Is the syrup still nasty?

We sail in 10 days and was wondering if we should bring a little bottle of syrup. Just love those waffles in cagney's. My daughter and I were talking about how funny it was that we paid 1500.00 each for a cabin and bringing small 1.00 bottle of syrup. She said she plans to taste the nasty stuff after reading so much about it.

Well its not Vermont Pure Maple Syrup. :)

Bring your syrup with you, it will be needed.

There was a spirited thread recently about NCL's syrup but it appears to have been pulled.

Enjoy your cruise:)

We just went down and bought our syrup for the trip (bought an extra for the raffle too) but I honestly don't remember the syrup being that bad in Feb. this year... but it won't matter now... got the good stuff.

Enjoy your cruise, maple syrup or not. :D

Apparently, the syrup is nasty.

Here is a link to recent discussion as to just how nasty it is. Along with some....other....discussion.

Enjoy.:D

I prefer pure maple syrup and I picked up a cute plastic bottle of syrup while in Canada that I use for cruises. And it's coming with me on the Gem tomorrow!

I had an unopened glass bottle of it a year or two ago in my suitcase and it got me sent to the naughty room! LOL

AWWW, was it fun? :p I wonder if I leave ours in our suitcase if we'll get sent to the NAUGHTY ROOM. :eek: It's in the shape of Maple Leaf though... so maybe not... we'll see. :)

Have a fabulous cruise. :D

Ok syrup is in carry on. I am not real picky but the reports on how nasty got me worried. I will gladly tell them what I am doing with syrup in my bag. They can even taste it if they want to break the seal.

Thanks for the heads up.

My only food issue on the Jewel in October was the syrup. I was told it wasn't maple but some other flavor and they had many complaints about it.

Yes, syrup is still nasty, that's why you need to consume large amounts of assorted pastries to help wash it down.

My son did complain about the "maple syrup" on his pancakes. He refused to eat them and we usually use at home either real maple syrup or even Aunt Jemima. So instead he put chocolate syrup on it (living it up on the cruise!). I liked the fruit compote options at the buffet so I would top my french toast with that instead. Next time I know to smuggle a bottle of real maple syrup on board!

Was just on the Pearl. My grand daughter didn't like it. I tried and yes, it's terrible

If you are all that worried about the syrup take a Canada New England cruise and pick sum up in port.

We just returned from 2 11 day sailings on the NCL Sun... and YES bring your own syrup. The stuff they serve is NASTY we had to throw out our waffles it was so bad

but it did not ruin our cruise we just did not order waffles again.

I just returned from the Jewel today with a group of 37. One of the discussions on the way home was about how bad the syrup tasted. This was a group of 20 and 30 somethings who were our guest and don't read CC so I know they could not have seen the previous threads. I guess it really is bad.

We've picked up 4 bottles of REAL CANADIAN MAPLE SYRUP already for our cruise, LOL. Does anyone need a bottle? I could send you some.

Not sure how far our maple syrup will go if we have 1-2 thousand passengers lining up at our table for a shot of it for their brekky though. I hear Vermont has pretty good Maple Syrup too. :eek:

I am prepared! Have my bottle and so does daughter. I would hate to do without the good pancakes and waffles.

One week from today we will be sailing down the mighty Mississippi.

This is for Mike in San Diego.

A loaded question or complex question fallacy is a question which contains a controversial or unjustified assumption ( e.g., a presumption of nastiness).

Do suite passengers who have breakfast at Cagney's get lousy syrup too?

I've heard that the sugar-free is still okay. I'll find out next week! ;)

If it's not, I'll use some fruit 'soup' on my waffles, french toast or pancakes.

Do suite passengers who have breakfast at Cagney's get lousy syrup too?

I've read recently that the syrup is the same for the suites (Cagney's/Haven) as in the MDR's and Buffets ...it's why we're taking our own. Seriously... crazy I know...

I am not picky about my syrup (yes I do use store brands sometimes)...but the syrup was HORRIBLE. I could not eat the pancakes or waffles if I put the syrup on it. There was sugar-free on board the Epic that looked to be Smuckers brand. I opted for the fruit on top of the waffles - or just chose other things for breakfast. I have never had such bad syrup!

I am seriously interested in knowing what syrup they are using and why it is so vile. The reviews seem to be universally ...... unenthusiastic.
