the key lime pie is great and I really like the sticky bread and butter pudding

[Silvery Seas Cruiser]

On recent cruises on Independence and Allure, I was hopeless in the presence of the apple crisp and the cherry crisp, both served with vanilla sauce. I have absolutely no business eating these concoctions. but couldn't resist.

[pjnj40]

Yoo bad you are not on anthem. I love the american icon candy bar.

[keishashadow]

I classify the frozen adult beverages as dessert:D

[Cjess86]

Blueberry peach crumble on mojo menu I believe.......ask for two scoops of vanilla [emoji6]

[Kimmy0303]

Chocolate Praline Bar on lunch menu in MDR. I LOVED it, but couldn't find it anywhere else. It was on the Tuesday and Friday menu, if I remember correctly.

[Sparky74]

A chocolate breakfast if usually offered in the MDR once a week. Check with your waiter what day it is going to be. Dessert for breakfast, anyone?:D
