Donuts

[darinscruising]

Princess makes very good donuts, especially chocolate ,  since I've only seen them on disembarking from ship, has anyone requested them during the cruise?

 Just go to the IC and ask.  Usually, right there.  If not, they’ll tell you when.  Also try the buffet.  Royal class ships have an entire dessert buffet within the regular buffet.

I was on the enchanted for 14 days in Nov,  only seen them once.

The Enchanted served them every day although they weren't a good a in past years. There was something lacking and I didn't want to consume the extra calories.

I didn't see any donuts at all on 10 days on the Crown.

I agree. We saw them each morning at the IC but they just didn’t taste as good as before.

Me when donuts are in the IC…

You looked at the IC before 11 AM?

Personally, I'm all about the IC almond croissants! The donuts are readily avilable every morning at IC during breakfast hrs.

Just got off the Emerald after 30 day B2B Panama Canal.  Had a chocolate donut almost every morning with my tea at the IC, ususally around 7AM.

This might be heresy, but in general, I have not been impressed with Princess' sweet pastries, whether in the IC or the Pastry Shop in the World Market.  The donuts certainly aren't fresh Krispy Kreme quality, the croissants are too dry and not particularly flaky, and things that look good, don't match in taste.

 

I do like the chocolate chip cookies in the Pastry Shop, though.😉

I saw donuts every day on the buffet at breakfast on the Caribbean last week.  My friend said they looked better than they tasted, but I never had one.

No need to steal them.  The food at the IC is included in the fare.

And I though it was just me. 😑

They had donuts every day with different icing but after trying a bite or two of a few, I just went with the croissants.

If their donuts were anything like Krispy Kreme it would have been a different story. 😄

No, I don't go to the International Cafe in the morning hours -- I eat in the buffet.

Let me clarify:  I eat breakfast in the buffet.  I usually eat breakfast in the MDR exactly once each cruise, just to make sure that I am not cheating myself by going to the buffet instead of the MDR.

 

I have never been impressed by the food offerings at the IC during the non-breakfast hours, so I never made a point to check on the IC offerings during breakfast.  (I don't drink coffee, so I don't go to the IC for coffee.)  Thanks to this thread, I will check the IC at breakfast some morning on my next Princess cruise, to try a donut.

We've seen the frosted ring donuts on all our recent cruises.  I couldn't care less about those. What I do care about and what's been gone is the little custard or jam filled donuts. I miss those little balls of happiness!

I bet they were sugar free. Many of the cakes at the IC had a `sugar free` notice on the Regal lately.

In the Pastry Shop, the "sugar free" pastries/donuts were clearly marked as such, while the ones with sucrose were the default option.

We have had donuts on all of our Princess cruises (over 30).  On the ships with an IC, there are always donuts in the morning (I think they are in the case until 11 or 11:30 when they are replaced with lunch items).

I think the almond croissants win, but I did get the cinnamon sugar donuts on the Ruby, both in the IC and HC, and thought they were good. What disappointed me though on the Ruby were the peanut butter cookies. Not the same at all.  Just yucky

[milogurd]

They used to have Nutella donuts in the IC on the last morning. Not sure it they have them anymore. They went FAST! Had to get there before 7AM to get one.

I don’t eat donuts.  Where on the Caribbean will I find fresh fruit?

At the IC and Buffet.
