Sprinkles

[butterfly2]

Does Mariner still have Sprinkles inside the ship, on the Promenade Deck, near Ben & Jerry's? In case you do not know what Sprinkles is, it is a self serve frozen ice cream/frozen yogurt machiene. It was there last year when we sailed in April and was opened till about midnight each night. I have heard rumors that this has been removed. Is this true? If so, is there another Fro/Yo self serve machiene on the ship? If so, where is it located?, And what hours does it operate?

Thanks!

No. It wasn't there when we were on the Mariner in Sept 2005.

 

Sorry.

 

There still have free soft serve ice creme up by the pool decks.

They removed Sprinkles at the end of 2004. It was too messy and people were slipping and sliding from the spilled ice cream etc. There is frozen yogurt outside of the windjammer on the pool deck... We just returned from the Grandeur and they had the frozen yogurt machine inside of the Windjammer and someone serving you!:cool:

Someone asked why Sprinkles was removed at the "Ask the Captain" session on our cruise. We were told it was a matter of economics - it wasn't profitable for Sprinkles to be located right next to Ben & Jerry's. There is self serve frozed yogurt on the pool deck. It opens at noon every day (although sometimes it opened a bit earlier).

Just as a note to answer any questions, It is removed on ALL Voyager Class ships now. Again, Next to ben and jerry's probabally wasn't the best spot for it.

At least we finally got the true answer... that it was an economic decision. People on these boards are always trying to read more into it just like with JR's surcharge. Economics, that is the bottom line.

Do you have to pay for Ben & Jerry's?

[butterfly2]

Yes, there is a charge for Ben & Jerry's.

[Ocean Boy]

Quite a hefty one, too, considering the little scoop you get.

Yes, that does seem like poor planning.
