zhuangcorp Posted April 28, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I see that the dessert menu has ice cream on it everyday. What are the flavors of ice cream to choose from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy-Europe Posted April 28, 2022 #2 Share Posted April 28, 2022 "Whatever comes up with the rotation"... I remember they have two different regular flavours each day and I think a sugarfree additional - and different flavours every day. Ask your server - they gladly ask ind the kitchen (or they know), what they serve the actual day. Same at the Lido buffet - 2 different regular and 1 sugarfree flavour each day.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willoL Posted April 28, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Thanks for those specifics, @Wendy-Europe. My teen was just musing last night, preparatory for our August cruise, about whether he should plan to spend his pocket money on gelato, or if there would be "enough" ice cream available at meals to satisfy his sweet tooth. He's at that age when he seems to grow an inch overnight, and lately he's requiring not one but two full servings of dinner to be satisfied. How I look forward to sending him to the Lido buffet to feed himself for a few weeks! 😆 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, if quantity is more important the lido will fit the bill. If the portions are still the same the gelato was a good portion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It involves taking one of the big bowls from the Lido salad station over to the dessert bar for a much larger sundae than the usual ice cream bowls can fit 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandiego1 Posted April 29, 2022 #8 Share Posted April 29, 2022 On the Zuiderdam last week, it was always vanilla and chocolate. Most of the timethere was also strawberry in the Lido. Occasionally they would substitute a different flavor for the strawberry. The ice cream wasn’t that good - but I still had it with my pie or cake. I tried the heath bar ice cream. It was mostly vanilla with a few teeny tiny bits of heath bar. It was disappointing (yet I ate almost 2 scoops 🤫). I miss the gelato on the larger ships. Even though you had to pay for it, the quality was better. they seemed to have a bigger variety at night in the MDR. DH was able to get mint chocolate chip a few times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, I wonder if there are some "supply-chain" effects causing this -- our experience was always as previous answers, with change every day. But of course, we haven't been on a ship since May 2019...

Florida_gal_50 Posted April 29, 2022 #10 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Supply chain, I’m going to take a shot every time I hear this. I’ll be drunk by midnight 😛🤪😏. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSJ has a very good documentary about the current "supply chain" issues going on right now - there are weak links up and down the commerce chain. It is called "Chain Reaction" and I think you can get it off their website - no fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy-Europe Posted April 29, 2022 #12 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Since I am an icecream-addict (I have a compressor icemachine myself and make icecream) I rate the quality of the offered icecream onboard - and Holland America had a medium class icecream (Pre-Covid....) - the quality is way better than the self service soft serve which is included at NCL or Royal Caribbean at the buffet. Probably comparable to Dreyers in texture, quality and sweetness. In my opinion a little bit too sweet (most american brands are too sweet for me).
