dgoz Posted June 8, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 8, 2022 All of the desserts on the Le Petit Chef menus seem kind of lame (especially for the price of the experience). I know it is possible to pick a dessert off the alternate menu, but has anyone tried to get one of the MDR desserts instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never asked, posting to let you know if it's a "no" you can call room service during MDR dinner hours and have MDR items including desserts delivered for free 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bama4cruisin Posted June 8, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 8, 2022 When desserts in the MDR don’t entice me, I stop by Cafe al Bacio😉. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Stag Posted June 8, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 8, 2022 If the desserts offered don't meet you need, I suggest a drive by of the buffet after dinner. We normally always stop by at some point following dinner for later night dessert treat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ladylemondrop Posted June 8, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Don’t let the dessert choice put you off, this was a really fun experience and worth giving a try! We enjoyed it so much more than we thought we would. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been once I wouldn’t go back, where I’ve never felt that way about the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like many of the desserts in MDR except for creme Brule but can't eat it every night. I usually opt for Cafe el bacio as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. B. Posted June 11, 2022 #9 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I’m a big fan of Le Petit Chef and on long cruises have done it Twice. they have 3 different Videos and they change them every few days. I’m fascinated by the technology and the storyline and the humor. As an added treat on most sailings there is a night where Both Lobster And Filet are served together so inquire before booking if that’s something you find tasty. the price is discounted if you book Precruise for a multi night dining package.

Rare PinkSandGirl Posted June 12, 2022 #10 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) I have to say, before going, the desserts didn't seem very impressive. We saw Le Petit Chef with the Extraordinaire Menu. (Ordered between that and the alternate menu) For dessert, it was either the sundae or sorbet. After eating the meal, we were all full so the dessert choices were fine. I had the sorbet which was mango and it was a perfect way to end the meal, nice and light. We did enjoy the food and show. 🍹 Edited June 12, 2022 by PinkSandGirl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgoz Posted June 13, 2022 Author #11 Share Posted June 13, 2022 The chocolate lava cake in the MDR just sounds so much better that matcha cake to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap_D Posted June 14, 2022 #12 Share Posted June 14, 2022 The dessert was nothing interesting but I recall it being themed to the animation. Our toddler loved it. If you're traveling with a child you go for watching the experience that they'll have. The child price was substantially lower than the adult one on our cruise. Presumably it's comparable with anything that a child could experience on a Disney cruise. And when we factored in that the OBC is essentially to use for these types of experiences and allocate space then you can try not to think of it as a paid version of the same meal you'd have somewhere else on the ship. Considering they're serving the same food for everyone, at the same time, it didn't seem as if any of the dishes were being cooked to order. If you Google the concept it turns out it's available at some resorts across the world and not just Celebrity. Also agree, one and done unless you have a child who really wants to return.

Never had any interest in Le Petit Chef. Anyone I've spoken to who've done it never had much to say. One couple from our table in MDR said they would have rather had dinner with the rest of our table that night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
