bluekrush Posted August 9, 2006 #1 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Ok i have a big sweet tooth and I have been hearing not so great things about desserts on cruises. I'm going to cruise carnival. I've heard the room service brownies are good but are they really chocolately I like strong chocolate flavor and less sweet. So all you fellow sweet lovers tell me which were your favorite desserts. I don't want to waste calories on bad desserts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbarah33 Posted August 9, 2006 #2 Share Posted August 9, 2006 For me it's all about the soufflés on any cruise. (Though I really can't remember if Carnival offers them any night.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted August 9, 2006 #3 Share Posted August 9, 2006 The cookies and brownies from room service are pretty good, not the best I've ever had, but good. I love all the French pastries, especially at lunch in the dining room. For dessert at evening meals, I like the Guava Cheese Napoleon, Hazelnut Creme Brulee`, and the Cappuccino Pie.

Palm Treez Posted August 11, 2006 #4 Share Posted August 11, 2006 The best dining room desserts: Lavender iced souffle (different but good) Milk chocolate champagne truffle cake Bitter chocolate melting cake Bitter and blanc Chestnut napoleon Chocolate millefeuille Grand Marnier souffle All of the Napoleons from the buffet were good also.

pounder207 Posted August 12, 2006 #5 Share Posted August 12, 2006 My wife is a true dessert person. She loves Carnival largely because of the desserts. When she has doubts about which to chose, she just orders one of each. The chocolate millefeuille is my personal favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekrush Posted August 22, 2006 Author #6 Share Posted August 22, 2006 god they all sound so good. I'm going to gain so much weight :( So it sounds like the best deserts are in the dinning room except for the decent room service treats and the napoleons at the buffet. Is there anything else at the buffet that I shouldn't miss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guineverekay Posted August 23, 2006 #7 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I was on the Fascination a couple of weeks ago and here's what I tried desert wise and how it stacked up :) The room service cookies were not awful...about like you'd get from the grocery store bakery. The room service brownies were awful, completely inedible. My sister said that the room service chocolate cake was really good, so rich that she couldn't actually finish the ginormous slice they brought her. At the buffet, the cheesecake was good, the chocolate sushi was interesting and the chocolate ice cream swans were cute but pretty bland. In the dining room, the roasted pineapple was amazing, the grand marnier souffle was really good and the black forest something or another was basically just chocolate and cherry ice cream. There were probably other things that I tried a bite of, but I can't remember what they were. I guess that means they weren't so great or terrible as to be memorable.

gizzy15@iowatelecom.net Posted August 25, 2006 #8 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Okay, has anyone out there ever had the carmelized pineapple on the Disney Wonder? It is to die for! Gotta try it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotton Posted September 15, 2006 #12 Share Posted September 15, 2006 ... the napoleons at the buffet. The Napoleons I had were in the dining room. I never have meals from the buffet, so don't know what they offer there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runner1909 Posted October 1, 2006 #13 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I see you're sailing on Carnival, but I just had to throw in my 2 cents about my favorite dessert EVER on a cruise--the Grand Marnier souffle on the Grandeur of the Seas. Just thinking about it makes me crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepauls93 Posted October 15, 2006 #14 Share Posted October 15, 2006 The best dining room desserts:Lavender iced souffle (different but good) Milk chocolate champagne truffle cake Bitter chocolate melting cake Bitter and blanc Chestnut napoleon Chocolate millefeuille Grand Marnier souffle All of the Napoleons from the buffet were good also. I am not much of a dessert fan, but the The Grand Marnier souffle on CCL is the absolute yummiest best. I order 2 of these when I see them on the menu. I'd order more, but I am so full by then I can barely get them down. Actually the night they have this dessert I love them so much I sometimes FEEL like saying (4 cruises so far) just bring me 6 of them 2 for my app. 2 for my main course and 2 for my dessert. I haven't done it yet, but there is always next time. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiverDownAZ Posted November 5, 2006 #15 Share Posted November 5, 2006 My personal favorite is the chocolate souffle with Grand Marnier sauce Oh yah, this was good. No Awesome. Must be an arizona thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarallen Posted November 20, 2006 #16 Share Posted November 20, 2006 My wife loves the souffles on Carnival. She also loves the dessert Crepes at the midnight buffet. I do enjoy a lot of the desserts. But one place that has some of the best desserts can be found at the coffee cafe shop. I once got a slice of Carrott Cake. Ordered another one just to take back to the room. My last cruise I did not care for the desserts served on lunch up on lido deck. Best desserts always have come from dinning room.

EggDropErin Posted November 22, 2006 #17 Share Posted November 22, 2006 When we sailed on Inspiration a couple of years ago, they had this little cafe area where you had to pay extra for some things. I didn't mind though because the strawberry cheesecake they had there was sooooo good!!! Not to mention the cute little tuxedo strawberries they had.

pdsmom Posted November 26, 2006 #18 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I usually LOVE brownies, but couldn't stand the ones from room service on the Carnival Glory. I actually only had one bite and threw the rest away. That's almost unheard of from me.:eek: I have to say that I love the creme brulee. I only eat it while on a cruise. Does anyone know if it is served on the Sensation's three night cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkloni Posted December 6, 2006 #19 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Grand Marnier Souffle - my absolute favorite (Hot) Flourless Chocolate Cake - very yummy!!! - Just had it on Carnival's Fantasy at a luncheon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeggySand Posted January 11, 2007 #20 Share Posted January 11, 2007 We recently returned from an 8-night cruise on the Carnival Spirit. The BEST dessert I have EVER had on a cruise ship was the Warm Chololate Melting Cake served with a scoop of Vanilla ice cream!!! This was on the Alternative Menu in the Dining Room every night of the cruise...... okay, I had more than my share of them!! Thank goodness I will have it again in less than three weeks on our Paradise cruise. Also, the Key Lime Pie was VERY good and the always available sherberts were also very good. Enjoy!!

Too blessed to be stressed Posted January 16, 2007 #21 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I wonder if around lunch time, if I could just go to the dinning room and order dessert? My husband would not want to eat at the dinning room for lunch but maybe dessert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORDONCHICK Posted January 19, 2007 #22 Share Posted January 19, 2007 My vote on Carnival is for the Bitter Blanc (eat fresh in the dining room - not good after taken back to your cabin) and Grand Marnier Souffle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphakitty Posted January 19, 2007 #23 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I also enjoyed the Creme Brule and the Melting chocolate cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
