Whatever they were, hopefully they have them again this summer. I did take photos on the Pearl in December of this year. These were the plain yellow corn tortilla chips. I added the cheese plate my husband requests. And the chocolate covered strawberries referenced a few times in this post. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had " normal" buns on the Dawn in December. They didn't disintegrate. Sweets instead of chocolate covered strawberries. I can't speak to the availability of cookies or hashbrowns on the ship. But I was on a cruisetour and the hotel did have hashbrowns every morning LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCL's procurement must be continuously challenged with their bulk purchasing leverage in negotiating prices to keep it low. What's next on the chopping block ... just don't touch my smoked salmon in the MDR at breakfast time 😬 Actually, the size of the half toasted bagel and even the bakery items like white/whole wheat toast, buns for the burger, etc. have all gotten smaller lately. Pennies saved, added together multipled by 50,000 serving units a week ... times X number of ships - sure, add up in substantial savings toward the bottomline for shareholders. They are really just looking out for your dietary health 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather have cookies than most deserts, especially warm fromthe mid afternoon buffet. But on the Prima last week I was told they no longer do cookies. It’s no biggy but I remember from our very first NCL cruise years ago, they would set up a table at the entrance to the buffet with four types of cookies. All very good quality then, and still warm. 😋 On our November 2023 cruise on Prima, they were ONLY in the Observation Lounge during Afternoon Snack time. The line was looooooong............Good Cookies..... Nom, Nom, Nom 😋 Hoping they will be on our Alaska Cruise in May on the Jewel 🧐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strawberry adds a delish freshness. And, if you have never tried it, pineapple rings dipped in chocolate are extra delish! If you are in the Haven, a good butler can get them for you with a day or two's notice. (They are listed as one of the items you can pre-order under 'Gifts & More' on the app.) Chocolate dipped pineapple...YES!!! 🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Nuff said. 🤠 BTW, have you heard about the new towel animal replacement? Every day, our steward (last month on the Bliss) arranged the bed pillows in a different pattern. Not quite as entertaining as the animals, but interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made you notice something, just of Prima and ours was done the same way. All slanted right, left, in a v, in a w staggered, a different touch.

detroitlions Posted February 11 #88 Share Posted February 11 I don’t understand how folks do not have potato chips in there house. Seems un American. My in-laws never have cookies or chips. When they come to my house they devour all the chips and cookies. I don’t get it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKstages Posted February 11 #89 Share Posted February 11 i had a burger at american diner a couple of weeks ago on the getaway. bun did not fall apart. i didn't think the bun was any different than any other bun i've had on any other NCL ship. i am beginning to think that the repeated reports of disintegrating buns has more to do with the gusto with which the eater approaches his or her burger, the size and moisture level of the "fixin's" piled high (if any) atop said burger and the amount of time it takes to eat that burger.

Gotcha ... maybe, M&M's in assorted colors, since they are still using them in Haven ... treats, right ?? bean counters of M&M costs should be happy, unless they are getting rid of those too, haha.

Oops, my bad, giving them funny ideas. i'm pretty sure M&Ms are more expensive than strawberries. if they are looking to get rid of things, they could just simplify everything and get rid of the bean counters.

IAcruising Posted February 12 #98 Share Posted February 12 If I ever get to the Haven, I will simply place a room service request for 80 orders of cookies and have them delivered to the lounge. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_sobe Posted February 12 #99 Share Posted February 12 (edited) A recent Haven review stated there were giant and delicious chocolate chip cookies on the Prima. Y'all are never going to win those Haven upgrade bids again. Haven completely sold out for those chocolate chip cookies. Yet another reason to book an owners suite. Some passengers are even munching them during the embarkation process 🍪 But have you had those cookies! 🍪 🍪 Edited February 12 by david_sobe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
