Thanks for posting these pics! If I'm not mistaken, the fourth photo is of the vanilla soufflé with warm mango pineapple sauce. I enjoyed this dessert on the Star last week and it was surprisingly the best dessert of the week! :) It takes a little longer due to the preparation and well worth the wait! I highly recommend accompanied by a cappuccino.

They used to serve the Souffles several nights a week. If more of us ask, maybe they will bring all those great flavors back! I'll try any flavor, but remember a wonderful chocolate version with a vanilla sauce from years ago.

 

If you are a souffle dessert lover too, go to Caesars Las Vegas Bacchanal Buffet. You have to ask at the dessert counter and they will bake them up fresh for you.

As if being on a cruise, relaxing, spending quality time with loved ones, and seeing amazing sites werent enough to tempt anyone to join an NCL Cruise, this entire thread would put them over the top...dare I say.. its the icing on the cake :D

 

Thank you all for snapping and sharing... I have to wait patiently until October, but I would love to add to this thread as well...

Exactly! We love cruising with a big group of family (11 of us this time, but we've cruised with 25 before), and eating and enjoying together makes it even better! We all look forward to the food.

Would some of you agree that when it comes to presentation, NCL is not very good at it? In some pics they look a bit sloppy. For the record, I value taste more than presentation. :p

 

 

I agree. I've never been impressed with presentation overall on my main courses, at least in the MDR's. Like you though I'm all about the taste and a happy tummy.

Personally, I prefer my food hot if a bit scruffy than cold and pretty.

I've had "pretty food" before (not on NCL, it's usually at a wedding) that doesn't taste good. Either lacking flavor, or not the proper temperature, etc. I'd rather have food that tastes great! Similarly, here at home some of our favorite places to eat look like a tiny hole in the wall but have the best food. It's not always about presentation or ambience, sometimes it really is about the food itself.

Looks better than I would make it at home, and most of the "normal" restaurants around here. Still feels like a five-star to me!!

I noticed your post about GF pizza. My wife and daughter are gluten intolerant. Can you share any more on how the cruise worked for you?
