39august Posted February 8, 2021 #126 Share Posted February 8, 2021 When I had the classic package I got affogado's many times to get another "free" gelato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Classic or Premium packages both list "premium", but I found no reference to "specialty." https://www.celebritycruises.com/content/dam/celebrity/pdf/beverage-package-flyer-optimized.pdf Maybe they changed it now, but back about 4 years ago, I thought there were certain coffee that Classic package were not included. I remember getting something for my wife (not Affogato) and my cousin wanted the same but she can't because she had Classic and we had Premium. The water was different too at the time. She can only get 16oz generic brand water and we get the big bottle of Evian water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL--- When we " graduated " to Elite we thought it was " really something " until we couldn't get a seat in the Sky Lounge 5 minutes after opening. I never said anything about waiting in a line. I said personal service. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeRick Posted February 8, 2021 #129 Share Posted February 8, 2021 OK I will state a food opinion. Always dangerous! 😀 I am surprised there is so much discussion here over a free scoop of mediocre gelato (and a very small scoop at that). I do not feel that Celebrity gelato is much different than the always-free ice cream in the Oceanview Cafe. It is called gelato but compared to real gelato served on land it is a poor substitute. OK yes that is my opinion and my taste buds I guess. Some of you might alternatively think it is the best you ever had. By the way outside of just about anywhere in Italy where have I found the best gelato? Croatia. And Quebec City too. Also had some pretty darn good gelato in Finland. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that you have refined taste buds. We ate Gelato everyday when we visited Italy each time. To be honest, I think store bought Haagen-Dazs ice cream tasted about the same other than Haagen-Dazs is sweeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob brown Posted February 9, 2021 #134 Share Posted February 9, 2021 One small scoop offered on a two week long cruise? Wow...how generous!

spencerdrivecruiser Posted February 9, 2021 #139 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I asked the F&B Dir On the last EQ cruise what happens to the Gelato when they cart it to the kitchen nightly. He said they offer the open container Gelato to the crew and whats not eaten is tossed. They make new Gelato daily. It make no sense to me why they didnt have a fire sale nightly (50% off) but it was not an option. Maybe in the future with this huge debt things will change.

gold1953 Posted February 9, 2021 #147 Share Posted February 9, 2021 the only one I find has flavour is the mango. My husband does not think that any of them are worthy of eating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
