Rare Kinkacruiser Posted August 12, 2016 #26 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I have no problem paying for a top quality ice cream. It's very moorish and lots better than the free stuff.( It's better value for the double scoop too ;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted August 12, 2016 #27 Share Posted August 12, 2016 The Diamond Princess, (I think Golden Princess) and the Emerald Princess should have the Elite Lounge. Will let you know about the Emerald Princess, during our cruise :) Likewise for the Golden.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted August 12, 2016 #28 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Likewise for the Golden.:D Golden had the Elite Lounge on the April repo cruise. They used Skywalkers, blocking the whole access walkway off as well. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSWP Posted August 13, 2016 Author #30 Share Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) Good morning again Sports Fans !! So I worked it out, an ice cream loving couple on Sun Princess, current 104 day 'Worldie,' right? Now they have to pay $5 each for a NZ ice cream= $10 per day a couple. So for the entire cruise a daily ice cream up on deck will cost them around $1000. Crikey, fair suck of the sav, put the freebie soft serve back on !! Pax are paying heaps for those 'Worldies.'

Will let you know about the Emerald Princess, during our cruise :) Yes, those ships have the Elite Lounge, even when here just for the season. Wife and Grand Daughter were on Diamond in January, gave the Elite Lounge @ Sky Walkers a work out. On Island Princess in November, Elite Lounge is in Explorers Lounge. We shall pay a visit or three, as you do. Edited August 13, 2016 by NSWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our first cruise was on the Pcific Princess, now they had some nice ice cream in the MDR but no where to get an ice cream cone, when we got to Melbourne, we were both ready to kill for a nice ice cream cone, couldn't find anywhere, asked at the information booth in the city centre the best they could suggest was Coles or woollies, fortunately when we got to Hobart a few days later we found somewhere, funny sometimes you get a real craving.

GUT2407 Posted August 13, 2016 #38 Share Posted August 13, 2016 It has my vote. It is one of the things Celebrity do better than Princess. But the Ice Cream bar still owes me 5kg from last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportfisher Posted August 13, 2016 #44 Share Posted August 13, 2016 We did 42 days on the Sea a Princess this year. The ice creams were not free but we were able on some occasions to order a double served in two cones so we had one each at a big discount. Also you can use your coffee card to purchase ice creams and shakes etc. Again a good discount. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuldalai Posted August 13, 2016 #45 Share Posted August 13, 2016 The smart way around the bean counters just go to MDR and order two scoops of icecream. Flavours vary daily . Nothing on a cruise ship is free, inclusive YES but free definitely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to try all the flavours, quality control you know, someone has to do it, so the Food and Beverage Manager gave me the job, LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPantsOz Posted August 14, 2016 #48 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Don't forget that you can use a coffee card punch for an ice cream scoop. There's some savings to be had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee flavoured ice cream is one of my favourites, they have that sometimes in the MDR. I have a triple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
