Norwegian Gem Ice Cream Bar?

[CruizinJewels]

Hello! I found this wonderful pic online of what appears to be an ice cream parlor or bar. It states that the ice cream is free...

 

Someone who has been on this ship fairly recently... is this still free and available???

 

Here is the site where I found the pic:

Thank you!

Still free and available. They also have soft serve machines to the left (not seen in the picture). I do not remember the exact times during the day when offered but I do remember somewhere mid afternoon when I visited!

Yes, it was still free in November:)

It is located in the buffet area.

Thanks everyone for such quick responses (and a response that makes me :D)

 

I really need to shed a few pounds now. Hmmm...

Free and delicious in February!

If you like coconut, be sure to try the coconut ice cream! It sounds strange, but is so delicious! (and calorie-free, I'm sure!):D

Everything is "calorie free" on a cruise. It has something to do with the salt water and waves. ?? :p

This is very true. In fact, if you stay on a ship long enough the salt-air and water will draw all the fat right out of your body!! Once that happens, the faster you eat, the skinnier you'll get!! lol:D:D

 

Trouble is, I can never afford to stay cruising long enough for this phenomenon to occur. The best I can ever do is 7 days at a time and that's not nearly long enough! ;)

I'm going on NEXT Saturday so I'll let you know - but was free in January, and I was told again it was free and will be for my April 3 cruise. The Ice Cream is very very good!!

 

Just a tip - if you like blueberry topping on Ice Cream, go to blue laggoon - get vanilla ice cream and tell them to put the blueberry topping on from the blueberry cheesecake - its EXCELLENT!

One of the things I remember most (food wise) about my Jewel cruise in 2006 was the banana pancakes with coconut ice cream from Orchid. It was AMAZING! Glad to hear the coconut ice cream is free. Mmmmm.

 

There wasn't an ice cream bar on the Jewel in '06. This is an amazing difference!

A good friend of mine is on Gem next weekend for their 1st ever cruise so I popped over here to see if there are any good pointers...(and I could not resist being funny!

Totally agree - the banana pancakes with coconut ice cream were delicious.

The coconut ice cream is excellent with the chocolate syrup. I'm getting hungry now....:D

 

*Also I top my chocolate crepes in the evening with additional chocolate syrup from the ice cream section.

 

*Oh, and you can also just ask for a cup of gummy bears from the ice cream counter.........hold the ice cream. Great for snacking! :)

Just got off the Gem last week. Ice cream bar is still there, still free and still delicious. I think it was open when the buffet is open but there is a soft ice cream machine back in the Great Outdoors which is always available, at least it was when we went. Don't know about that calorie thing you guys got going on, but I can tell you it didn't work for me. I need to live on bread and water after this last cruise.

Doesn't sound strange to me....I love coconut! Calories or not...I plan on going there....a lot!

 

But..my favorite flavor of ice cream is coffee. That's always a hard one to find.

 

Can't wait....just 289 days to go.:D

Please...please write a review when you come back. I can't get enough of reading about the Gem. This will be our first cruise.

 

Have a great time!

Does anyone know if this Ice Cream Bar is offered on the Star? We are sailing on a 7 day on May 1st and my husband will go into withdrawls if he isn't able to have his daily ice cream!!

 

Thanks

Sorry to bump an old thread, but does this still exist on the Gem in all of its FREE glory? :D

[searoses]

yes they do-it's pretty soft and the tiny cones are very messy-find yourself a bowl and a spoon as they don't have them right there for some reason. ENJOY!!

[coka]

Still free, still available, and still very YUMMY!:D
