OnlyMe Posted February 12, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I can't for the life of me remember if there were prunes available in the Windjammer on our last cruise and am hoping someone will know. We sail with our little boy in May and he needs to have prunes added to his diet daily to help with a medical issue and I'm wondering if they are customarily available or if I need to contact guest services or take some with us. Thanks in advance for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzin Carol Posted February 12, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I have always seen prunes in the windjammer on the table with all the fesh and canned fruit. They should also be available in the dining room for breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemonade-sails Posted February 12, 2013 #8 Share Posted February 12, 2013 We also found prunes each morning in the Windjammer. They had the pits in them though - I wasn't aware of this and bit into one and it surprised me so - be careful and remove the pit before giving them to the little one :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copnlpn2 Posted February 13, 2013 #9 Share Posted February 13, 2013 The prunes available in the WJ are stewed and are very slightly spiced. Very tasty...and yes, watch out for those seeds!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzinlady1947 Posted February 13, 2013 #11 Share Posted February 13, 2013 They are available from room service too. I see them in the hallways once in a while. I guess they didn't want them after all. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langley Cruisers Posted February 13, 2013 #15 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Yes to the prunes and you must also please try the MUESLI! It is increidble. Some mornings are better than others depending on the fruit they put in, but that was my morning ritual... 4 prunes, little muesli, and 1 small danish. Yum!! :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Ann Posted February 13, 2013 #16 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I've not been on a cruise ship yet that did not have prunes. I think it is a law of the seas ;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare brillohead Posted February 13, 2013 #20 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I've not been on a cruise ship yet that did not have prunes. I think it is a law of the seas ;). I think it's more likely a law of the plumbing and those toilets with the itty bitty opening at the bottom of the bowl.....;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyMe Posted February 13, 2013 Author #21 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Wow, so many replies - thank you all so much!!! Our baby needs prunes daily to keep things on track, otherwise we have to medicate which I try to avoid as much as possible so its great to hear they are readily available ... I have no idea why but I just couldn't be sure even though I love prunes myself with a little natural yogurt :) When we sailed NCL a few years back we also needed prune juick for our other son but had to special request it hence I wanted to be certain for May. Thank you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
