Are there still Wonka Pies on certain ships?

A nephew of mine loves them and we last cruised with him March 2017.  It was his birthday, so his dad asked our waiter if his son could get a Wonka Pie for dessert on his birthday.  The smile on his face lit up the dining room as our waiter brought out his birthday treat.  The waiters and chefs will do whatever they can to make you happy, such as on this special occasion.

That's a great photo of the nephew, still don't know what the pie looks like.  It's beginning to feel like you guys made it up to see who was gullible enough to believe this existed.  🙂

Did you miss this picture of it that I posted earlier?  Jean said this was the one she was looking talking about.

And post #24 describes something completely different.  🙂

My family had them on the Explorer in 2014 at the cafe Promenade.  As you can see by the link I shared, this is not something I am imagining.  My family were discussing them today during a web call and wondering if they still existed.

We will be on the Freedom on them13th. I’ll make a note to ask about it and report back.

Loved Wonka Pies...haven't seen them in a long time but I always look for them 

Did you ever try the recipe that was listed years ago?

Other than the ever-disgusting muffuletta sandwich, I don't think I've ever seen ANY of the things mentioned here at Cafe Promenade!
  

 

(And @matj2000 will be pleased to see that it's listed as "included" instead of "free"!  LOL)

CAFÉ PROMENADE

Deli

Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

CAFÉ ALL DAY

When it comes to quick and easy come-and-go eats, there’s no better place than Café Promenade. This casual, complimentary hotspot bustles 24 hours a day, so you can drop by any time — whether it’s for a steaming cup of coffee and a warm glazed cinnamon bun in the morning, or late-night bites like fried artichoke, spicy marinated cheese, and savory meatballs from behind the counter after working up an appetite on the dance floor.

ATTIRE

Casual

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

If you’re looking for a satisfying way to start your day, pair a cup of rich Royal Roast with a flaky croissandwich — stuffed with deli meats and crisp lettuce — or your favorite breakfast pastry. At lunchtime, it’s all about the flavorful chicken roti wrap and the New Orleans-style muffuletta, piled high with cold cuts and cheese. If you love a good antipasti platter, try the prosciutto with melon combo, or the pesto-grilled tomato. And if you have a sweet tooth, the decadent Mudcakes, creamy Willy Wonka pies, and fluffy round Led Zeppoles will make you come back for seconds.

The wonka is more of a slice to me , I love the chicken and vegetable pies .😘

Gotta say, I've never heard of them either but....you can bet I'll be keeping my eyes out on my next 2 voyages.  Probably a bit too sweet for my liking but I'll give it a try none the less.  🤗

On my many RC cruises I have never seen nor heard of Wonka pies.

 

From the photos it looks like those frozen ones from grocery store.

I haven’t heard of the Led Zeppoles either.  Know I have a tune in my head…..
 

Close the door, put out the light
You know they won't be home tonight.

I remember seeing Wonka pies on cruises for a few years.  They were often available in Cafe Promenade, but also available in the Windjammer.  Never in the MDR.  I cannot help you with a photo of the Wonka pie, but they are not like the ever elusive rainbow unicorn, they do (or did) exist.  We found that a lot of times the chefs working for RCCL have been there for years and they are happy to pull out an old recipe card for you to make some of these items that are no longer on the menu (for example, the cold soups that we get served every night to us in the MDR even though they are not on the menu)

Wonka Pie tastes NOTHING like the pumpkin pie you pictured.

Don't knock something you have no knowledge of

I am real sure it is a culinary masterpiece with a orgazmic taste explosion in every bit.

 

I yearn for the knowledge...

I asked at the Cafe Promenade and she didn’t know what I was talking about. Our waiter in the MDR asked his supervisor and he said they don’t make them anymore.

How could they not have known what you were talking about unless they were fairly new employees .

Very sad to hear they don't make them anymore...I'll remember to add that disappointment to my next end of cruise survey.

She looked young so might not have been with RC very long. When I asked in the MDR I was hoping they would offer to make one for me since I have never tried them. They didn’t offer so I didn’t ask them to.

Over the years so many of RCI's desert's have lost their taste...too many gelatin based and their more about the look rather than taste. Figures they would get rid of something that was rather plain looking but tasted so good. I have found very few really good tasting desert's now on RCI.....Celebrity WOW very impressed when I sailed last on Eclipse.

appreciate you asking.  How was the Adventure and the dessert selections in the Promenade?
