Outerdog Posted December 23, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Has anyone happened to grab a pic of the Chocolate Pistachio Dome Desert (recently served on Royal, or wherever) they would be willing to share? Need to settle a debate. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of those look like the shiny bulbous green-tit menagerie I just saw. They come close, but not quite right. I stupidly failed to take a pic of it. It was absurd in its shape and sweet to the point that S&H went out of business. It was a large shiny green dome of sweet horror. On the Royal. This week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruizinSusan70 Posted December 24, 2022 #7 Share Posted December 24, 2022 If it's a desert, wouldn't it be pretty dry and you would need a lot of coffee to wash it down? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This used to be my favorite dessert, but I wouldn't touch this mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonit964 Posted December 24, 2022 #9 Share Posted December 24, 2022 The first one is from September on the Sapphire and the second is from Discovery last month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpeabody Posted December 24, 2022 #11 Share Posted December 24, 2022 WOW! Many different looking versions. Hmmmmm, what's up with that? I am so sad about the demise of one of my favorites, love boat dream 😞 This replacement does not even look like something I would want to try. The official Norman Love pistachio dome was one of my favorites. So sad what they have done now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the shoreside chef and costs which dictate this change; that's why you're seeing this roll out on multiple ships. You'll see the new menus have an updated description. Same with Princess love boat dream. Much cheaper ingredients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeke Eak Posted December 25, 2022 #15 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Question for the people that had the non shiny version of the dome: How did it taste? Did it taste like the shiny type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real original LBD had a crisp bottom, overly rich chocolate (not pudding), and a Godiva chocolate with the sea witch logo on top. It has been years since that version was served. What is served now is a Love Boat Nightmare. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare trinitygirl Posted January 2, 2023 #18 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Yum! The first pic is from the Regal Princess, Baltic Cruise July 2019. The second pic is from Golden Princess South Pacific cruise, January 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted January 12, 2023 #19 Share Posted January 12, 2023 This was the pistachio on the Royal’s Christmas and NYE cruise. It is still really yummy but is different than before. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Joelocal Posted January 12, 2023 #21 Share Posted January 12, 2023 The above photo was from last week. I got the shiny version. The ring is supposed to fit around the base of the dome. My wife thought it looked like the contents of a toilet bowl. Not attractive at all. But... I ate the whole thing. It was delicious 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromep Posted January 13, 2023 #22 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Me thinks there is a tremendous amount of variability in what is being presented under the same name on board. While the stage entertainers all go to California to learn their production shows before getting to the ship (at least Princess used to make a big deal about stateside training for production shows), it seems like food prep is not given such detailed training. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weird thing is that I have taken galley tours before and they have pictures of what the dish is supposed to look like - most likely used to plate the meal but they are real pictures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done the galley tour before and noticed the visual assembly instructions. Reminded me a bit of the graphics that fast food joints use in their kitchens. All of the photos in the thread have some similarity, the belt line of freckled chocolate, some quantity of stacking of chocolate swirls and macaroons, it's the dome that varies. Is it shiny and green, or is it just chocolate brown, how about matte green with a chia like surface? "Cha-cha-cha-chia. It's the new Chia desert from Princess Cruises. Rich velvety green which is sure not to match with how it actually tastes. And random stacking of other pastries in our kitchen. How about some curls of white chocolate and a really small macaroon. Little dabs of sweet sauces on your plate. You'll love it. Princess Cruises, come back new." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare trinitygirl Posted January 13, 2023 #25 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I wondered if its because the chef that Princess had the Chocolate Journeys contract with, is no longer with Princess? Maybe they are moving to new formulations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
