I had a waffle cone on the Equinox in late February 2020 with my FREE gelato.  I went with strawberry.  

I loved the Hazelnut and raspberry gelato but they were not always available. Was getting tired of MDR desserts so gelato was a nice alternative.

Do they make waffle cones one at a time or do they come out of a box?  Haven't tried them really.

They make the waffle cones at the Gelateria. You can smell them being made.

I should have said there’s a charge for waffle cone unless in top suites 

No charge if you ask for your complimentary scoop of gelato in a waffle cone.

Never took them up on it, consider it a pathetic insulting "perk" - now if it was per person per day it would be worth something and at negligible cost to Celebrity

Hey don't spoil the fun.  I'll take it if it's free.  Good way to get repeat customers.

BigAl said that.  Why is my name on the quote???

[keesar]

My favorite flavors are raspberry and coconut.  The waffles cones are made on site and you can smell them being made.

Sorry I copied it from quote #105. If you are offended have the mods remove it.

I'm not offended.  I just want us to be correct and not misquoted.

I agree. I get myself in enough trouble around here without someone else putting words in my mouth. 🤣

I want that afogato.  I guess they charge a dollar or two for the espresso? 

It is included in the Classic Beverage Package and thus now in the Always Included fares.

 

In the past, if you did not have a beverage package you could purchase the Affogato for around $5 or $6 plus the gratuity.

I think I remember getting ice cream in a waffle cone in the Oceanview Cafe too.  Or maybe not.  Does anybody remember?

[Texed]

I like waffle cones also.  😋

[keesar]

I only recall the cake (wafer) cones in the Oceanview.   I have recalled them being available in the Gelateria.

Well, there should be a "blu" carpet for those of us in Aqua class.

Elite and above shouldn't have to wait in line at all. Personal service. 😁

Are you sure?  I thought it is considered specialty coffee so you need to have Premium Beverage Package not just Classic.

IMO----The line for Elite and above will be longer than the one for folks with lesser " status ".

LOL--- When we " graduated " to Elite we thought it was " really something " until we couldn't get a seat in the Sky Lounge 5 minutes after opening.

Is "specialty coffee" different from "premium coffee"? The Classic or Premium packages both list "premium", but I found no reference to "specialty."

If Celebrity was really All-Inclusive they'd include unlimited gelato in the price. 😃

Just a note: The servers at the Gelato station are normally new hires. One server was a newly minted lawyer from Ukraine and the vast majority do an excellent job.
