Snacks for excursions?

[Crystalies28]

I sail in just TWO DAYS, on the Carnival Inspiration and I am SO excited.

 

We are planning to take the 7 hour excursion to Tulum, but in reading a bit about the trip I see they only provide a small snack. I was wondering if Carnival has food we can bring along on the excursions, just some fruit or snacks.

 

Either that or if anyone has taken that trip, is there a place to buy lunch along the way.

 

Thanks!!

I'm also interested in this, could we bring something we ordered from room service ahead of time, would this be frowned upon?

Prepackaged food is it. Fruit is a HUGE no no to take ashore anywhere you cruise to.

Most countries forbid you bringing in anything but sealed packaged snacks; anything fresh is forbidden and you can be fined if caught.

Grab a few boxes of cereal. In years past the gym had energy bars, but havent seen those in the last couple of cruises.

I always bring pre-packaged snack size oreos and carry them in my beach bag.

We carry peanut butter crackers and nutri-grain bars for snacks. Always have a bottle of water.

We took the Tulum tour from an RC cruise and it included a beach break where they served us a lunch.

If I remember correctly there is a shopping area before you go to the ruins. I think there was a snack bar there as well as the souvenier shops.

Thanks Guys,

 

LOL at the :mad::mad::mad: frowning upon!

I definitely will grab some cereals, and maybe bring a box of nutrigrain bars, that and the snacks and I will be peachy keen!

Does the excursion give you lunch? I remember a box lunch being provided for on our long day excursion.

 

They do stop in a very tourist place. the prices are more then triple what you can find it elsewhere- bring quarters if you gotta use the potty.

Potty quarters!!!

Wow... That is definitely not something I was expecting!! eek!

 

BYO TP?? haha

 

The carnival description does mention a "light snack and bottled water" being provided, so that is a plus.

So hard to know what a "small snack" is, I have had everything from a plastic cup of pretzels to a wonderful selection of mexican snacks that was enough for a meal!

Bring some of your own snacks from home just in case, a granola bar or two.

 

Go on the excursion thread to see if anyone has gone on that one and the snack they received.

Dont laugh. I got stuck at a beach with no TP. Glad I had tissue in my pocket. Now I also go prepared for anything

I never travel without a packet of tissue and hand sanitizer! You never know when you may need it! I even use it to wash the toilet seat on a train in Egypt, hard to squat when you are going back & forth! When I was at the Valley of the Kings, kids would steal the tp out of the washrooms and sell it to tourists for a $1 per square! LOL

 

McDonalds in Switzerland you have to tip the bathroom attendant to use it in one tourist town I was in!

You are far more well traveled than I, However I did just stick two Tissue Packs in my carry on and I am already set with my Bath and Body Works Pocket Bac'!!

Though for a chance to see the Valley of the Kings I would be totally okay with a little BYO TP!

I enjoyed the Tulum tour. It is broken down in segmets. First a boat, than a bus, than shopping, than the ruins, than more shopping, than bus, and boat back to ship. The food was only a sandwich, which was if I remember correctly, was a slice of meat and cheese on two slices of bed. However, there were many opportutities to buy snacks and food around which we did. Note that I had 2 teenage boys, so they needed food. Your can not bring food from the ship for many reasons, however, if you bring things like granola barrs etc they are usually fine if you make sure they are sealed. However, remembering them is a different story. I just usually find something local to eat, and make sure I have a big breakfast.
