bEwAbG Posted May 5, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Ice cream. A lot of the cakes and pastries look great but don't taste like much. Can be very hit or miss. This is very much based on personal preference, too. Some people love chocolate and some love vanilla and there is a range in between. So try what you want as you see it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoastsue Posted May 5, 2023 #3 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Gelato is very good too although there is an additional charge, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdeer76 Posted May 5, 2023 #4 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I always love the creme brulee but also enjoyed the apple crumble. I don't like cake so never tried any of them. I did enjoy their ice cream though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that it works in Luminae and believe it also works in the MDR. However, that being said, to answer the original question I cannot single out any one dessert. There are so many that are wonderful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvcrusn Posted May 5, 2023 #9 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I'm partial to the small chocolate cake covered in chocolate ganache they give for special occasions. It's rich, dark, dense, not too sweet and soooo yummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xamsx Posted May 5, 2023 #14 Share Posted May 5, 2023 The desserts look beautiful, but the taste doesn't match the appearance. As far as the ice cream, more than half the time, it is freezer burned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare keesar Posted May 5, 2023 #15 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I agree that the cakes and cupcakes look much better than they taste. I stick to ice cream, gelato, chocolate mousse and creme brule. If you are dining in a Specialty Restaurant, then that is another story. Many excellent choices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSFrance69 Posted May 5, 2023 #16 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I'm not much of a dessert person. They make a really good creme brule that I have at least once though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted May 5, 2023 #17 Share Posted May 5, 2023 The cakes served at Cafe al Bacio in the evening can be wonderful. The basic chocolate cake from the "always available" section on the MDR menu (and also offered in Blu and Luminae) is delicious. But my favorite is the flaming sphere on the Luminae menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chanbre Posted May 5, 2023 #18 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) On our cruises they served proper hot puddings adjacent to the OVC's ice cream station, but only one choice per day. I remember things like sponge puddings with custard, chocolate puddings, rice pudding with jam. They even served spotted dick (although it was named differently, I have no idea of why they disliked a "spotted" pudding). One cruise the OVC served several different trifles one evening. They are mixes of fruits, sponge, cream, and custard. Beyond that, I went for the cream brulee or the ice creams.

thebutlerdidit Posted May 5, 2023 #19 Share Posted May 5, 2023 My favorite is the caramelized gingerbread with wasabi gelato from Sushi on 5. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxydog15 Posted May 5, 2023 #20 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Many are really good. Fun trying them. Nice part is you didn't have to make them yourself. But one fun one on the Silhouette last summer were these small yellow cake cubes covered in chocolate and rolled in toasted cocoanut. OMG they were good. Only had them once. Will be on Eclipse soon and am gonna ask them if they make those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helen haywood Posted May 5, 2023 #23 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Their desserts seem to always have too much gelatin or some other stabilizers. I understand the need…but the taste and texture suffer. Give me a shot of Bailey’s! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofysmom99 Posted May 5, 2023 #24 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) OP, since you're going to be in Luminae on Millennium (no Murano or Lawn Club), I definitely recommend the Daniel Boulud raspberry pistachio vacherin. You'll see it at the bottom of the Luminae main menu, not the dessert menu. It's definitely one of my favorites (right up there with Grand Marnier souffle in Murano).
