All shook up!

[Jetdriver787]

When it comes to truth in advertising, I accept that as a society we still have some way to go. Rather like the latest generation of “truthful” cigarette advertising, I do feel that manufactures should be forced to add a “truthful rider” such as “this box contains enough noodles to only fill the cellophane window” or “Serves 4 provided 3 aren’t very hungry!” However my award for Augusts award of the month goes to the Johnny Rockets (Express) on Anthem of the seas! It concerns the Milkshake. Bought one today and it looked nothing like the advertising barely a few meters (yard and a bit) on the advertising billboard.

 

When I asked the server what happened to the cream and the cherry (or even the banana slice displayed) his reply was “Sorry sir, Cutbacks!” Even then, the result tasted like that “goop” they use to construct pina coladas. 
 

after the recent scandal of the “Half & Half” this has left me shaken and stirred!

 

Spot the difference?

EWWWWWWWWWWWWW

 

But I never liked them...too sweet.  I make my own using their ice cream and a rootbeer.  I just ask for 2 scoops of ice cream and a root beer, I put it together myself right at our table... nessesity is the mother of invention.

Just another Royal “enhancement” to your experience.

Bummer.  Last time I was on RCCL, I recall the JR milkshakes being as good as the ones on land.  I was looking forward to a good milkshake.  The good thing is at the very least now I won't be disappointed.

I've had JR "adult" shakes on Anthem (using D+ vouchers) in Dec. 2021, May 2022, and May 2023.  They were the same each time.  Were they bigger pre-Covid?

The picture of the food item ALWAYS looks better than what you get on your plate. This is hardly an RC issue.

Looks is one thing, but showing whip creme and a cherry and not delivering is different than just "looks better"

More than likely a SUPPLY CHAIN issue, a excuse that will live on like Hell's Perpetual Fires
