Caribbean Princess IC gelato or not

[klenklen]

Will I be disappointed to find no gelato on board?

You will be disappointed :( Only ships with Gelato at the IC are the Crown, Emerald and Ruby.

I was on it last year and it was not available. Haven't heard otherwise since then. Last month it was offered on the Crown, so maybe they are adding to all ships? Will find out if offered on the Ruby next month

There will be several daily ice cream flavors at lunch and dinner in the DRs though.

Not available. :(

Lots of other things to take away the pain. :)

Thanks for the update, regardless I won't go hungry.

No, but the ice cream place on the Lido deck offers both the whipped stuff as well as the hard ice cream. I'm not sure if it the same thing or not but the hard one did taste slightly better the one day I tried it.

The ice milk :eek: they serve from the machine does not even come close to the real ice cream or gelato.

I think its nasty. :(

It will be on the Ruby.

 

It is not on any ship which had the IC added instead of being a part of the original build.

Ruby, Crown, and Emerald have had it from the beginning.

On some of the ships the machine is set properly so it's not really that bad but the stuff on the CB recently was the worst of all. The hard stuff they kept in the back freezer wasn't to bad. Maybe after the refurbishing it'll hopefully get better.

You will find it but it will not be as large of a selection as on the Royal or Regal. It will cost $1.50 for a three scoop serving. On the Royal we could use a punch on the coffee card for the gelato.

I though they had all the flavors each day. Which ones were missing?

They had 2 cases of gelato made fresh each day and they never sold out of the gelato before closing either. Seems like a big waste of money to discard that much ice cream all the time. The only time they were almost sold out was on the last night when people were using up their coffee card punches.

Did not know that. Is the hard ice cream free? What do you ask for?

Yes, it was also free just like the whipped stuff and it was the first time I've ever see it offered on the Lido deck. They'll ask if you want the soft or hard stuff when ordering. The first 2 times I got the regular whipped stuff & it wasn't all that good so I tried the hard one & it was pretty good (almost like their regular ice cream).

I thought at first it might have just been left over whipped ice cream from the previous day that they put in the freezer.....but it still tasted better.

btw- they also had hard strawberry.
