Satisfy your every ice cream craving at Sprinkles, a poolside fave that's as much of a treat as it is a Royal Caribbean? tradition. Choose your soft-serve flavor ? or a combo of two or three, if you're feeling adventurous.

Yes, Royal Caribbean ships feature a dedicated poolside station called Sprinkles, which serves complimentary soft-serve ice cream. In 2026, this is a staple "Royal tradition" across the entire fleet, from the classic Voyager-class ships to the massive New Icon-class vessels. The machines are typically located on the main pool deck and offer rotating flavors—usually chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, or a "twist" combination of two. It is an "unlimited" and high-value perk for families, though the machines usually have specific operating hours (typically 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM). On the newer ships like Icon of the Seas, the soft-serve stations are often more numerous to handle the larger guest capacity. For those seeking premium options, Royal Caribbean also offers Ben & Jerry's or specialized "Sugar Beach" shops, but these carry an additional "a la carte" charge.
