FlaCruiser007 Posted March 2, 2014 #51 Share Posted March 2, 2014 MDR WCMC w/peanut butter Bitter and Blanc Gran Marnier Soufflé Steakhouse Cheesecake! Brunch Cheesecake I also find the buffet desserts to be bland, except for the apple crumb cake. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecruiserofships Posted March 2, 2014 Author #52 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Agreed. Favorites that haven't been mentioned- the Cappuccino Pie in the MDR is pretty tasty. I was, however, disappointed with the deserts in the steakhouse. For the upcharge, I was expecting something WOW! and it didn't happen. Again, pretty to look at but not out of the ordinary. On the other hand, tiramisu in the Italian restaurant on the Magic is incredible! I would have thought that the steakhouse would have been better since you are paying extra for it. I guess I will just stick to the MDR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 cruzen Posted March 2, 2014 #53 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I would have thought that the steakhouse would have been better since you are paying extra for it. I guess I will just stick to the MDR! I actually thought the apple dessert they serve is quite good. I think it gets missed since so many rave about the chocolate sampler...too rich for me, or the CHEESECAKE....too huge and honestly, didn't think it tasted that good. Try the apple dessert if you go...yummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deborahjo Posted March 3, 2014 #56 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Bitter and Blanc is a bread pudding with an awesome vanilla sauce over it that is warm. YUMMY I like the banana splits. I have several a cruise. The worst thing I ever tasted was the diet apple pie. Taste like pure cardboard to me.

Shaded Lady Posted March 3, 2014 #57 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Hi :) Favorite - Bitter & Blanc Least favorite - Warm chocolate melting cake I'm sorry, but the warm chocolate melting cake tastes and even looks like something cheap & nasty that a 5 year old cooked in a 'Easy Bake Oven'. :) AGREE!!!! I would just add the crème brulee when available to my favorites... The WCMC is too rich, too undercooked and too gooey for me- there's not enough ice cream in the world to help that stuff go down! I tried it once and never again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiselover5461 Posted March 3, 2014 #58 Share Posted March 3, 2014 MDR favorite bitter & blanc least favorite wmcc Lido Buffet favorite chocolate chip & plain cookies least favorite everything else.. Worst cheese cake if you can even call it that. Carnival's desserts use to be good I don't know what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pops72106 Posted March 3, 2014 #59 Share Posted March 3, 2014 black forest gateu is my favorite in the mdr and I like the key lime pie on the buffet, but on 1 cruise they served a key lime cake and was incredible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissCruiseAddict Posted March 7, 2014 #62 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Favorite: WCMC, chocolate mint cake from the buffet, this raspberry chocolate mousse type cake I had on the Dream last week. Least favorite: the diet pumpkin pie, creame brulee, tirimsu, and every other desert on the lido buffet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingCruiserNJ Posted March 15, 2014 #63 Share Posted March 15, 2014 For obvious reasons, wcmc first and foremost. But, I just love the cherries jubilee and the black forest cake. I also like the pears cooked in red wine and the fruit plate. I almost always get a fruit plate in addition to whatever else I want from the dessert menu. I surely hope they don't ditch these selections when they expand the stupid American table idea in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbie in Orlando Posted March 15, 2014 #64 Share Posted March 15, 2014 My favorites in the MDR on the Freedom a few weeks ago was a Chocolate Raspberry cake and also the Cappuccino Pie was very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolyroger Posted March 16, 2014 #65 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) The best thing I"ve ever had a on cruise for dessert was back in 2010 on the Dream. It was embarkation day and we had lunch in the MDR. I didn't realize (cause it being our first cruise with carnival) that lunch is not normally In the MDR.. Anyhow, the dessert I had was I believe called "vacation celebration sundae" .. It was the best thing, it had icecream,wafer cookies(lady finger type) and fruit.. served in a parfait glass....Yeah it was great..I've yet to find it again..Thats about the best..Also had key lime cheesecake on the same cruise which I only found once and that was not too shabby either or when they have tiramisu..and...warm chocolate melting cake, not a fan...I think I'd rather skip dessert most of the time and have a after dinner shot....Now those are FABULOUS!

Rare 1kaper Posted March 16, 2014 #66 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I don't remember the old menu. I do like the Carnival Chocolate Melting Cake. It is very sweet and I can't usually eat most of it. I liked a few on the MDR new menu (Glory). My favourite was probably the Warm Date and Fig Pudding with passion fruit custard and homemade rum and raisin ice cream. Not was I would usually go for but surprisingly good. Same with the Almond Financier with chilled rhubarb soup. Did not like the Smores Parfait but the Cheesecake with mango sorbet was terrible. I am not a fan of Carnival's cheesecakes at all. That would be my least favourite. I rarely find anything I like in the buffet desserts. I overheard someone talking about how goo the key lime pie was so I had to try it. It was ok, but not tart like I am used to. I tried a few of the cake pops, ok but a little gooey. I pretty much skip dessert there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPfromCT Posted March 16, 2014 #69 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Best: WCMC Worst: I can't say, because I ALWAYS get the WCMC:o:o I'm really not a sweets/dessert kind of person, but this concoction is to DIE for:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erinmarie424 Posted March 16, 2014 #70 Share Posted March 16, 2014 BEST: Chocolate Gateau Cake, B&B, and just about anything from the Coffee Shop (totally worth a few bucks) WORST: WCMC (I like my cake at least medium well, thanks) and I keep trying the "diet" cakes but haven't found one I wanted more than a couple of bites of yet. Maybe that's what makes them diet cakes. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about the steakhouse apple dessert or MDR apple pie? I was originally talking about the Steakhouse apple dessert. I don't have a picture and it's not a pie. Hard to explain, or my memory doesn't serve me, but I remember it's delicious and easier to eat than the apple dessert in the MDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samzgirl84 Posted March 16, 2014 #73 Share Posted March 16, 2014 My faves: MDR---raspberry-cream chocolate cake Bitter & blanc Strawberry bisque(I know, I know, It's a starter) Brunch--banana cream pie Buffet--white chocolate cream cake (chocolate buffet) cookies My least favorite is the mango mousse cake and any and all of the fruity mousse desserts on the buffet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t1adams Posted March 17, 2014 #74 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Kind of off topic, but has anyone had the apple puff pastry dessert that they serve in the steakhouse on the Freedom? How was it? Pictures? I'll have to look and see if I have pics. I've had it but not on this ship. I'm sure the taste is standard. I really liked it and had it served with ice cream. It's not near as heavy as the other choices but it does have a nice buttery taste!!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
