monakayk Posted December 6, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 6, 2017 This will be our 2nd X cruise....will we get a complimentary Scoop of Gelato? Do we get a coupon in our cabin to get it with ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzmund Posted December 6, 2017 #2 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I believe you receive the free scoop if you are a Select (or higher) member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo70 Posted December 6, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 6, 2017 There is free ice cream in the buffet - it is freshly made onboard and IMHO as good as the for-fee gelato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEcruzr Posted December 6, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Yes, you will. I checked the benefits online... Classic and up gets one free scoop. It will be on your card/account. I always ask them to check my card to be sure the complimentary scoop is "on it" before I order. https://www.celebritycruises.com/captains-club/tiers-and-benefits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can'tstopcruising Posted December 6, 2017 #5 Share Posted December 6, 2017 There is free ice cream in the buffet - it is freshly made onboard and IMHO as good as the for-fee gelato. and the free ice cream may be even better!

miched Posted December 6, 2017 #6 Share Posted December 6, 2017 and the free ice cream may be even better! (from a fanatic who has ice cream every day!!!) Marketing and percieved value. If the Gelato was free and there was a charge for the regular ice cream people would say that the regular was better. Chances are in a blind test comparing the two of the same flavor it would come out 50/50 of what was better. happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bEwAbG Posted December 6, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 6, 2017 This assumes you enrolled in Captain's Club and had your first cruise credited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandream Posted December 6, 2017 #8 Share Posted December 6, 2017 and the free ice cream may be even better! (from a fanatic who has ice cream every day!!!) Exactly what I was going to say. I too prefer the free ice cream to the gelato (in general, I'm a fan of gelato - just don't like the stuff on Celebrity). Our kids like it though, so we use our coupons for them.

davekathy Posted December 7, 2017 #13 Share Posted December 7, 2017 We like the Gelato but we've never paid for it while on the ship. I usually get my ice cream fix in the evening in the MDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being Italian, I grew up on gelato and was looking forward to it when we got on the Equinox recently. It certainly didn't meet our expectations.

TeeRick Posted December 12, 2017 #18 Share Posted December 12, 2017 IMO- I don't think the gelato in Cafe al Bacio is real gelato if that is truly your desire. Tastes like ice cream and has the consistency of ice cream. Good to try it especially with a coupon but be prepared for a very small scoop. Agree about getting the free ice cream in the OVC. Also agree about ordering the Bullit in QSine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeRick Posted December 17, 2017 #19 Share Posted December 17, 2017 It appears from other very recent posts that certain M-Class ships (like Infinity) have put in a bar similar to World Class Bar in the Gelato area. But it seems that Gelato is sharing the space and is still available! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerelmx Posted December 17, 2017 #20 Share Posted December 17, 2017 At Cafe al Baccio I will try the Affogato with pastries. I'm already savoring them for my next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beanb41 Posted December 17, 2017 #24 Share Posted December 17, 2017 What an incredible discussion. Spending thousands of dollars for cruise and concerned about getting a $5 icecream sorry gelato for free. If you are ever on our cruise we will have two free gelatos on offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
