Actually your room steward will supply your cabin with ice., Daily and more often if needed.. No charge.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakechef Posted July 28, 2008 #3 Share Posted July 28, 2008 yes you will have an ice bucket upon arrival, and the room steward will keep it filled for you usually tending to it in the morning and evening, more if you need it. We use a lot of ice so we asked our stewardess to keep it full to the top and she did! MAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logbook Posted July 28, 2008 #4 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I've never seen where you can go and get your own ice, has anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktac Posted July 28, 2008 #5 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I've never seen where you can go and get your own ice, has anyone else? Depends on the ship....sometimes you can see the ice machine in the crew area if they leave the door open. Other times you will not know where it is. Easier to get on the phone and call for some if you run out and need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenMo Posted July 28, 2008 #6 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I used to get my own ice.....fill up my collapseable cooler. The last few cruises I've asked the stewards where the ice machine is. They don't seem to want to tell me. But they keep my cooler full....no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyzoo Posted July 28, 2008 #7 Share Posted July 28, 2008 If your cabin steward isn't available and you're desperate, you can also order a bucket of ice from room service. Usually they'll bring a larger bucket than the steward provides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALLMYKIDS3 Posted July 28, 2008 #8 Share Posted July 28, 2008 On the Triumph when I stayed on the Empress deck , there was an ice machine AND a soda machine. I as amazed:eek: never seen it on any other ship. I did find the steward's ice machine on the ..can't remember..maybe the Freedom and used that often when I couldn't find the steward. On the last cruise on Imagination we just called room service at night when the stewards were off. Have fun :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol y Mar Posted July 28, 2008 #9 Share Posted July 28, 2008 You can always schlep up to the Lido deck and bring some back! Sol y Mar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol y Mar That's worked for me on the extremely rare occasions when the ice is too melted in the bucket. No offense, but if the housekeeping ice machine is one where the ice must be scooped, I'd rather not have people helping themselves. People have a tendency to drop the scoop wherever (just like tongs at buffets are sometimes laid on the food - handle and all) and I don't want that handle touching ice I might use. Now, if there is a button you hold and the ice dispenses on its own, I have no problem with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azure Moon Posted July 29, 2008 #12 Share Posted July 29, 2008 KenMo, good to know! Thank you. Let the ice floe, then :D ! (Sorry, couldn't wait for an Alaskan cruise to get that out of my system :o ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize your ice question was answered, but I just wanted to say have an A~W~E~S~O~M~E time on you cruise! Don't be anxious! You are going to love it! Just relax, have fun and don't sweet the details. God Bless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about the passengers helping themselves to ice and dropping the scoop or the stewards that may have dropped the scoop?:rolleyes: Just food for thought;) no pun there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
