SeaTheW0r1d Posted April 2, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 2, 2019 While on Diviana today (02APR19) waiting in Marseille for the crowds to clear, some staff rolled this thing out. I thought it might be the takeaway ice cream included in my package. I asked one of the staff if it was. He said "there is no takeaway ice cream". Twenty days of something I paid for, but never received. Buyer beware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kateann61414 Posted April 2, 2019 #5 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Last time I was on the Divina it was. There’s probably just confusion with all the new drink packages. Which one do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should say "machine is out of order, but we are substituting gelato" but they don't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kateann61414 Posted April 2, 2019 #7 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Ohhh that’s one of the new packages. The old ones it was the Gelato. That’s dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kateann61414 Posted April 2, 2019 #8 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Found this. It says “soft icecream” for the new ones and “take away icecream” for the old ones. That’s kinda sneaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soft serve Ice cream or subted for gelato, ICE CREAM is one of the perks Of the Non-Alc Package, and one of the reasons many people buy it. Unfortunately, there are few fellow poster who actually buy this package, to give different experiences in different ships. Anyone who has recently sailed on The Meraviglia and was able to get ICE CREAM? what kind of? JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s kinda sneaky. As of this, I will be sailing on the Meraviglia, and in my MSC for Me App the description of the Atmosphere Ice Cream Bar reads: "This pool-side gourmet ice cream bar offers... ...six flavours of delicious soft ice-cream and fresh fruit treats, as well as tropical and frozen drinks and coladas." So both descriptions (N-A package and Atmosphere IC Bar) call the product "soft ice cream" (not soft serve ice cream or gelato). Therefore, any ice cream in this bar is included in that package.

Kateann61414 Posted April 2, 2019 #11 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Now I’m really curious so I looked: For the Seaside, Miami Beach bar in the MSC for Me app it’s “Italian artistian ice cream from Venchi” and in the Venchi bar it’s called Gelato. There’s nothing anywhere about soft ice cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Cruisergal1208 Posted April 2, 2019 #14 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Yes, all food in buffets are free. Think self serve type of soft ice cream. Edited April 2, 2019 by Cruisergal1208 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The day I did go to get one, the server didn't know how to use the machine! AND the free gelato was too frozen to serve, too. I never did bother after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaTheW0r1d Posted April 9, 2019 Author #22 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I filled out my post-cruise survey yesterday. I mentioned the missing take away ice cream, though I doubt it will do any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
