Milkshakes on drinks packages

[M8lyx]

Hi. Can you tell me if you can have milkshakes on the classic drinks package? If not is it an option for the premium package? 
 

Cheers Ian.

I know of nowhere on the ship that they actually serve milkshakes. Ice cream, yes but not milkshakes.

Didn’t the Aqua Spa cafe do them at one time for a fee?

Those are smoothies, not milkshakes.  Smoothies are still there

Is there really a difference if you get a smoothie with dairy products?  Obviously a classic milk shake has milk, icecream and usually a syrup, but a I'd find a smoothie with frozen yogurt and fruit almost as satisfying. 

BRB. Going to Five Guys for a milkshake now.

The Spa Café does not have frozen yogurt or ice cream. Their smoothies are not made with any dairy product and would never be mistaken for a milkshake

When I asked about a chocolate milkshake, I was told it's basically a virgin mudslide.  I've ordered recently on both Edge and Reflection.  I only have the classic drink package and it's covered.  Delicious!!!

Thank you all for you comments. 
They do do milkshakes as it’s on the kids drink packages. See below. 
The pictures look delicious so I was hoping to be able to have a few. 🤷‍♂️

They may say that, but I don't know where you can buy one on any of their ships.  I'd happily be proven wrong as I would like to get one (or several) on my next cruise.

I am very curious to know where one can get a real milk shake.

Our daughter had the kids drink package on our last cruise in late December on the Summit. A "milkshake" was in fact simply a virgin mudslide. It's good, but not really a milkshake.

 

I would just get a bowl of soft serve and a glass of milk from the buffet and make my own 🙂

Has anybody checked to see if they have a blender in the ice cream station in the Oceanview Cafe?

But there’s clearly a strawberry milkshake in the photo on th kid’s package. That can’t be a virgin mudslide?  I’d be very disappointed if I’d paid for my kids drinks package and there was only Virgin mudslides. 

[cruisestitch]

My curiosity has led me to just about every venue on the ship asking if they make milkshakes. The answer has been a universal, “no but we make virgin mudslides.”  Strawberry milkshakes? No, only virgin mudslide. Vanilla milkshakes? No, only virgin mudslides.  
 

I’m sure they are delicious, but they’re not milkshakes.

Yes, I have been there, and no they don’t have a blender.

How about a virgin strawberry daiquiri?  Mango?  Agree not technically a milkshake, but the bartenders can and will stir up all kinds of flavors that kids and adult kids would enjoy..try them.  

[wrk2cruise]

My only thought would be to check with the outdoor oceanview bartender (who has a blender used to make icy drinks) to see if you brought him ice cream if he/she would make it for you.  I'm pretty sure they have milk and chocolate/strawberry syrups there.   I might try on my next sailing.

 

But I like a good milkshake so I would probably need a couple bowls of ice cream!

I think that would work.  I will try asking there later on.

Why does it have to be so hard?  There has to be some demand for milkshakes on a cruise, doesn't there?  I don't drink alcohol, so the drinks package is a waste for me, there's only so much water I can drink in a day 🙂, but I could easily make it back in milkshakes.

[wrk2cruise]

@cruisestitch  Are you onboard now?  Reflection?  If so come back and report.  I'm onboard in 30 days.

Possibly not too much demand for actual milkshakes on board due to the typical low number of kids on Celebrity ships.  So for adults they off virgin mudslides and such.  I know on RCCL you could get milkshakes in venues like Johnny Rockets.

From what I saw the smoothies at the spa cafe were of the kale variety... not the yogurt fruit type... more healthy than the type of smoothie I like...  someone posted this menu on another thread... not quite what a kid might confuse with a milkshake

Well, I'm not a kid, but I LOVE milkshakes!  They have awesome ones on MSC.
