Minny Marco Posted October 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I have not cruised with Fred Olsen before and I was wondering if there is an ice cream station on Black Watch. Can anyone tell me, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coravel Posted October 22, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Only a couple of times during the cruise and definitely weather dependent. They will open one up near the pool on selected sea days if your cruise takes you to warmer climes. The daily information sheet will alert you to it.

Travelingman52 Posted October 25, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Hi, Sorry to disappoint you but no dedicated ice cream bar on Black Watch. The only speciality is the coffee shop and of course the Black Watch grill. Such a pity, I'm sure that there would be a demand if one was to be installed and noticing the lack of trade on the gaming tables I would think that the space allocated to the casino could be used better.

Coravel Posted October 25, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I think they seem obliged to have gaming tables to prove they cater for an adult clientele. 😴 They seem to be used very rarely although business was better on my recent cruise. I don't like them very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelingman52 Posted October 26, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I would question the correlation between having gaming tables and having an adult clientele, surely the facilities should reflect the needs or requirements of the customer.

Coravel Posted October 26, 2018 #6 Share Posted October 26, 2018 For the few that use the gaming tables that's exactly what they are doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb125 Posted October 26, 2018 #7 Share Posted October 26, 2018 The dedicated ice cream bar on Balmoral did not do much business on our last cruise, the same with the smoothie station. I think a lot of peeople are reluctant to pay for extras when they have already paid such a lot for the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minny Marco Posted October 26, 2018 Author #8 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Are the ice cream stations chargeable extras? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coravel Posted October 26, 2018 #9 Share Posted October 26, 2018 We've never had to pay when we've used it but perhaps they are now charging for the ice creams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb125 Posted October 27, 2018 #10 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Yes they were charging on Balmoral in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coravel Posted October 27, 2018 #11 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Ouch! That seems a bit mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelingman52 Posted October 29, 2018 #12 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I would expect to pay extra for a speciality product in the same way as I pay for the speciality coffee or the cocktails not included in the AI package. You pays your money and takes your choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
