irenedee Posted January 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Currently on board Reflection and enjoying a Sky Suite for the first time It’s only day two but all I can say about Luminae deserts is ......OMG[emoji39]. I will be so fat at the end of this cruise Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mom says Posted January 20, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Wow, Luminae must be even more special than I thought. Imagine: their very own desert in the midst of all that ocean! Brilliant! By the way, how are the desserts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irenedee Posted January 20, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Yesterday I had the White Chocolate Macadamia Cake and I thought it was the best desert I have ever had. Today I had the Chocolate Lava Cake and decided that it was the best desert I have ever had Can’t wait until dinner ....[emoji39] Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEZMARYLOU Posted January 20, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 20, 2018 How long is your cruise? Around day 10 they usually offer the chocolate sphere. Not to be missed IMO and I like all of the desserts except Baked Alaska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irenedee Posted January 20, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Day 2 of 10 on the lovely, post dry dock Reflection There is a weight scale in the bathroom .... what a cruel sense of humour this cruise ship has - lol Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irenedee Posted January 20, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Just noticed my spelling error - lol. Deserts rather than desserts I’ll blame it on the fine glass of Malbec that accompanied the Chocolate Lava Cake 🍷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lastdance Posted January 20, 2018 #10 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Now my mouth is watering...I agree, as I have also had some great desserts in Luminae!! My aunt always eats her dessert first...she is 94, and very tiny! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TobyKnits Posted January 20, 2018 #11 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I actually expected that this thread was going to be about how terrible they are! I can't eat a lot of dairy so I avoid most of them, but the ones I have tried weren't very good. And the dessert cart has been terrible both times I've tried things from it. I love Luminae otherwise.

irenedee Posted January 21, 2018 Author #17 Share Posted January 21, 2018 So tonight we shared a flan with a pomegranate sorbet. Good but not outstanding, lacked taste. However the Veal Cannelloni -my entree - jaw dropping delicious. How do they do it [emoji39] Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Redking Posted January 21, 2018 #18 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Here's a picture of the chocolate sphere. We missed out on the "flambe" experience. Apparently maratine health and safety legislation does not allow them to do this whilst in Australian and NZ waters. Still one of the best desserts I have ever tasted though!

Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted January 21, 2018 #19 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Not on the menu, but ask nicely and you shall receive. It was on the dessert menu every night on the Summit last week.

Thank you for setting me straight. I can't speak to the cheese that is on the dessert menu. The group I was with was ordering it as a starter and it was a nice selection of cheese that seemed to be the same as what is available in Murano. I was looking for a photo, didn't find one, but they would bring us a big platter for 4 people to share with 4 or 5 cheeses, dried apricots, walnuts, grapes, and crackers.
