Did Ben & Jerry's get removed off Liberty of the Seas

[umpisoccer]

We are currently on the Liberty of the Seas and there is no longer a Ben & Jerry's sign or the Cows.  Did Royal part ways with the company.   I wonder if they also removed the suite?

I noticed this on Freedom last week. The ice cream was still Ben & Jerry’s but maybe that’s being phased out.

On Indy right now and I noticed this morning that the cows were gone.  I wondered if they had removed them temporarily in favor of Christmas decorations but now I wonder if they are gone, permanently.

There was a discussion of this topic in a recent thread that might help.

They probably decided to quit giving a Promenade room suite benefits. 
(Pinching every penny)

Probably letting some licensing agreements expire as they reign in costs.

Did the price for the ice cream change?

I would expect this to be a source of revenue for RC, not an expense.

It could also have been Ben and Jerry that did not renew the contract, nothing to say it was Royal that did not renew.

Boo-hoo!  I wanted to stay in that suite one day!

Bummer, they're taking away one of the fun Easter eggs on this class of ship (room 6305, the Ben and Jerry Sweet). Correct me if I'm wrong on the room number.

If you look in the background on the right side, middle you'll see that there is a Ben & Jerry's sign.  I'm no fan of Ben & Jerry's.  Actually, I'd prefer Hershey's Ice Cream.

I hope not! They make some great ice cream, with some interesting flavors!

I realize their is still a Ben & Jerry's sign inside the store on Liberty but they took down all the outside B & J signs and Cows.  Just wondering why?

There could be dozens of reasons why!  I wasn't there, I don't know the reason.  

 

I was just responding to your statement, "We are currently on the Liberty of the Seas and there is no longer a Ben & Jerry's sign or the Cows", which you even posted a picture of it.  You didn't qualify inside, outside, next door, or on the hull.

Sorry, I don't mean to hijack this thread but we are on Indy in a couple of weeks and I couldn't find any recent reviews. Did they end up replacing Sky Pad with.. anything? Thank you! Enjoy your cruise if you are still there!

Sky Pad is still there but of course the bungee and equipment have been removed.  They are using the space for various special events, none of which I personally attended, so I can’t really comment on what they are.  Seems like they use it for corn hole was one…

 

Indy is great.  Have a great cruise.

The cows were there in June - I saw I had a picture that I caught them on.  

[The Fun Researcher]

I like the new look better, but that's just me.

[cmich068]

Wouldn't surprise me if they are going to change ice cream suppliers once they exhaust existing inventory - the penny pinchers at HQ may have got a better deal elsewhere 

[HicksRA]

They’ll probably take it out and install an ICEE machine with a $5 a cup charge… 😉

[The Fun Researcher]

I have no affinity to Ben and Jerry's.  There are plenty of good brands out there. 

[Tree_skier]

Yeah, they should do a regional thing. Put Tillamook on sailings out is Seattle and Braums out of Texas. I don’t know what Ice Cream is a Florida ice cream but whatever it is choose that. Ben and Jerry’s is very very average for an over priced ice cream.

It is an empty space now - not used at all!🙄

We have had all 3 regular flavors of ice cream in the WJ with 6 toppings choices at lunch and dinner in the WJ last 2 weeks I've been on harmony. On allure they rotated 2 flavors.
