mnsweeps Posted March 9, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Do they still serve Baked Alaskan icecream? I am on Conquest next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deborahjo Posted March 9, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Have not seen on the new menu. I was shocked how nasty it tasted in October on the Liberty. The sponge cake tasted just like a sponge and the egg whites that were suppose to me a marainge? was grainy. Not impressed. Nothing like it use to be that is for sure.

sanmarcosman Posted March 9, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I have never eaten a baked Alaskan and I never will. ;) The dessert is still served on the old desserts menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanyaewa Posted March 9, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 9, 2014 In the early days - like the 70s, I mean..... When I was a kid they were amazing masterpieces that came out from the kitchen on fire and wre served, sliced at the table. My first cruise on princess in 1999, there was a small individual ice cream ball covered in meringue, served on a sliver platter by the waitstaff. I have I idea why they serve the slice of ice cream, sponge cake and egg whites anymore at all. It is NOTHING like Baked Alaska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRJ700 Posted March 9, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Do they still serve Baked Alaskan icecream? I am on Conquest next month. Alaskans are hard to come by, expensive and are gamey unless prepared correctly. However I do believe that baked Alaska is still on the menu.

k2excursion Posted March 10, 2014 #9 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I get the Baked Alaska every time. I'm not picky. I like cake & ice cream, and that dessert works great for me. I usually order 2, like I did on the Dream in January. Maybe they aren't genuine Baked Alaska, but they are still quite good. And I am very happy to not see anything on fire being carried around!!! Doesn't sound entertaining to me, sounds very scary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzloolue Posted March 10, 2014 #10 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Alaskans are hard to come by, expensive and are gamey unless prepared correctly. Like pigs with lipstick? It is some ice cream with some tasteless cake and some meringue. You can do better from the popsicle man.

crusinpsychRN Posted March 10, 2014 #14 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Baked Alaska used to be a highlight! They'd turn down the lights and the servers would come in with the blue hued flame on each one. The flame went out when the alcohol burned off and they'd cut it at the table for each person. What they serve now is a vanilla cake with cosmo ice cream. Very misnamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pungo3 Posted March 10, 2014 #15 Share Posted March 10, 2014 It was still available on my December Dream cruise. My tablemates both ordered it. They did not comment on the taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dd2355 Posted March 10, 2014 #17 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) If you want to find baked Alaskan, I recommend visiting Colorado. The dessert Baked Alaska was available on Paradise in January. Edited March 10, 2014 by dd2355 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Bluff Posted March 10, 2014 #18 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Ah yes, the two nights of dancingh one for the Baked Alaska, and one for the Cherries Jubilee. And the look that I would get when I would ask for the dessert menu, as I was never interested in either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzface Posted March 10, 2014 #19 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I prefer my Alaskan to be sauteed with fava beans and paired with a nice chianti... Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovestocruise19 Posted March 10, 2014 #20 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I was on the Conquest in January, but two of the seven nights we ate up at the Lido buffet (once on the second elegant night and once because we had to print our boarding passes for our flight home). So it might have been offered on one of those nights. I do know that I had it on the Liberty last year: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipbound Posted March 10, 2014 #21 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Have not seen it on a carnival ship in some time. Do reember the old days when it was served flambe Same hear I have not seen baked Alaskan or cherry jubilee, since the mid nineties ,which were lit up. I'll bet the fire marshal had something to with their extermination. Edited March 10, 2014 by Shipbound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
