Donna Byerly Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 I'm leaving on Symphony OS in 30 days. I looked at new menus and don't see Creme Brule on any of the nights. That's my FAVORITE dessert. Do they offer it on a 7 day cruise now? I'm hoping so. AJSteele and ScottD 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its is on French night; you may have missed it because the original run of the new menus only had the Chefs Recommendations on the top of the menu, but they fixed it and now have the items on the top and main part of the menu....

Maggie M Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 I can't imagine that they would take the CB away - it is like a staple dessert! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 I'm going to guess creme brule isn't as popular for the masses despite it being very popular among those who like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJSteele Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 I am disappointed it isn’t offered every night. It used to be and I’d get 2 every night! Amazing dessert. Better than France! Al Miller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - so bland... I know @melmar02 also holds this opinion, so maybe not as unpopular as you think! My oldest teen makes Crème Brûlée every time the grandparents visit and that recipe is amazing, so I'm spoiled, but I think I would still not enjoy Royal's regardless.

I know that it's tough to make very large batches, but I've had it at many places where its cooked in large amounts that still make it well, so they really don't have an excuse. I too make a really good creme brûlée. Not only does the cream steep with the vanilla, I add orange zest as well. So good! jbrinkm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrinkm Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 There's another dessert on the menu that isn't called Crème Brûlée but is essentially exactly the same thing and tastes identical. If I'm remembering correctly, it is the Crema Catalana. tingtang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crema catalana (at least MDR version since I never tried it anywhere else) is much much heavier consistency than creme brulee and about 10 time sweeter. I couldn't have more than a spoon and a half (the half was just to confirm the first spoon..) Sent it back. They also took off the menu the apple blossom which I used to order almost every night.

It was pretty annoying because we don't do MDR lunch since we don't like to spend so much time in restaurants throughout the day. We generally only do MDR in the evenings but the apple blossom was an exception. I also saw it daily on some recent Coastal Kitchen menus - but that's for the upper class not for us steerage folks.. deButler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimnKathy Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 One hack I use to upgrade the Creme Brule is to ask the waiter to give me different fresh fruit slices on the side...blueberries, raspberries and cantaloupe are my favs. I just ask the waiter to bring out what he/she thinks is the most in season option and away I go.

The picture above is what I was served as "Crema Catalana" in April (I did a live blog), and to all 4 of my family members, it tasted identical to the Crème Brulé - maybe the chef didn't know how to make it or some other situation came up. I've never had it anywhere else either. I agree about the apple crumble - mine tasted like they used rancid oil.
