The question, and this thread, are about Café Bacio benefits

The clarification was though the Elite Plus benefit does not include soda and water at Cafe Bacio they are a included as past of the Happy Hour beverages from 5-7 PM at Cafe Bacio; I usually swing by there during Happy Hitit and bring Coke Zero and bottled water back to the cabin before going to dinner.

Looks like a Mudslide to me😃

No it isn’t a mudslide.  I does not contain alcohol.

Wouldnt be the first time that I am wrong today 😉

but it looks about the same 😁

[cruisestitch]

A mudslide is made with Bailey’s, Kahlúa, and vodka.  Variations include making it with cream and with ice cream.
 

IGLU is a powder.  It comes in chocolate and vanilla. Celebrity, the espresso with IGLU has no alcohol although you could certainly ask them to add a shot of something. They generally add a drizzle of chocolate as you can see in the photo.

 

THE IGLU drink is similar to a café frappe.

I was just making an observation and not making a judgement. It does look like a mudslide to me. 

Thanks for the clarification on what it actually is and enjoy whatever your libations are, with or without booze.

 But adding a shot of Bailey's does make it taste so much better.

I hate to put a damper on this whole topic, but the IGLU is no longer on the menu, at least not on solstice it isn’t

 But, like the Affogato, can you still order it?   

 The Affogato has been off the menu for a year but I was still able to order one last month. 

 

[cruisestitch]

I will check. The thing about affogato is that they have the ingredients right there. They may no longer have the IGLU powder, but I will ask this morning.

The staff is so busy at times mistakes do happen 

I wonder if they should put in an expresso machine at the gelato station and open that up when the main station is very busy 

This is on Solstice

To clarify, do you mean ISN'T ANY IGLU powder?

[cruisestitch]

I am so sorry, I have not had nearly enough coffee this morning. There is no iglu powder anymore on Solstice.

 Thank you  for checking.  I guess there goes that idea for our April cruise.

 That's an idea.  Or get one of the protein shakes at the Spa Cafe and take it to nearest bar and add some Bailey's to it.

Am I recognizing a recurring thread in several of your posts, John ?!?!? 🤔😂

[39august]

Glad to hear you can still get afogotto (sp?) What a sneaky way to get gelato!

Absolutely -- Bailey's not only makes coffee better it also helps with gelato/ice cream !!

 You should have seen the look on my waiter's face in Luminae when I order a scoop of vanilla gelato with a shot of espresso and Bailey's for desert.
