YUMMMM

 

my DH ordered the old one on a cruise a few years ago and didn't eat it.. it was a melted mess by the time it arrived. That new one looks perfect!!!

Something that I've always wanted to try!

That does look good :)

 

I made it years ago in Home Economics, and honestly that was better than the few "professional" ones I've had since. I found the science of it cool (yep, a bit of a nerd) how the merengue insulated it all and the ice cream didn't melt. On my last Princess cruise I had a merengue cookie that was just as good, but the actual Baked Alaska was disappointing. Hopefully this will be better - at least I'd enjoy the berries!

Do they have a set day on a cruise to serve this? Is it a formal night dessert? Looks lovely

This was served on the last night of the cruise on a six day cruise.

All kidding aside, the only time we had this was on our Destiny cruise with our girls back in 2006. Since it was mostly a locals Puerto Rican cruise, the MDR was relatively empty most nights. Don't ask me why, but I think the locals tended to eat at the buffet rather than the MDR. As a result, our waiter and assistant waiter spent a lot of time doting on our two girls.

 

Baked Alaska was on the menu one night and the waiters asked our daughters if they would like some for desert. They said 'yes' and then brought the entire Baked Alaska out to them. Got everyone's attention! (They cut them their own piece)

 

Needless to say great MDR experience and I remember that moment every time Baked Alaska is on any menu.

Yes, I believe so. I remember John Heald wrote a post about that on his FB page about the new Baked Alaska awhile ago. I had forgotten about it until it was served to me. :)
