On the Island, after the second time of just having 2 scoops of ice cream and chocolate sauce with the lollipops separate, the crew lady remembered us and would say “2 scoops with sauce and lollipops on the side”, we laughed each time we went when she was there.

KennelGoddess Posted August 25 #80 Share Posted August 25 I was debating whether to get a sundae on my recent cruise on Discovery, but it just looked too big! I ended up (only once) with two scoops of gelato which was just enough. Turned out my favorite dessert was the small slice of mango cheesecake at the International Cafe. Now drinks on the other hand…yum yum yum! I’m not a big drinker, but it gave me a chance to try things I’ve never had before, like a Bee’s Knees (after one, I decided I am NOT a fan of gin!😵💫😁) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozen chocolate and sprinkles are inedible. Melts too fast. Sticky and gooey mess. I would be happy with a good vanilla ice cream with hot fudge (not chocolate syrup). Or bring back the old fashioned chocolate cake with a good milk chocolate frosting. Is there a favorite dessert that you can eat? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had real ice cream and a large container of malted milk powder. I asked them to use "lots and lots and lots" of malt. The guy heaped a bunch into the mixer and it was sooooooooooooo good. It reminded me of wonderful malts that used to be available in a lot of burger places. If I could get that again I'd have one (yes, just one) every cruise.

Is there a favorite dessert that you can eat? They usually make me a “Surprise Me” dessert in the MDR. I really appreciate that but it would be nice to be able to order exactly what I want. I have seen photos from the Sky Princess and that ship has dairy free pastries, chocolate croissants, and ice cream too. I would love that! I have requested that they have that available on all ships and not just on the Sky Princess. I was going to find out if they granted my request a few weeks ago, but then I ended up in the hospital. We will be sailing on the Sun Princess soon and I hope that all of the above is available. I love sweets! I have a rare dairy allergy called FPIES that I developed as an adult. Pre allergy, I loved hot fudge sundaes and I would order them every chance I got. I really miss them so please have one for me! 😋 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted August 25 #88 Share Posted August 25 @MsSoCalCruiser Thanks for sharing. I am sure others will appreciate your candidness. No hot fudge on any ship, but will gladly savor the joy when I do it on land....for you. Princess does rely heavily on dairy desserts and meals. I remember one cruise that every menu/every day had some form of goat cheese. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phabric Posted August 26 #89 Share Posted August 26 It would be nice to have a few fruit pies slices in buffet/dining room/International Cafe instant of all cake or tarts. I know they offer an apple pie once during a cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpfryer Posted August 26 #97 Share Posted August 26 We had Plus on our recent Discovery Cruise. I wish there had been better information on where to get these specialty desserts. We got 2 or 3 of the sundaes at the Gelato place, but other than that, I don't know where these desserts were. As someone above stated, the chocolate and sprinkles were for looks only. I love desserts but certainly don't need them for my "girly" figure 😜 The desserts I tried at the buffet and MDR were nothing special enough that I would have wanted it again. As for the two casual meals that came with plus, we ate at the sit-down pizza restaurant twice and our app showed we still had two left. I don't understand that either.

MacMadame Posted August 26 #99 Share Posted August 26 I plan to try one sundae and 1 slice of each flavor of cake that I split with my husband. If any of them float my boat, maybe we'll have more but from what I hear that is unlikely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Spain recently (not on a cruise) and I wanted a paella but they only made them for 2 people. The waiter asked me to wait a bit and see if anyone else wanted the same. About 10 mins later he asked if I wanted to share with a woman at another table. Everybody was happy! Edited August 26 by paddingtonbear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
