Hi,
Please advise the following:
1) Coffee & Cones:
a) Is the included (aka free) soft serve ice cream flavours just vanilla & chocolate?
Self serve or served by a crew member?
For sanitary reasons, hoping it's served by a crew member.
Note: Not interested in the paid ice cream sandwiches. Tks!
b) We have Plus Cruise Package. Is my understanding correct? The Frappes & Milkshakes at Coffee & Cones are included with our Plus Cruise Package? Is there any issue with asking for the Milkshake to be made without the espresso?
If issues, I may need to go with my son when he orders and see if if there's a work around (eg. ask for the espresso on the side?).
Reason I ask: I read that, depending on the crew member, people either had success or failure at downsizing (aka removing items) from the "specialty" dessert that came with Plus Packages. Doesn't make sense to me because of the waste and the extra cost to the cruise line.
2) Buffet Area:
a) I watched a Youtube video and someone advised that on the Crown Princess, in the afternoons, guests had access to hand scooped (hard) ice cream in the buffet area. Is this also true on the Ruby Princess?
b) What flavours were available? Hoping for strawberry ice cream!
We love our Frappes, Milkshakes & Ice Cream! I hope we don't overindulge and manage to save room for dinner. I believe it's easier said than done ... looks like there's temptations everywhere. Thanks for your help!
