Cruisin MarcnFran Posted February 12, 2011 #2 Share Posted February 12, 2011 They were about $2.50 ea. on the Oasis. And during the whole week on board we never saw anyone in there making purchases. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare lv2cruisgrl Posted February 12, 2011 #7 Share Posted February 12, 2011 when we were on they were just cupcakes with frosting, different flavors, like orange creamcicle. it was just a orange cupcake in an orange paper with orange frosting....nothing wow about it. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekathy Posted February 12, 2011 #8 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Looks like the cup cakes from the photo taken on the Oasis are a little more than cup cakes with differenrt frostings. They would justify a WOW!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexkrn46 Posted February 13, 2011 #9 Share Posted February 13, 2011 My husband swore he would never pay for a cupcake, he became a frequent flyer. Every cupcake was like a piece of art and tasted wonderful. Can't wait to have more on the Liberty. The chef told us they sold 300- 400 a day.

itsyourbuc Posted February 13, 2011 #10 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Cupcakes are not bad and yes a lot of people eat them. It's like everything else, your on vacation don't want to spend money stay home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RADICALBURN Posted February 13, 2011 #11 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Disappointed, they were good but very sweet. Not worth a second one. Would rather see different pastries French, Italy nut rolls and things like in a pastry shop. But they should be in the restaurants anyway...........

mikeblum Posted February 13, 2011 Author #12 Share Posted February 13, 2011 the initial responses on the cup cake shop don't sound all that great for a $2.50 CUPCAKE...and this replaced a shave shop on the Liberty of the Sea's...I WONDER IF THEY CAN MAKE ME A GERMAN CHOCOLATE CUP CAKE FOR MY BIRTHDAY WHEN WE ARE ON THE LIBERTY OF THE SEA'S March 19th week...

Hey Mike. As far as Cupcake replacing shave shop, when we were on Freedom alst November 2009, I only saw 2 people in the shave shop all week. Grant it I was not standing there 24/7 but I always felt the shave shops were not a good revenue source. James (GO HABS GO!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeblum Posted February 13, 2011 Author #14 Share Posted February 13, 2011 James let's give it another couple of months...we have to believe that someone at RCCL did their homework to see if their is demand for revenue cup cakes on a cruise ship...?????...kind of like a retail store on franchise row that keeps changing hands...JAMES did i see correct...while watching the wild and the blues last night that the canadians and the flames are playing another outdoor game next week...the 20th...

Mike: I think that while the cupcakes are pricey, I am sure they will generate more ??? than the shave shop did. Yes - the Habs are playing the flames in the Heritage Classic. Should be fun.

It's like everything else, your on vacation don't want to spend money stay home. People who don't care to pay for cupcakes should stay home..... You are serious? To paraphrase your screen name.... itsyourbuc... they are my bucks and I'll spend them as I please. And I doubt that it will be on cupcakes.
