BallFour4 Posted May 1, 2016 #26 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) John Heald has started asking questions about the "free" 24 hour ice cream over on FB. As a follower of his page I have learned that when he starts this it means nothing good for passengers. It usually means: 1. Start charging for it. 2. Take it away totally. 3. Limit the time of access. What do you think. I think you are pot stirring. John asks questions all the time, today he asked several. There is no indication that ice cream and yogurt are going away. None. You asked... . Edited May 1, 2016 by BallFour4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatloafsfan Posted May 1, 2016 #27 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I was told that its actually frozen yogurt. They have both ice cream and frozen yogurt. It states on the top of the machine which it is. I prefer the ice cream to the frozen yogurt taste wise but I think the strawberry flavour is only in the frozen yogurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ice milk with copious amounts of chemical additives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanmarcosman Posted May 1, 2016 #31 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) Carrageenan is a sea-weed derived product used to make glue and is also used as a frozen pizza topping made famous in a TV ad from the 80s "GLUUUUE?" The yogurt comes in chocolate and vanilla as well as strawberry and is subject to availability. Edited May 1, 2016 by sanmarcosman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limit the time of access. What do you think. OP, I agree with you totally. Given the trend of Carnival looking to cut cost in various areas, they could save money by limiting access to the soft serve and froyo. If memory serves me correctly, one of JH's quick fire questions had to do with the "pillow chocolates" before they disappeared. Your skepticism is indeed warranted.

You know what, you guys are on to something big. Today he mentioned 24 hour ice cream, lemon aide on Lido, trivia games, lunch on lido, coffee on lido, ice tea on lido, and anytime dining. That means they will absolutely eliminate or charge for all of these because that's what Carnival does. Or maybe he was jut talking about these. Let me think which makes more sense.......

bakersdozen12 Posted May 1, 2016 #34 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Great, now John's next post is going to be "I want to set the record straight. Despite the rumors over on Cruise Critic, we are NOT going to start charging for ice cream." Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it when they had the Vista announcement in New York. Pretty good. This is hard serve ice cram and has nothing to do with the soft serve.

JonathanFlorida Posted May 2, 2016 #40 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Well they installed a 24 hour ice cream machine in the Family Harbor Lounge on Vista so I don't see it going away. His question was in response to a lady having a hissy fit that her kids would have access to it at all times of the day and night. It's called poor parenting and nothing more. I am sure this is just too simple, but, why doesn't that lady just tell her kids they are not allowed to eat ice cream at all times of the day and night? I guess that is what you mean by poor parenting, it is just baffling to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Carnival cut everything he asks questions about, Carnival would be a minimalist cruise by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elaine5715 Posted May 2, 2016 #50 Share Posted May 2, 2016 What spectacular thing does NCL do? You are a minority on the ice cream machine. It's soft serve, and always available. I'd sure miss that treat if they took it away and Carnival is known for that feature. Probably meant better ice cream..The soft serve on board is poor quality.. l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
