dizzyr Posted June 1, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) My daughter and I just finished our first RCCL cruise and we loved it. We weren't sure how it would compare to Princess (our usual cruise line) but we would be happy to sail with them again. Among many other things we liked, they had super yummy coconut cookies that we enjoyed daily (sometimes more than once ok maybe even more than twice a day!) Today I said to her in a very sad news reporting somber voice "today is day 4 of no coconut cookies". Then I said "maybe we should just book another cruise right now" and her response was "that's a good plan but if they don't have the cookies on every cruise is there even any point?" Clearly we were just being silly and somewhat overdramatic about the cookies but it prompted me to ask - is there always coconut cookies in the Cafe Promenade??!!!!

The coconut ranger cookies are available on all the ships and mostly everyday. There can be days that they rotate a different cookie into the mix.

F27TW Posted June 1, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) They absolutely are delicious .. and i ate more of them on my last Mariner cruise than I wanna admit. I'd love to be able to bake something similar. I know these have to be mass produced by some major Sysco-type distributor ... i gotta try this recipe above !

Tlbecker1 Posted June 1, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Also, keep in mind if you don’t see them, you can always ask for them in the Windjammer. I have done that in the past and then they were there every single day after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There can be days that they rotate a different cookie into the mix. Some Ships have search for certain Flavor Cookie. Might be in WJ or different Venue. Like Ranger and the Coco w/chocolate chips. When see them I'll grab a dozen and keep them in Ziplock in my Fridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BND Posted June 2, 2023 #12 Share Posted June 2, 2023 We love them. I've made them from recipe online and they are not the same, but they are good. DH always grabs 6-8 whenever he finds them and brings them back to our room. They are by far the most favorite cookies onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are cookies everyday in the WJ, but usually only one or two varieties. Also, Park Cafe/Promenade Cafe have cookies (same ones WJ has each day). It's why my DH grabs several when he finds Ranger ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a galley tour, they are fascinating. They took us to the proofing room where ALL the baked goods are made and the rolls are proofed. Many folks swear they are frozen...not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been several online recipes that attempted to "reverse engineer" the RCL Ranger Cookie recipe, and we have tried a few of them - and some of them came close, but not quite there. The one that I posted came directly from RCL (it was published in one of their online newsletters), and I really liked the results (even though DW won't let me make them anymore😞) Edited June 2, 2023 by orville99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovesthebeach2 Posted June 2, 2023 #21 Share Posted June 2, 2023 My absolute favorite is the white chocolate, cranberry, macadamia cookies….. I hardly ever see them anymore. I check every day. I guess they’re too expensive 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
