Couldn't help it........

 

The key to eating a black and white cookie, Elaine, is you want to get some black and some white in each bite. Nothing mixes better than vanilla and chocolate. And yet, still, somehow racial harmony eludes us.

Looks delicious. Can't wait to try!

Thanks for the great news. Hopefully, they will be back fleet wide.

We missed them on the Equinox in December.

So disappointed when they discontinued them......so happy they are back!

I really hope to find them on our upcoming 18 night cruise on the Solstice! Then again my waistline might be happier if they don't make an appearance 😉

[Von & John]

Thanks for the heads up... We'll be looking for them next month on the Connie!

Looooove these!!! If they don't find their way to the Equinox this Monday, I surely hope they're still on the Eclipse in December :D I wish they'd also bring back the brownies.

They look so good and I bet you can only eat just one.:)

[sammyboots]

Excited to see this!! Love the black and white cookies! Fingers crossed they have em on Constellation next month... :D

Well they may be back, but :

 

1. They are MUCH smaller than i remember them being.

 

2. They dont taste as good.

 

3. You have to purchase a drink to be able to ask for one.....drink packages dont count.

 

3. Suite passengers can have as many as they want...and they look so smug carrying their plates to Michaels Club!

 

Some, or all, of the above statements have not been "fact checked"

Sorry folks. Even though I like these cookies myself, they are a black and white in name only. A true New York (or New Jersey) black and white cookie is cakey under the icing. The cookies on Celebrity are a shortbread cookie with Black and white icing. Still glad they may be making comeback. Also, I have never seen anyone turned away for a dessert at Café al Bacio if they were not purchasing something.

I saw them on the Equinox last week.

[cruisestitch]

You do not need to buy a drink to be able to get food at al Bacio.

 

It doesn't matter if you are in a suite or not.

[tmk1941]

Not when we were on board. Looked nearly every day:')

[cruisestitch]

And when was that?

February 19 to March 5

Yes, true black and whites are cakey. Putting that aside, I've tried Celebrity's version on several ships and been very disappointed, even with my sweet tooth.

 

Please, can someone send me the real thing from Zaro's, I need a fix! ;p

Totally agree. If you know what this cookie is supposed to be like and taste like, doubtful that you would make it through a whole cookie. We didn't. Thankfully we were going to be docked in the City and got the real thing.

The Equinox Mardi Gras sailing (2/19 - 3/3) had black and white cookies on 2 different days and they were delicious. They were like they used to be...big and cake like...when we sailed on the Century. You had to be fast to get them as they made only one tray each time and they went fast!

We had the black and white cookies at the buffet on the Reflection (January 28 sailing). I only saw them one day when they had a special New York City section of the buffet. Of course I had one and it was good. I didn't see the black and white cookies at the Cafe al Bacio that week or during our 2 week sailing on the Eclipse (January 8).

I buy black and white cookies from BJ's near our house in NJ. They are smaller than the ones on Celebrity, but they are delicious - icing over a cake like cookie.
