snc_cam Posted October 19, 2014 #28 Share Posted October 19, 2014 :) interesting about having some while deciding what to have for lunch, but I save that room for the cheesecake and choc cake for lunch desserts (3 pieces) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNJCruisers Posted October 19, 2014 #29 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I'm trying to visualize the position one would have to be in in order to reach the spouts. :eek: Check your memory bank for when you used to go "under the tap" in college.

Lerin Posted October 19, 2014 #31 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I'm not at all a Carnival cheerleader and in fact don't care if I return to CCL or not. However, I've NEVER witnessed any poor or disgusting behavior around the soft serve(or anywhere on the ships for that matter). My family eats it a lot and have found it good and the area clean. Couple more suggestions though: -We put it in a cup to make root beer or coke floats -We bring our own toppings (m&ms, gummy bears, sprinkles, nuts...) to make sundaes. :) Not only is it more delicious but we always get stopped by people asking where we got our candy toppings from. Once in awhile I'll have extra to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzlover7 Posted October 19, 2014 #32 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Toppings ...... add a generous swirl of vanilla soft serve to a cup of coffee then pour in a nice shot of Bailey's. Best ice-cream treat ever. ;) . Now that's my kind of ice cream! I take my baileys on every cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzin Posted October 19, 2014 #33 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I find that an ice cream cone is a great appetizer while checking out the buffet, deciding what I want for lunch. Then another one after lunch. Then, mid-afternoon when I accidentally walk through the buffet area. And, then after the evening shows. Heck, I can't think of any time not to stop by for a quick ice cream fix. Yes, I do enjoy the ice cream on a cruise!!! LOL....that sounds about right! 😊 Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or...fill a coffee mug with vanilla soft serve, skipping the coffee, then pour in a nice shot of Bailey's. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nana&gpa Posted October 19, 2014 #36 Share Posted October 19, 2014 My husband makes it his personal goal to see how many he can eat in one cruise.. his number so far for our last 7 day cruise was 79... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyfrazee Posted October 19, 2014 #37 Share Posted October 19, 2014 May sound nasty to some but I normally get either strawberry or vanilla and add raisins from the salad bar. As far as mouths directly on the machine, I've never seen it on all my cruises. I guess they must take a chair over to the machine or they are very tall.

Our last cruise was on Royal Caribbean and I missed the 24/7 ice cream the most. It was only open 9am to 6 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domino D Posted October 20, 2014 #43 Share Posted October 20, 2014 My son doesn't like ice cream, but he loves just eating the cones! As I recall they are cake cones, right? I'd be with him if they were waffle or sugar cones, but I don't think I would eat a cake cone without ice cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeMo Posted October 20, 2014 #45 Share Posted October 20, 2014 We sometimes pack our favorite toppings, Chocolate, caramel, pineapple, etc. in our checked luggage. Never had a problem setting up our own little sundae shop at our table on the lido deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jana60 Posted October 20, 2014 #47 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Yes it's a self serve soft ice cream machine. It's located on the lido deck by the pool, tucked around the corner from the burger grill on one side and whatever the steam tables are on the opposite side. No toppings. Oh, and there's also frozen yogurt. There will be chocolate, vanilla and strawberry which the rotate through each day. I've been on 18 Carnival Cruises and another 10 or so cruises on other cruise lines that also have ice cream dispensers and yet I have never seen what you describe.
