flyingv4me Posted October 25, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Are there "no sugar" options for dessert in the MDR? I see menus from Blu that offer a different NS ice cream and one other NS dessert each evening, but couldn't find menus from the MDR offering these. Thanks!

Hi Flyingv4me, Yes - Celebrity offers a no sugar option for Dessert in the MDR. They are also very accomodating with any special dietary requirements. Once onboard, I suggest speaking with your Assistant Maitre 'd, and they will try their best to accomodate requests. I hope this helps. Enjoy your Cruise !

The ones in Blu are also very good desserts...both my DH and I had them several times on our Silhouette cruise and liked very much....imagine the same would be true in the MDR!!

EithneMay Posted October 25, 2011 #7 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I loved the sugar free ice cream in the MDR and also in the buffet! It was a great no-guilt option every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelebrityMan Posted October 25, 2011 #8 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hi, Have no fear for the no-sugar options available. As one who was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes a mere 4 months prior to our most recent Celebrity cruise, I was actively seeking out dessert options. Of the 6 people at our table (all of us traveling together), the sugar-free and no-sugar-added options were in fact so delicious that many night several of the folk opted for these desserts. Additionally, we also found that the sugar-free ice cream available in the afternoons in the buffet area was simply extraordinary — delicious and decadent without feeling like I'd have to risk anything. Have a great cruise!! CM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingv4me Posted October 25, 2011 Author #9 Share Posted October 25, 2011 This is fantastic! I love ice cream, in particular, and can't wait for a variety of offerings over the cruise! That, in combination with the other offerings and I won't feel cheated at all when everyone else orders dessert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are the same number of carbohydrates in a tablespoon of sugar as there are in a slice of white bread. 8 ounces of milk (even skim) has the same amount of carbohydrates as a tablespoon of sugar. There are sugar-free desserts, but none of them are carbohydrate-free. If you are diabetic, you might want to speak to your diabetes educator.

flyingv4me Posted October 25, 2011 Author #12 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I understand, but sugar free does reduce the impact. Everything in moderation; however, sugar free enables me to sample on occasion instead of not partaking at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie115 Posted October 26, 2011 #13 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Note...everything is "NO SUGAR ADDED" not no sugar... That's true, except on the Porch on Silhouette they had some "no sugar" at all desserts, used Splenda instead, and they were very good....so if you look hard enough you can find the "sugar free" variety too....

Ever read the ingredients on a Splenda package? It contains Dextrose, which IS a sugar. Since the serving contain less than 5 calories of sugar, the US FDA allows them to advertise it as zero calories. I liken that logic to being "a little bit pregnant", but each must decide on their own. In today's world, we must all become label readers and nutritional experts, else we will become victims of the "Madison Avenue spinsters". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on the Equinox this past April and every night for dinner in the main dining room my husband was able to get a NS dessert. I don't recall if it was actually on the menu every night, but if it isn't, if you let your waiter know that you would like to have a NS added dessert, it shouldn't be a problem....I think there was also NS added ice cream for dessert. Enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read it and am aware of the few calories involved.....which is more than 70% less than standard sugars...a win for me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STANCPA44 Posted October 26, 2011 #19 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Note...everything is "NO SUGAR ADDED" not no sugar... I imagine that they add artificial sugar to the desert. If they do not I would try them. There has been numerous studies showing that artificial sugar is very unhealthy, spikes up the insulin worst than sugar. Now no sugar and no artificial sugar added desert would be great, but I fear that the no sugar deserts contain artificial sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the fat in the ns ice cream? I think there is the same amount of fat as there is in regular ice cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allis154 Posted October 28, 2011 #22 Share Posted October 28, 2011 In January, I complained that the Creme Brule was too sweet...they made me one with Splenda....Still too sweet, but better....and now I know I can ask to have it done with Splenda instead :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
