HI all! We are a long time Carnival cruising family. We are trying to find alternatives. We tried Royal Caribbean last year and while some things were nice, it wasn't worth the cost difference vs Carnival. We get pretty great casino deals with Carnival. The biggest issue my family had was that RCCL did not have 24 hour soft serve ice cream. And when the soft serve was open, the lines were extremely long and you were served tiny cones by RCCL staff (if they didn't run out by the time it was your turn). Needless to say, my family has threatened me that if we ever go on another cruise without 24 hour ice cream, they will throw me overboard.
So - does NCL have 24 hour, self serve, ice cream cones? Specifically looking at Breakaway for Thanksgiving, I think. Was looking at Joy but the wonky pool deck makes that one a no-go now.
