It was his birthday, so his dad asked our waiter if his son could get a Wonka Pie for dessert on his birthday. The smile on his face lit up the dining room as our waiter brought out his birthday treat. The waiters and chefs will do whatever they can to make you happy, such as on this special occasion. That's a great photo of the nephew, still don't know what the pie looks like. It's beginning to feel like you guys made it up to see who was gullible enough to believe this existed. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see by the link I shared, this is not something I am imagining. My family were discussing them today during a web call and wondering if they still existed. We will be on the Freedom on them13th. I’ll make a note to ask about it and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And @matj2000 will be pleased to see that it's listed as "included" instead of "free"! LOL) From the link: CAFÉ PROMENADE Included - Café Deli Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner CAFÉ ALL DAY When it comes to quick and easy come-and-go eats, there’s no better place than Café Promenade. This casual, complimentary hotspot bustles 24 hours a day, so you can drop by any time — whether it’s for a steaming cup of coffee and a warm glazed cinnamon bun in the morning, or late-night bites like fried artichoke, spicy marinated cheese, and savory meatballs from behind the counter after working up an appetite on the dance floor. ATTIRE Casual MENU HIGHLIGHTS If you’re looking for a satisfying way to start your day, pair a cup of rich Royal Roast with a flaky croissandwich — stuffed with deli meats and crisp lettuce — or your favorite breakfast pastry. At lunchtime, it’s all about the flavorful chicken roti wrap and the New Orleans-style muffuletta, piled high with cold cuts and cheese. If you love a good antipasti platter, try the prosciutto with melon combo, or the pesto-grilled tomato. And if you have a sweet tooth, the decadent Mudcakes, creamy Willy Wonka pies, and fluffy round Led Zeppoles will make you come back for seconds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfguyxxx Posted September 6, 2021 #34 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Gotta say, I've never heard of them either but....you can bet I'll be keeping my eyes out on my next 2 voyages. Probably a bit too sweet for my liking but I'll give it a try none the less. 🤗 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matj2000 Posted September 6, 2021 #36 Share Posted September 6, 2021 On my many RC cruises I have never seen nor heard of Wonka pies. From the photos it looks like those frozen ones from grocery store. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's beginning to feel like you guys made it up to see who was gullible enough to believe this existed. 🙂 I remember seeing Wonka pies on cruises for a few years. They were often available in Cafe Promenade, but also available in the Windjammer. Never in the MDR. I cannot help you with a photo of the Wonka pie, but they are not like the ever elusive rainbow unicorn, they do (or did) exist. We found that a lot of times the chefs working for RCCL have been there for years and they are happy to pull out an old recipe card for you to make some of these items that are no longer on the menu (for example, the cold soups that we get served every night to us in the MDR even though they are not on the menu) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I asked in the MDR I was hoping they would offer to make one for me since I have never tried them. They didn’t offer so I didn’t ask them to.

Over the years so many of RCI's desert's have lost their taste...too many gelatin based and their more about the look rather than taste. Figures they would get rid of something that was rather plain looking but tasted so good. I have found very few really good tasting desert's now on RCI.....Celebrity WOW very impressed when I sailed last on Eclipse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
