What is your favorite snack to bring on a cruise?

[PEPLS]

A bag of Hershey's miniatures.

I take energy bars too, not to eat on board but to take on shorex. If we're just walking around in port at lunchtime, we'll eat at a local restaurant, but on excursions you might or might not find something to tide you over...

Chocolate and Ginger Snaps. The Ginger Snaps help with sea sickness.

There's only one cruiseline that we bring snacks on the ship and I won't name them (and no it's not Holland America) though you'll probably figure it out from my signature.

 

This cruiseline shuts down by 10 pm and you could order room service up until a certain time I think. But quick foods like pizza, etc is not available. And sometimes after shows, going to bars, casino, etc. we'd like a little snack. So there's the need to bring what we really like for a little quick meal.

 

All other cruiselines it's not a problem.

Gosh who needs snacks on a cruise ship - especially Royal - although we have cousins that need to snack at night - can't imagine - I'm lucky if I can move after eating dinner-- lol:)

We never brought any snacks on board - but I've picked up a few good ideas.

We usually take something salty. That way we can sit with a cold beverage and a salty snack in the afternoon. MmmMmmm!!!!! We skip lunch. Three big meals is too much so we eat a late breakfast and early dinner.

We're like liz...See's Candy is a special treat we've brought on our two cruises. Yuuum!

[letsgoyakking]

Dr Pepper!

Twizzlers

WHAAAAATTTTT????? No pillow chocolates anymore? I like the idea of bringing a package and asking the room steward to leave one at turndown. Maybe I can just bring some cookies back from WJ in the afternoon and ask them to leave those on the pillow.

Even though you are fed well on a cruise, my dh was wanting peanuts or something like that to snack on. I think they did have some in the general store on board, but he wasn't willing to pay the price for them. I noticed several different snack items there and the formalities shop sells candy - I suppose by the scoop or something. I saw it through the window.

[Bookish Angel]

Unsalted nuts, dried apples and pineapple and a few Power Bars for excursions. Sometimes I bring Goldfish but those are way salty!

 

The ships's snacks are too fatty, too salty and too over-processed for my taste.

Just thought it would be a fun question.

 

With all the food that is available on a cruise ship, I see no reason to bring any extra with me.

[ColdenGirl]

This will be my our cruise so I'm not sure if this is feasible but it seems so from different posts I've read....

 

Bring some zip lock bags. Order cookies, cheese n crackers or whatever from room service or bing back some pastries from Cafe Promenade and bag them for snacking or taking on shore. And there is a frig in the room if needed, right?

 

What do you think of this?

No snacks needed! Whatever we bring is intended more for the plane-ride... granola bars, pringles, etc. We occasionally snack on something in our room before dinner or before bed, but not often, and definitely not necessary with all of the food on the ship!

In many ports what you are suggesting is illegal. Most ports do not allow you to take food off the ship, except pre-packaged food.

Pretzels! I love pretzels, especially with my beer. Two cruises ago - on the Majesty - I looked everywhere for pretzels and could find nothing that "simple". Ended up making do with a $5 :eek: can of Pringles from one of the stores...on the last night we noticed a room service tray with an empty bag of chips on it outside of someone's door... never occurred to us to try to get room service to bring us a bag of chips or pretzels! Now I just bring a bag or two of pretzel sticks - which travel pretty well!

[romnan]

I have stopped bring snacks on board. I have learned they take up room,there are far too many interesting things on board to take their place:D

[ehfl]

LOL...as if there isn't already enough food on the ship.

 

That's a good one :)

[Cruzface]

See's Candies and champagne

 

Champagne? How did you get that onboard:eek: I need to know your secrets.

[aloha of the seas]

If I have the time to shop in port before a cruise I will usually buy a couple of cans of Pepperidge Farms Pirouette vanilla wafers sticks. They are great for nibbling on when I am stting on the balcony or just before dinner. Very light and not too sweet. Just pick them up and carry them on.

[insulationbabe]

Taking food off the ship is a real no no - they are getting very strict on this rule:)

Go see the thread Beware RCL and you will be shocked.

Or just go here and read the complaints. We all may be bringing MREs before long...
