And i don't mean this year! This is my idea of dessert. I don’t think you should wait that long. Tell you what, if you book Equinox for 10 December, I’ll hand you one when you board😜 My DH says I’m a bad influence, but he intends to get one too 😂 Edited October 1, 2021 by Silkroad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhfy Posted October 1, 2021 #27 Share Posted October 1, 2021 My favorite Affogato (gelato topped with espresso & chocolate drizzle). It’s on the classic beverage package 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to join you having either one. Looking at the new scheduled Vancouver to Hawaii Apr 23 to make up for all their cancelled Australian itinerary. We've never had a sailing to Hawaii from Vancouver in April and probably never will again. Some are making a B2B out of this, pairing it with the usual one May 4, Honolulu to Vancouver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of excited to have a beverage package after 9 celebrity cruises. This is a single coffee drink .. . It is espresso with all of those liqueurs added. The cost of $10 is $1.00 over the Classic limit, so you would be charged $1.20 ($1 over limit plus 20% gratuity) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdn_tbird Posted October 2, 2021 #34 Share Posted October 2, 2021 We are there at least 3 times every day, I swear any more and they would install a plaque on our usual table. If X ever did something stupid like try to replace it, DW would go on a rampage.😆 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I heard they make a good Bloody Mary. Is it made differently than at the other bars? I do have to have my Bloody Mary(s) every day for the Vitamin C. We have the Premium Beverage Package.

I'll sometimes skip dessert in the MDR and opt for a slice of carrot cake or German chocolate cake ai Cafe El bacio. Both to die for. Cheesecakes are pretty good too. Can't wait to try the Aspen Coffee. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covepointcruiser Posted October 2, 2021 #40 Share Posted October 2, 2021 For the calories in one of those alcohol coffee drinks I would have to skip two meals! I wish I could eat and drink the way I did in my twenties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Cafe al Bacio is a bar, so other cocktails may exceed the price limit as well . Thanks for that photo, "cruisestitch," because it brought back good memories. Because we had the Premium package, we tried the first five of the six pictured cocktails ... and we highly recommend all of them to anyone to whom the ingredients seem appealing. Another page in the Cafe's menu has seven more "coffee cocktails," for which the 2021 price is $8, if we recall correctly -- and are thus covered by the Classic package. All of those pleased us too, but not as much as the $12 drinks. Contrary to what was stated by one or two people above, "Aspen Coffee" is now avaiable for $8 (therefore within the Classic Package), not for $10. One can see this in the "International Coffees" photo in this post from an August, 2021, Equinox cruise (confirmed by us in September): .

No little chocolate mousse cups either. And they were also out of chai tea for half the voyage. Oh well, switched to cappuccinos and lemon tarts. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use mascarpone cheese and was told they cannot always get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tarts are some the best desserts on the ship. In generally, I find that I like desserts with pastry crust better than any of the cakes.

But the chocolate mousse cups have been excellent as has the creme brule. Most of the desserts looks better than they taste, especially the layer cakes and pies.
