Anything from the soft serve machines is 100% artificial ingredients and has no trace of dairy or or lactose.

The previous poster's response is incorrect.  If there has been no change in RCCL's supplier, the soft serve DOES have (a ton) of dairy and lactose in it.

It's best to ask. Relying on a post from one ship in 2018 doesn't help anyone.

Nonfat milk solids are typically lower in lactose than regular milk, so if that's the concern and you can eat other foods with Lactaid, you may be OK.

Other recipes for soft serve do not contain any dairy.

Easy one to make - it certainly tastes 100% artificial.  LOL

It's actually VERY rare for soft serve to not have dairy.  The only one that is widespread on the market is the one that makes dole whips.  If you go to McDonald's, Dairy Queen, Wendy's, Mr. Softee's, etc - all those places have dairy-full soft serve.  

 

So, if you see a soft serve machine and the word "vegan" is not listed anywhere near it, you can be pretty guaranteed it's a dairy-based product.

 

PS - And even dole whips - only the fruit flavors are vegan - if you are ever getting a vanilla dole whip, it has dairy.  It is very hard to make a vanilla or chocolate soft serve that passes muster as vanilla/chocolate ice cream without using dairy.

It also depends on where the ship is sailing.  I know that they have used a different supplier in Germany (and maybe still do) than the one shown in the picture which is US based.

 

I agree it is always best to ask a crew member to show you the packaging.  They always do it.
