Milkshakes!

[overlake7]

FYI on the Koningsdam Lido deck near the pool milkshakes are included in the HIA package.

I had a vanilla one on NS a couple of days ago and it had a strange taste. I might try a chocolate one.

From Dive-in, not the Ice cream place, correct?

Keep trying until they taste right. We're adding liquor to ours to sanitize them in case there are germs.

Check both the Dive In and the Gelato place. They're next to one another.

The Dive In gets the shakes from Gelato place.

I had one, I believe on Zuiderdam, and it tasted like Strawberry Nestle Quick.

I had one on the Eurodam last month, chocolate, it tasted like Nestlé quick.

OK. I am on Rotterdam and our sweet Gelato server Sherwin says they only make milkshakes from ice cream and milk. Nothing added. He says the ice cream he uses is the same as what Lido serves.

Mine (chocolate) was white and the server tried to tell me it was chocolate. I told her it was vanilla and she came back with a cup of chocolate sauce so I could add "more". 🤷‍♂️

Got it at the gelato place

[crystalspin]

I think we will stick with the straight gelato. Not covered by beverage package, but no Quik flavors yet!

And a bargain - recent cruise on NS, 2 scoops (smallest they would do) cost me $2.36 and $2.60. No idea why the difference, but for $2.50ish, I thought gelato was a tasty bargain. Oh, I'm talking straight up gelato, not the shakes, oops.🫣

Last month on Eurodam at the Dive In.  Included in HIA package.  Not bad, but certainly not great IMO.

Can they make malts? I dearly love malts, but a regular shake will do in a pinch ☺️.

The one (and only)  unqualified thumbs up I can give Pinnacle class ships - the Gelato Bar was superb, and the costs minimal compared to what this quality costs elsewhere. Wish that same quality product was available on other HAL ships.

A couple of shots of Baileys in a chocolate or vanilla shake would be good.

I give credit where credit is due, but they don't have the milkshake thing down. Sorry, but I previously came from the dairy state and anything less than premium ice cream and whole milk doesn't cut it. I got one and could not drink it...tasted like fake syrup or powder. Yuk.

[Blackduck59]

I don't understand how a milkshake could be so hard. When I was a child (in the 60s) any number of places made milkshakes and for the most part the multimixer was operated by teenagers scooping hard ice cream into a metal cup, adding syrup and milk a mixing it up. The thick luscious mixture was was poured in a glass, topped with whipped cream and a cherry. the extra in the metal mixer can came on the side. Milkshakes are not rocket science, the key is lots of ice cream and just enough milk to get it to mix. If booze is to be added it should be while it is being made. Make it a feature by the Lido bar, "The Milkshake Shack" complete with vintage Hamilton Beach of Multimixer machines and the metal mixing cups.

I think you're on to something. Or maybe just "The Shake Shack".

I used "Milkshake" on purpose, a "shake" is something dispensed from a machine, sometimes green, from a purveyor of so called food products famous for arches.😉

But they're lactose-free because they contain no diary products. 😂
