So if you really want some more along the lines of yogurt and fruit ask and see if they have them at breakfast. The closest thing to a milkshake I have found is the soft serve ice cream at the OVC.

Redokie Posted February 19, 2022 #27 Share Posted February 19, 2022 We have gotten the soft serve in a glass and poured soda in it (coke float) Not quite a milkshake but we like it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alakegirl Posted February 19, 2022 #28 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Smoothies aren’t milkshakes. Floats aren’t milkshakes. Virgin mudslides aren’t either. All delicious in their own way but not milkshakes 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Von & John Posted February 19, 2022 #29 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Although not technically milkshakes we've had "virgin" drinks of different ice-cream drinks: Mudslide, Brandy Alexander, Pink Squirrel... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never had one in the past. I have gotten a milkshake (thick shake) at several bars by taking them a bowl of ice cream. They added milk and blended. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare debsjc Posted March 18, 2023 #32 Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) I would love something like a mudslide, but I don't like coffee flavours. Can I get a chocolate only mudslide.... virgin or not ...on the classic drinks package? Also the pink squirrel sounds good, can I order that? I think creamy drinks, rather than acidic ones ... not too fussed about the brand of licor. . Edited March 18, 2023 by debsjc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lola2013 Posted March 18, 2023 #33 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Yes…chocolate flavored virgin mudslide is possible and delicious. I like to request additional chocolate to make it more like a milkshake. And that’s part of the classic drink package. not sure about a pink squirrel…that used to be my grandma’s favorite 😍.

Rare PTC DAWG Posted March 18, 2023 #34 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Who knew? The Pink Squirrel is one of 3 typical ice cream drinks commonly served in Wisconsin Supper Clubs; with the others being a Brandy Alexander and Grasshopper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap_D Posted March 18, 2023 #35 Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) All bars and the ice cream station use a blue carton based mix for vanilla soft-serve and blended drinks. There is another one that is red for chocolate flavor, although at the bars it's possible they could use chocolate syrup to accomplish a chocolate flavored drink. Strawberry flavor or puree may be available depending on location. That would be added to the Vanilla base. While I'm not sure if the ice cream or gelato is actually any different than the carton based product, one could take a scoop of ice cream to the bar at the OVC where there might be a blender and access to milk. Sunset bar also has a blender, but the ice cream may melt by the time one gets up the rear steep stairs (possibly corrected on Beyond and Ascent). Considering the ice cream and carton based product have relatively low milk fat, one may want to use whole milk help with heft. The stabilizers in the carton product may help, too.

There has to be some demand for milkshakes on a cruise, doesn't there? I don't drink alcohol, so the drinks package is a waste for me, there's only so much water I can drink in a day 🙂, but I could easily make it back in milkshakes. I also am not an alcohol drinker but in order to get something for my all included Classic Drink Package I have developed a taste for Virgin Peach or Strawberry Daiquiri's or Pina Coladas! But I must say a good Milkshake would be a grand addition to that list.😗 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
