crusing48/51 Posted January 4, 2015 #126 Share Posted January 4, 2015 We like to get the hot chocolate on the lido deck and add soft serve to it. Instant frozen hot chocolate' date=' lido deck style! I did this on our last cruise and loved it! I'm going to try the orange juice and soft serve this cruise. I also am a fan of the turkey Reuben, or as I call it, the blonde Reuben. Great thread!!

mehitabel Posted January 4, 2015 #127 Share Posted January 4, 2015 The first night, the melting cake was a little unbalanced with flavors. I added a dash of table salt and that made it perfect! On one of the other nights, another guest at our table ordered the melting cake with butter pecan instead of vanilla ice cream--WOW. So good. Goodness only knows what amazingly delicious sludge you can concoct from the afternoon buffet (nacho chips, melted cheese, chicken tenders, fries, etc.). My sister and I had a pretty good go at it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misplaced Floridan Posted January 4, 2015 #128 Share Posted January 4, 2015 When you order your WCMC in the MDR ask for a scoop of peanut butter on it. Soooo good. Woah, that's next level stuff right there. I will absolutely be doing this on my cruise this spring. Peanut butter is my weakness. Adding chocolate = game over.

happy cruzin Posted January 4, 2015 #129 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Woah, that's next level stuff right there. I will absolutely be doing this on my cruise this spring. Peanut butter is my weakness. Adding chocolate = game over. Not a HUGE fan of WCMC - but I think I will have to try BOTH ways - the peanut butter one night and the butter pecan ice cream another. Maybe I just haven't had the right combination yet!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misplaced Floridan Posted January 4, 2015 #130 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Mmm there are some great ideas in this thread. I haven't tried this yet but I'm think of getting a roll from the deli with just lettuce tomato and mayo and then going up to the fish and chips station and getting some fried oysters to make a simple oyster po boy :D Sent from my Xoom using Forums mobile app What a great thread! I absolutely love this idea and will try this too. I'm in the middle of trying to lose an additional 50 pounds by my May cruise (10 pounds down as of now). First reason is I want to look good for all of the honeymoon pictures, but a close second reason is to do all of these fun things guilt free.

Maybe I just haven't had the right combination yet!! ;) Same here. The WCMC is ok but there are a ton of other deserts that I'd rather have. But the peanut butter idea is too good to pass up. The butter pecan will be amazing as well I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thephillykid Posted January 4, 2015 #132 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I get an omelette in the morning at the lido buffet with veggies and bacon then I go to the Blue Iguana Cantina and top it with fresh salsa, quest fresco and some medium hot sauce. It makes a great breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandnurse Posted January 5, 2015 #133 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Some of our creations: (visiting various stations for toppings) - Chili Cheese Nachos nachos from grill, toppings from grill and buffet - Chicken Cheese Nachos same as above - Chili Cheese Fries same as above - Bacon Cheese Burger (when no guy burger on ship) on sea days, get bacon from late risers grill and add to burger from grill on other side of the deck. - Cookies and Ice Cream - Brownies and Ice Cream - I prefer the shredded cheese from the toppings bars (when available) on my salads over the cubes provided on the salad bar. - Fried Chicken fingers from grill on salad - We prefer our ice cream in a coffee mug rather than the small bowls. Holds more and provides a handle. Can't wait to try the hot chocolate and ice cream and several of the other tips on here. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeekSquad4 Posted January 5, 2015 #135 Share Posted January 5, 2015 OMG, it's past midnight here, and this thread is making me hungry! :D I'm definitely inspired though. Has anyone tried the wine ice cream from Mercer's? I'm thinking if I order a glass of dry red I could pour it over some soft serve for a nice wine shake kind of deal. Sounds like the perfect pool drink! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Tacos Posted January 5, 2015 #136 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Not a fan of the coffee at the buffet but found if I did 1/2 hot chocolate and 1/2 coffee I was able to get my morning fix. Where do you get the hot chocolate? I don't remember seeing it. Sent from my SM-G900V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted January 5, 2015 #137 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Where do you get the hot chocolate? I don't remember seeing it. Sent from my SM-G900V using Forums mobile app The HC machine is right next to the coffee machines. The HC has a clear container on top, the coffee's is solid.

fireofficer5 Posted January 5, 2015 #138 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I always add a slice of cheddar cheese to the grits, too! Don't forget to add the bacon to the grits. The wetter the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kteachcruiser52 Posted January 6, 2015 #139 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Chocolate milk from the breakfast buffet -- mix with vanilla soft-serve = great milkshake (and free) :o Soft vanilla ice cream and hot chocolate.

Ahays00 Posted March 14, 2016 #145 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Right before they close lido breakfast grab a banana, scoop of peanut butter. Break the banana up top with vanilla icecream. Enjoy !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okgirl Posted March 14, 2016 #146 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I didn't read back through the whole thread, but in addition to my previous post about WCMC and the Cheese Plate (I enjoy the sweet and savory together. On ships with both a Guys and a Cucina. I stop by the Guys and get a small dish of bacon to take upstairs and add to my pasta bowl that's made with alfredo sauce. It's a close approximation to Pasta Carbonara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncleg Posted March 14, 2016 #147 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I do that but with the cheese plate. LOL, I order cheddar cheese to mix in CMC. Sounds odd but you can't beat chocolate and cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
