umpisoccer Posted December 3, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 3, 2023 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzywm Posted December 3, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I noticed this on Freedom last week. The ice cream was still Ben & Jerry’s but maybe that’s being phased out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFerrington Posted December 3, 2023 #3 Share Posted December 3, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HicksRA Posted December 3, 2023 #5 Share Posted December 3, 2023 They probably decided to quit giving a Promenade room suite benefits. (Pinching every penny) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgiaGuys Posted December 3, 2023 #8 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I would expect this to be a source of revenue for RC, not an expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could also have been Ben and Jerry that did not renew the contract, nothing to say it was Royal that did not renew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARandomTraveler Posted December 4, 2023 #11 Share Posted December 4, 2023 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no fan of Ben & Jerry's. Actually, I'd prefer Hershey's Ice Cream. Edited December 4, 2023 by Ret MP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmich068 Posted December 7, 2023 #20 Share Posted December 7, 2023 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Researcher Posted December 7, 2023 #22 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I have no affinity to Ben and Jerry's. There are plenty of good brands out there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tree_skier Posted December 7, 2023 #23 Share Posted December 7, 2023 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. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefly333 Posted December 8, 2023 #25 Share Posted December 8, 2023 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
