harbourside Posted August 30, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Is Swirl and Top just frozen yogurt or is there a soft serve icecream option 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAtravelbug Posted August 30, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Frozen yogurt. Usually two flavors per machine and you can chose either/or or combine. Assuming they are operational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted August 30, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Frozen yoghurt is so last year. Azamara should license genuine Carvel soft icecream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisiamc Posted August 30, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 30, 2022 The Swirl and Top seems to bring out the little kid in everyone! I don’t eat either these days, but I always thought the regular gelato was delicious. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare uktog Posted August 30, 2022 #7 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I actually love the fact the swirl and top is yogurt but if I want a gelato fix (and lisiamc is correct its very very good) and some swirl toppings I go and top my gelato - which I tell myself is additional much needed exercise moving between the two stations. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing is its Windows food time only and it's sometimes nice to get a frozen yogurt fix at other times. Phil 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Maybe an experiment but on quest last month gelato was 12-5 so it aligned with patio opening time. You’re right gelato was popular 3-4 ish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiniShakenBake Posted August 30, 2022 #10 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Am I understanding this right: Gelato is available all afternoon, every day? September 16 cannot come soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gelato is only avaiable in Windows dessert area during lunch hours 12:30-2:30 ish. Also available at Dinner with limited flavors. Swirl and top (frozen Yogurt) is avaiable when Patio open for Lunch and Dinner (and hours inbetween). If Patio not open for dinner, I think Swirl and top closes at either 5 or 8 PM, but certainly available for afternoon 3-4 PM snack.

They had Guernsey cattle from the neighbouring island and she said the milk from them was really good. And the Guernsey cattle also benefit from an excellent temperament.

When I first emigrated to the UK, in 1994, it was a big deal to advertise ice cream as “Real Dairy Ice Cream”. I hesitate to think what it might have been made from if it didn’t involve any real dairy ingredients. 😳 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
