Daniel A Posted January 24, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I am sailing in 9 days. (Yaaayyy!!) I recall seeing some posts about a year ago where posters raved about a fabulous dessert you can order that is generally not on the dessert menu but may be on a kids menu. It might be something named like a volcano. When I first read about it I decided I wanted to try it at least once on my next cruise. Can you help?

Steelers36 Posted January 24, 2020 #2 Share Posted January 24, 2020 It's an ice cream sundae. My friend, @Lucky TGO, loves those and he just might post a picture here if he has time before flying down for his cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowskier Posted January 24, 2020 #3 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Two weeks ago on the Royal I asked for Volcano and was informed it has been removed from the kids menu. If I really wanted one it they would probably make it but I had no desire to be "special" so ordered the Banana Split which they now have on the kids menu as a replacement.

franktown Posted January 24, 2020 #4 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Yes. It's called the Volcano. Only on the kids menu but anyone can order one. If you use the search function you will find many posts about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaBag Posted January 24, 2020 #5 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Aww. We don't sail on Princess till next March and I was looking forward to ordering this! Not that I need it, you understand, but it looked so delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseVA Posted January 24, 2020 #7 Share Posted January 24, 2020 From the posts I've seen it sounded very similar to a banana split. I'll give it a shot as the Volcano. See you onboard Daniel! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give it a shot as the Volcano. See you onboard Daniel! Definitely called the Volcano. It's a bit on the large side. When I ordered it the wait person got a huge grin. The presentation varies depending on who prepares it. Here are a couple of examples. (Mine didn't look like either of these.)

CruiseVA Posted January 24, 2020 #9 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Looks like a banana, strawberries, vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, almonds & whip cream? Sensory overload? I'm getting one, but, due to self imposed (and enforced by DW) dietary restrictions, I'll only get to have a bite or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generichandle Posted January 24, 2020 #10 Share Posted January 24, 2020 BTW, if you ask for this, or about anything they put together, they WILL get it for you. Princess is, justifiably, proud of their service, and will go out of their way to produce special requests if possible. In fact, I know someone who asked for a dish they do make, but was not on menu that entire cruise. The said "come back here tomorrow" and it was there!

Daniel A Posted January 24, 2020 Author #11 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Thanks to everybody! It looks like there is a Volcano (or two..) in my future. Thrak: Outstanding photos! My Volcano won't look so pretty after I get a hold of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jondfk Posted January 24, 2020 #12 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Counting the days . . . we board Grand in 28 days. A volcano is sure to follow on the first sea day, we generally order for lunch. It's definitely something that needs to be shared - even together we rarely get through more than half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Volcano won't look so pretty after I get a hold of it. Not actually my photos. I took them from another thread here on CC just to Illustrate a couple of presentations of the Volcano. I didn't take a pic of the one I had. (Heck, I didn't even own a smart phone at that time.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenosha Cruiser Posted January 25, 2020 #14 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I ordered it once several years ago on the Sapphire Princess. Ordered it from the kids menu, it was called the "Love Boat Volcano" back then. Here's a picture of the kids menu I took.

Thrak Posted January 25, 2020 #15 Share Posted January 25, 2020 People also order the chicken fingers and the spaghetti with meat balls from the children's menu. I've been told they are full-sized orders and quite tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted January 25, 2020 #16 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Here's a more recent children's menu. It's now called a banana sundae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercifully. RIP Volcano. Based on posts here, I tried the volcano once. Huge bowl of ice cream of a quality that would be rejected by the gourmands at a five year old's birthday party. I would certainly not eat it for flavor or enjoyment, I guess quantity is the appeal. Simply buy this at your local walmart, and eat until nauseated. Save the price of the cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our last cruise last year you just had to ask tor it. Howard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
