colonialinnkeeper Posted August 4, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Just read about the Chocolate Parade that is offered on the last Gala night of each sailing. The article said that this has been implemented fleet wide. Has it truly started and has anyone experienced it? Any reviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted August 4, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 4, 2017 There are a few posts about it in the sticky at the top of the page. You might want to check those out. We didn't have it on my recent Prinsendam cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue from Canada Posted August 4, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Just read about the Chocolate Parade that is offered on the last Gala night of each sailing. The article said that this has been implemented fleet wide. Has it truly started and has anyone experienced it? Any reviews? Just got off the Amsterdam this past Monday and we had the chocolate parade. The crew carried numerous trays of chocolate goodies around deck 5 (Upper Promenade) and it was a crowded (and sticky) affair. Not impressed.

colonialinnkeeper Posted August 4, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Thanks, Ruth and Sue, I guess I missed the sticky info. Some of the goodies noted in the article sounded as if they would be too messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacto Rick Posted August 4, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 4, 2017 That sounds great. I remember having a Midnight Chocolate Buffet on a cruise years ago. It was pretty cool but to be honest, I was so full from eating all day and night, I couldn't dig in. I guess that's a good thing! Anyway, a chocolate parade. Count me in.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see this happen, nor was it in the "Where and When". Was it in the dining room? What time did it happen? I sure missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted August 4, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I would like a Chocolate Parade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelbearmom Posted August 4, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Just read about the Chocolate Parade that is offered on the last Gala night of each sailing. The article said that this has been implemented fleet wide. Has it truly started and has anyone experienced it? Any reviews? So, if we're on 3 back to back cruises do we get the chocolate parade 3 times? My mom and I had just been talking how on none of her last 3 cruises there hadn't been any desert extravaganza or ice sculptures. This is very welcome news.

rkacruiser Posted August 4, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Just got off the Amsterdam this past Monday and we had the chocolate parade. The crew carried numerous trays of chocolate goodies around deck 5 (Upper Promenade) and it was a crowded (and sticky) affair. Not impressed. Off the January 3rd sailing of the Amsterdam and I am not aware of this being available. But, I wonder: approximately what time did this "parade" take place? I enjoyed a truly wonderful late seating dining room table and often we did not leave the dining room until 10:15 P.M. or a bit later. One evening, our table was literally the last ones out! Maybe it was offered and I simply missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren and John Posted August 6, 2017 #13 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I didn't see this happen, nor was it in the "Where and When". Was it in the dining room? What time did it happen? I sure missed it. I was called something like "Chocolate Surprise," and it was mentioned in the Where and When. I didn't know what it would be, so I went to check it out. At least 5 or 6 different waiters walked around the deck with large trays of chocolate goodies. I thought it was lovely, although I was too full from dinner to try anything.

veryseasonedtraveler Posted August 6, 2017 #14 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I was enjoying the piano bar on the Amsterdam when the parade went by. Love surprises. It was such a nice touch at the end of another great HAL cruise. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETinCA Posted August 6, 2017 #15 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Wife and daughter were on Eurodam this past week and they had the parade. They thought it was less than thrilling or organized. A few small desserts with about 10 people carrying trays through deck 3. Seems like more or a lido type event. They love chocolate but were underwhelmed.
