hrhdhd Posted December 15, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I had a vanilla one on NS a couple of days ago and it had a strange taste. I might try a chocolate one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep trying until they taste right. We're adding liquor to ours to sanitize them in case there are germs. 2 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagarsmoker Posted December 15, 2023 #9 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I had one on the Eurodam last month, chocolate, it tasted like Nestlé quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasick Sailor Posted December 16, 2023 #10 Share Posted December 16, 2023 OK. I am on Rotterdam and our sweet Gelato server Sherwin says they only make milkshakes from ice cream and milk. Nothing added. He says the ice cream he uses is the same as what Lido serves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine (chocolate) was white and the server tried to tell me it was chocolate. I told her it was vanilla and she came back with a cup of chocolate sauce so I could add "more". 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crystalspin Posted December 16, 2023 #13 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I think we will stick with the straight gelato. Not covered by beverage package, but no Quik flavors yet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not covered by beverage package, but no Quik flavors yet! And a bargain - recent cruise on NS, 2 scoops (smallest they would do) cost me $2.36 and $2.60. No idea why the difference, but for $2.50ish, I thought gelato was a tasty bargain. Oh, I'm talking straight up gelato, not the shakes, oops.🫣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveOKC Posted December 16, 2023 #15 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Last month on Eurodam at the Dive In. Included in HIA package. Not bad, but certainly not great IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navybikermom Posted December 16, 2023 #16 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Can they make malts? I dearly love malts, but a regular shake will do in a pinch ☺️. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish that same quality product was available on other HAL ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKJonesy Posted December 17, 2023 #19 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I give credit where credit is due, but they don't have the milkshake thing down. Sorry, but I previously came from the dairy state and anything less than premium ice cream and whole milk doesn't cut it. I got one and could not drink it...tasted like fake syrup or powder. Yuk.

Blackduck59 Posted December 17, 2023 #20 Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) I don't understand how a milkshake could be so hard. When I was a child (in the 60s) any number of places made milkshakes and for the most part the multimixer was operated by teenagers scooping hard ice cream into a metal cup, adding syrup and milk a mixing it up. The thick luscious mixture was was poured in a glass, topped with whipped cream and a cherry. the extra in the metal mixer can came on the side. Milkshakes are not rocket science, the key is lots of ice cream and just enough milk to get it to mix. If booze is to be added it should be while it is being made. Make it a feature by the Lido bar, "The Milkshake Shack" complete with vintage Hamilton Beach of Multimixer machines and the metal mixing cups.
