brianastree Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Hello, I am wondering if we can get ice from anywhere onboard and bring it to our stateroom to make some drink cold. I will sail on Harmony. Is there any facility to get complementary ice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtread Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 They will bring ice to you! Just call room service....or set it up with stateroom attendant on Day 1 to bring you ice every day. They will do it! brianastree and KristiZ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I am afraid that I may give them a tip when I ask them. That is why I am investigating how to get ice pieces by myself. Do you know?

rtread Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Wait a little while.....one of the frequent cruisers will chime in. I'm not sure if it's like a hotel where you can go down the hall to the ice machine....or not. (I'm going to take a number of $1 bills for tipping for that purpose.) brianastree 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 I do not recall seeing any ice vending machines which is open to the public , usually people are asking the attendant for that . another think that might work is to ask for some ice from one of the bars. Regarding the tips , if you ask your attendant to make sure you ice bucket is full every day or twice a day you do not need to give him a tip everyday , remember the automatic system of gratuity . for sure in the end if you think he did extra you can add some money for him , but this is an option not a must.

At that point request that he brings you Ice in your ice bucket everyday. You do not need to give them an additional tip as long as you do the standard gratuities. I do this every cruise and works out great. Kansas Eagle and brianastree 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzywuzzy Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 The Coke Freestyle machines will dispense ice to anybody in any container. You dont need the special cup. Get one of the coin buckets from the casino, wash it out and it makes a nice little ice bucket. One of the crew chuckled when he saw me doing this. They dont tell you this. brianastree 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 We always ask our stateroom attendant to keep the bucket of ice full during our sailing and that has never been a problem. brianastree 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expressman Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 FuzzyWuzzy is correct, you can get ice from the Freestyle machines, however it is much easier to ask your stateroom attendant and it will be taken care of. A tip at the end of the week is appreciated. brianastree 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certain i've never seen an ice machine on any ship thats accessible to the general public. I would assume way too much at risk given all the hands that would go in it. Now that being said, the Windjammer has ice machines (don't they? now that i'm thinking about it, i'm having a brain fart and can't remember) at the fountains that you can also use to fill up the bucket from your room. tiny260 and brianastree 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do not fill a bucket of ice from a freestyle machine. They are out of ice enough without people filling up buckets. brianastree, tiny260 and ThyriC 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
