WashyWashyHappyHappy95 Posted March 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I was on the 2/26 BA sailing. A major selling point for me is the bread pudding offered in the buffet. In fact it's one of the, if not the key reason I book with NCL over other lines. Usually it's the staple for the hot section of the dessert area, only occasionally displaced by a "crumble" or some other usurper. Sure enough on the first night, as I passed the soup station and the excitement built, I saw the usual bread pudding spot occupied by some godforsaken cobbler. And it REMAINED like that for the duration of the cruise, the only change coming with the cobbler's wretched innards. Peach, to blackberry, to the utterly alien "rhubab." Finally on Thursday I put a note in the hotel director's box at Guest Services asking for bread pudding. The next evening, to my great relief, a bowl of eggy, custardy, moist and gooey bread pudding appeared next to its traditional consort of caramel sauce. All seemed right with the world, and for a moment I was truly glad I booked NCL over RCI. Sadly, the next day, the black cloud of rhubard cobbler again hovered over the Garden Cafe. NCL, I know you read these boards. There are no hard feelings. Maybe the supply guys forgot to order enough bread, maybe you hired a new dessert chef with a cobbler fetish. Either way, please hear my plea, and please make sure there's more bread pudding on the April 16 sailing, which I'll be on if you drop the price low enough.

Rare ColeThornton Posted March 19, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I am so sorry that you had to go through that. Between those pesky kids playing music on their balcony next to you and no bread pudding I don't know how you survived. I would write a strongly worded letter to NCL executives using a lot of exclamation points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macandlucy Posted March 19, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I deed to you now, and in perpetuity, any rights or claims to which I may be entitled from Norwegian, or any other cruise line or dining establishment, land or sea based to that stodgy, glue-y, mushy (yet sometimes also weirdly kinda dry) despicable concoction that attempts to pass itself off as a dessert, especially when it has raisins in it. Gah! But keep ya hands off my cheesecake ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlagged787 Posted March 19, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 19, 2017 When I read the OP I thought, seriously? Is this guy for real? Then I realised who it was. Enough said. Now where is that ignore button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauer-kraut Posted March 19, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I have to agree that Bread Pudding was the only dessert that I really liked on NCL, and in the real world I don't even really care for it. That was indeed NCL's truly famous dessert, as opposed to all the other crappy jello-y based (but exceedingly pretty) standard desserts. Had chocolate bread pudding on the SUN and was truly delighted by the taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Hag Posted March 19, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 19, 2017 While I agree with the OP on my love for bread pudding, the OP's hatred of rhubarb is where I part company. Love rhubarb, and I'll take your share of it any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanger727 Posted March 19, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I do enjoy bread pudding. We had a similar experience on our last NCL cruise where the hot dessert was a rotation of various cobblers but they did work in bread pudding once or twice. That being said, it was terrible - much too eggy. I did miss my cruise dessert staple of creme brûlée however; it was only in the MDR a couple times and they ruined it with terrible flavors like pistachio [emoji35] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macandlucy Posted March 20, 2017 #15 Share Posted March 20, 2017 From where I sit, it seems like the OP likes his bread pudding and found a humorous way to tell NCL that he wants more. That's all. Time to flick on the humor detectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perditax Posted March 21, 2017 #20 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Yep, you got me. I'm one of those people who misses Flamingo Grill terribly. I'm not one of those people who just wants to shovel in the food and drink all cruise long, but I did love FG to bits and whined a lot about it being turned into a crappy fee chain. And I really loved the bread pudding in the buffet on my last few cruises, to the point I was thinking "well, they'll take this away soon too". Well played.
