My experience with Premium Desserts

[amypete]

As someone who doesn’t care about desserts….(weird, I know!) give me another awesome appetizer and I’m in! With an excellent Cab. Is that asking too much?

I’m currently on the Discovery and I set out to find out as much info as I could about the Premium Desserts that are offered with the Plus Package and the Premier Package.  

Located at the Gelato on deck 5 in the Piazza. 
 

I sucked it up in the name of research and ordered one of the ice cream monstrosities or heart attack in a glass.   First off they have all the glasses pre-prepared on a glass shelf just in case someone wants to order.  I suppose it’s edible but it would be hard going.  It’s not nice soft chocolate.   Anyway I chose the brownie sundae with some kind of small liquor bottle sticking out the side.  
 

it took forever to make and I would have felt guilty if anyone was waiting in line behind me.   It was a port day so the time issue didn’t come into play.   My big ol’ Sunday arrived and my first thought was where’s the alcohol bottle?    I was informed they didn’t have any…..not sure if that’s true or false, but I have 8 of them of different varieties in my mini bar set up.   Oh well.  
 

On to the sundae.   It was supposed to have chocolate in the bottom, followed by brownie, then vanilla ice cream (not gelato) followed by brownie, chocolate syrup, some whipped cream, some sprinkles. Cashew Brittle and some suckers sticking out the side and a brownie on top followed with more whipped cream and sprinkles.  
 

Hmmmm, where to start.   I pulled out the suckers out and laid them on a plate, tasted the whipped cream and it was meh, so I scooped that off, tasted the brownie which wasn’t brown and it looked like carrot cake.   So, I removed the brownie and dug down to the ice cream and chocolate.    It was also meh. So, I looked at it then just stood up and walked away.    Such a waste

 

Day 2:  on the previous day they gave me a piece of chocolate cake which tasted good so I went back for that and to find out if it was part of the Premium Dessert Pkg.    So, I was on a mission for the Chocolate cake.   Ok, this did not disappoint and it tasted chocolatey and had thick frosting.   It was a 3 layer cake and it was a good size portion and absolutely delicious.    It’s funny because the cakes are displayed on the bottom self near the gelato and not very visible.   

 

Here’s the skinny on what’s currently happening on the Discovery…..your mileage may vary.  
 

The following items are included as a Premium Dessert:

 

1. gelato

2. Gelato with toppings 

3.  Monster Sundaes with candy and maybe alcohol if available (they will pour some out of a large bottle) (do not recommend)

4. Cake (chocolate, Black Forest or Carrot) $4.00 if not on your beverage pkg.   Personally, I’d not order dessert at the MDR and head over and get a piece of cake (definitely splittable) (recommend)

Great review/pics!  Ty, boarding the Discovery this month going to find the cake.  You are saying it's by Gelato?  Someone else said international Cafe, both maybe?
