Choozin Croozin Posted March 30, 2012 #76 Share Posted March 30, 2012 My "secret" is milkshakes! Just get a couple scoops of ice cream placed in a tall glass, and add milk from the milk dispensers. Stir. Voila - free milkshake! Really hits the spot after a hot day in a sunny port location. Is scooped ice cream a free item on the Summitt? Not that I am cheap, just curious...that's a great thing to keep in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRBlizz Posted March 30, 2012 #77 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Yes, scooped ice cream is free! And it's rather soft, all the better to use for a nice milkshake. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miched Posted March 30, 2012 #81 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Silly! It's paper US money and the higher the denomination, the prettier it is! Hamilton is on the $10 and Ben Franklin is on the $100. Neither are presidents. :confused: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheryl20772 Posted March 30, 2012 #83 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hamilton is on the $10 and Ben Franklin is on the $100. Neither are presidents. :confused: . Yes, but Washington is on the single; and Jefferson is on the deuce; and Lincoln is on the fiver; and those are most likely to be used for bribery - don't you think?

Andy Posted March 30, 2012 #90 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Thanks for the tips! We'll be Celebrity first timers in June! BTW where is the free ice cream? Hubby and I don't want to miss it! ;) Hi Lrmrtn, You will find complimentary hard and soft ice cream and sorbet, by the Buffet area. The hard ice cream is made onboard, and it's quite good. There's also a Gelateria located near Cafe Al Bacio, but there is a charge for the Gelato. I hope this helps ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voila - free milkshake! Really hits the spot after a hot day in a sunny port location.Oh yes, and when you prefer an iced coffee Starbucks-type drink, that is easy to make too. Drop some ice-cubes into the bottom of a tall glass, ask them to add the scoops of ice-cream, hold it under the coffee spout, very slowly run hot coffee over it to start melting the ice-cream, then stir. Others probably use similar methods to prepare other concoctions. I can gain 5 pounds merely thinking about all those calories. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philomath Posted March 31, 2012 #100 Share Posted March 31, 2012 For those who like a sweet treat in your room, if you bring a paper cup to the ice cream counter, they will fill it up for you with the candy they have available for toppings (sour patch kids, peanut m&ms, reese's pieces among others). One friendly ice cream staffer even tried to give us an entire unopened FIVE POUND bag of sour patch kids! We declined but he was very nice :) If you enter the Texas Hold Em poker tournaments during the day ($60 buy-in) you do generally get a free alcoholic drink if you want one. My husband doesn't like alcohol so got a large bottle of Evian each time. This seems to be the only time they give free drinks in the casino to those who are not "high-rollers." If you particularly enjoy having a couple glasses of wine in your cabin and have a drinks package, get a midship or aft room (S-class). There are very few bars forward and it can become quite a hike to get a glass of wine from a forward cabin, which takes away from the pleasure.
