Colo Cruiser Posted May 25, 2009 #3 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Don't know of any free ice cream at scoops either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BballinQT24 Posted May 25, 2009 #4 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I haven't heard of them giving free ice cream (without the ultimate card), but that would be awesome if they did start doing this!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mii Posted May 25, 2009 #5 Share Posted May 25, 2009 As I stated on the other thread it was not offered for free on the Golden last week. Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruznon Posted May 25, 2009 #6 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Having cruised mostly on HAL, I was really surprised to find Princess charges for ice cream. Has this alway been the policy? Just curious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else run into this? ( I think it was on the Caribbean Princess). Maybe, you are referring to the "free" ice cream in Horizon Court area??? It is usually around 3:30-4:30pm daily, they have a table set up for ice cream that is "free". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJRonbo Posted May 25, 2009 #8 Share Posted May 25, 2009 On the Caribbean Princess SCOOPS was free EVERY DAY from opening to close. They looked at me funny when I asked if they needed to see my cabin card. I had a cone with sprinkles every day and was not charged a dime. And for those about to say I am mistaken about what I am talking about, I can guarantee that there will be other replies from those who traveled on CB this past week that will back up my claim. I suppose it depends what ship you are on and what policies are set. I will say that I was on CROWN two-three years ago and they were charging for ice cream, but it was Ben and Jerrys scoops in a bowl which I didn't even see offered on CB (or at least prices weren't posted as far as I could see).

Linda74 Posted May 25, 2009 #9 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Yep, on the CB repositioning cruise it was free all week....small cones ...but you could get a dish from the buffet and have them put the ice cream in a dish and they did have butterscotch, strawberry and chocolate syrup.....I know because my mother ate it every day!!!!

Pam in CA Posted May 25, 2009 #10 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Having cruised mostly on HAL, I was really surprised to find Princess charges for ice cream. Has this alway been the policy? Just curious... Princess charges for ice cream ONLY at the specialty ice cream bar near the pool. It's free and unlimited in the dining room for lunch and dinner as well as in the buffet in the afternoon when they have the "make your own sundae" set up. Anything anywhere would be better than HAL's ice cream. It was the worst I've ever had. :( I wouldn't even call it ice "cream" -- just a scoop of frozen "stuff" without the cream. Yuck.

Pam in CA Posted May 25, 2009 #12 Share Posted May 25, 2009 That would be Scoops and they are saying its free??Yeah. Looks like at least one cruiser is saying that Scoops was free although it's hard to read their post with a carriage return after every few words.

blueridge20 Posted May 25, 2009 #13 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I was on CB 4/26 thru 5/3 and had free ice cream several times. They only had soft serve vanilla and chocolate and the cones were small, but it was at the Scoops counter. It was in the afternoon when we had come back on board the ship and it was really good.

NJRonbo Posted May 25, 2009 #14 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Come on, Pam. I think my messages are easy to read. Sorry you don't like my posting style. I still love yuh anyway! And now there are three passengers telling everyone that SCOOPS was serving free vanilla and chocolate cones on the Caribbean Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pia1913 Posted May 25, 2009 #15 Share Posted May 25, 2009 This evidentally is a "happening." Nowhere else have we heard of free ice cream at Scoops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted May 25, 2009 #16 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Wonder if they are moving the HC free ice cream there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pia1913 Posted May 25, 2009 #17 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Wonder if they are moving the HC free ice cream there? The OP did say it was soft serve, not the mushy unrefrigerated stuff from HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJRonbo Posted May 25, 2009 #18 Share Posted May 25, 2009 The ice cream was served in the SCOOPS hut (with the big ceramic Ice Cream Cone display) adjacent to the pool elevators. I know ice cream. The good stuff and the bad stuff. The quality of the soft serve was excellent. Many buffets in our area use the Welsh Farms mixture and the ice cream tasted exactly like what that mixture produces. Very creamy, sweet, and without any of that grit that you get in the lower quality concoctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like at least one cruiser is saying that Scoops was free although it's hard to read their post with a carriage return after every few words. Actually, it makes posts very east to read!!

Lobez Posted May 25, 2009 #20 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Just sailed on the CB on the repositioning cruise and yes, ice cream at Scoops was free all week. The had soft serve in either chocolate, vanilla or a twist. They had sprinkles in either rainbow or chocolate. This is at scoops on Lido desk 15 near the pools. I asked about the ultimate card, and it is no longer available on the CB. Am hoping they bring it back as it sounded like a good deal. This was up untli 11pm and is not the free ice cream in Horizon Court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NETSEG Posted May 25, 2009 #21 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Just to add to the discussion, was on the Caribbean Princess 5/10 - 17 and Scoops was serving FREE soft serve - Chocolate, vanilla or swirl with sprinkles or strawberry, chocolate or butterscotch topping. Scoops had no other ice cream. It was very good soft serve but just in a cone (hard to put butterscotch sauce on a cone). Wish I had thought of getting the dish from the buffet.....

kobicleo Posted May 25, 2009 #22 Share Posted May 25, 2009 We just returned from the CB and had read on the posts that the ice cream was only free during certain hours and that during those hours you still had to pay for the sprinkles. Well we had ice cream everyday at different times and it was free, they didn't charge for the sprinkles either. This was a nice surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsb4273 Posted May 25, 2009 #25 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I just returned from the CB repositiong cruise and the ice cream at Scoops was free everyday last week. You could get a small cone with vanilla or chocolate ice cream and either rainbow or chocolate sprinkles at no charge!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
