Butterbean1000 Posted November 14, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 14, 2023 We haven't cruised since Covid cancel 3 of our cruises. Is there still self serve ice cream? If so, do they still have strawberry yogurt? We cruise the Magic this May. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainbowflag Posted November 14, 2023 #3 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Both versions are frozen dessert products as shown in these labels. The machines are no longer open 24 hours: opens at 11am and closes at 12am. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

five. Posted November 15, 2023 #5 Share Posted November 15, 2023 They also have two flavors of gelato at lido during the lunch hours. Picture here. I found the lido gelato to be better quality than the soft serve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

five. Posted November 15, 2023 #7 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I know for sure Horizon has it. Recently been on more HAL than Carnival so I can't say 100% if it's fleet wide. But I was thinking it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fill a drink glass about 1/2 full then top off with lemonade. Oh my, very refreshing. If no strawberry, the vanilla will work with the lemonade. Like a lemonade shake. joe/jack, could you also see if that gelato is also on Magic's Lido area? Friends and I will be on her in January; hoping to try the gelato! Thanks.

The gelato is only served on the Vista Class ships built for the North American market: Vista, Horizon and Panorama. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted November 16, 2023 #11 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Didn't notice strawberry on my last Magic cruise. Only noticed vanilla / chocolate froyo and vanilla /chocolate soft serve. Granted I didn't visit every day so it's very possible they switched out flavors. Carnival used to have a different kind of vanilla soft serve that was very creamy, like Dairy Queen. No longer - it's all the icy stuff that's closer to a Chick-Fil-A icedream. Both are good but I prefer the Dairy Queen consistency stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the picture below; it's "dessert mix," not even allowed to be called ice cream. The first 3 ingredientes are water, corn syrup, and oíl, and all the daily ingredients are powdered.

mz-s Posted November 17, 2023 #15 Share Posted November 17, 2023 No soft serve is actually ice cream by the legal definition of ice cream. It's just colloquially called ice cream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads up - if I am not mistaken, nothing that comes out of a soft serve meets the official definition of ice cream. Not at McDonald's, not at Dairy Queen, not even at Culver's (that's frozen custard, which I think is even better than ice cream).

Chick-fil-a has my favorite milkshakes and they are made of IceDream. I try not to think about what it really is when I'm having one.
