On Summit and Infinity (and probably Millennium and Constellation), Cafe al Bacio is on the starboard side and the gelato is on the port side right across from it. We always intend to get our free scoops, but sometimes just don’t get around to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hawkstar33 Posted February 22, 2020 #27 Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) And not the biggest scoop you have ever seen. There is never a wait , while the buffet often does have a long line forming, at the free ice cream station.

Are we charged for the gelato and then have to go to the Captain's Club desk to get it taken off our bill? How does the person serving us know that it is free? All Captain's Club benefits are loaded onto your Seapass. No coupons or tickets to fuss about. Ice cream and sorbet always in OV Cafe and free.

bEwAbG Posted February 23, 2020 #31 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I'm pretty sure they have to give it away because so few people buy it. Such an odd concept. It isn't even great gelato. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like my freebies, and do appreciate them. We take advantage of as many as we can. And one scoop is just PLENTY considering all the other food there is on board. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like the Gelato onboard. What I don't like is their cheesecake I make a better one at home. With this Mediterranean cruise coming up I'm anxious to try the Italian Gelato.

Even just walking by. Yum. I'm still going to hold on to hoping the waffle cones magically reappear on our B2B Summit cruise March/April. 🤞🤞 I'll take your post as my warning and if they are no longer offered I won't be as shocked and as disappointed. 🍦 Edited February 23, 2020 by davekathy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miched Posted February 23, 2020 #36 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Nothing to get excited about. Most times we skip it. As other mentioned the free ice cream is just as good and they have more flavors. Actually we very seldom get ice cream either. happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps that's why you're not excited. 🤔 Some of us like a scoop of gelato, and better yet if it's free.

SeaHunt Posted February 23, 2020 #38 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Pistachio is really good! Especially after stopping at Cafe al Bacio for Caramel Macchiatos with a big slice of something wonderful from the pastry case, and having them place some chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies in their little bags "for later" then nibbling those while standing at the gelato counter. The resulting food/sugar coma is not that great to experience however...lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunmore2 Posted February 23, 2020 #39 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) I prefer gelato, more dense, less heavy cream than ice cream. Still, I forget to use my coupon/card, but I’ll make a point of finding hazelnut ! And my husband prefers the sorbet, each to their own.

Redtravel Posted February 23, 2020 #41 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Love Ice cream. Gelato is extra special. It needs to be freshly made. If there is any leftover, get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I walked by there each evening on Deck 5, I checked it out. The machine was there and when I got my gelato, she had a. cone ready for me. Nothing like a freshly made one. The area closes at 10 pm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yvrbos Posted February 23, 2020 Author #44 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I love Hazelnut gelato. Are there any other flavours that others would recommend? I will also be eating the ice cream just in case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micheleata Posted February 23, 2020 #48 Share Posted February 23, 2020 This was from the Equinox in Sept 2018. The glass was frosty/wet which makes the picture look blurry. I wanted coconut, but waited till the last day for our free scoop, and they were out. So I got mint chocolate chip, which is the next picture. I did get my coconut in October (on the right), and not sure what the flavor is on the left. Maybe praline or hazelnut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
