Kc52 Posted November 17, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Yum. What a great idea. We will be trying them out for sure. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodakboiler Posted November 17, 2023 #3 Share Posted November 17, 2023 They had this on our recent Oosterdam TA last week. Served by chefs but difficult to see what was offered since they had the area cordoned off to keep people back. Looked really good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlsSalt Posted November 17, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Showed up on a recent Noordam cruise as well - quite gorgeous, and once the crowd faded, one could choose and sample. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted November 17, 2023 #5 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I guess the new HAL marketing campaign will revolve around "Let them Eat Cake!" Hank 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Nickelpenny Posted November 17, 2023 #11 Share Posted November 17, 2023 We had this on my Pacific Coast cruise in October. Fabulous! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S&B Posted November 17, 2023 #12 Share Posted November 17, 2023 We had this on our 2022 Grand Africa cruise and I think that was kind of a test and i am glad they are doing this on the shorter cruises. It is really something and you will truly enjoy it. 😀 I do have pictures but have never posted on the CC board. Maybe it is time to learn. ENJOY!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TiogaCruiser Posted November 18, 2023 #14 Share Posted November 18, 2023 This sounds like a revival of the Dessert Extravaganza (was that the name?) with a little twist from the late 2000s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskerchick Posted November 18, 2023 #15 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Yum! Who doesn't like cake. Looks like I will need to shed a few extra pounds before my December cruise 😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenp123 Posted November 18, 2023 #19 Share Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) I am on the eurodam right now and they did it today in the lido. I got there towards the end, but they originally had 11 different cake flavors. I had the vegan chocolate cake(fyi I am not vegan) and it was one of the best desserts that I have had onboard HAL. Certainly the best cake I have had on board. Edited November 18, 2023 by jenp123 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got off the Koningsdam and as far as I know it didn’t happen there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't remember any announcement but last month just happened to walk by it. I didn't think the cakes were all that (or many of the desserts) ... didn't taste fresh. We asked for thin slices just to taste a few. I imagine it's hard to bake much fresh in bulk (besides bread). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes! It was the Dutch Chocolate Extravaganza by the Lido Pool on the final “Formal Night.” The only negative is that it usually started quite late at night. I have missed those events and am so happy they’re bringing something like this back to HAL! 👏👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
