Cherry on Top question

[beachbum53]

For those that have an insatiable sweet tooth, what is your favorite candy at the Cherry on Top candy shop? Or do you shut your eyes and walk by telling yourself "No, no, no!"?:D

My mom and I always get the dark chocolate non-perils. She is addicted to them. I had to buy her some in January on the Conquest and mail them to her. Well, let's just say they didn't all make it there ;)

Who's addicted to them? I think somebody has a double addiction. Cruising AND chocolate.:D

How much are the candies? Is it by the pound?

It is weighed by the pound

There are some in boxes like movie theatre type candy, but the ones that we get are on the wall and you scoop it out and put it in the bag. It is priced per pound.

[richbum]

Do you know an approx. price? I'm sure this is going to be a popular spot for my kids!!!!!:D

[firemanbobswife]

I want to say it was like $7.99/lb but don't quote me on that. I'll have to see if I can dig up a receipt.

I'm not sure if they come from this shop or not, but my wife and I are in love with the chocolate covered strawberries you can purchase on the ships! On our first Carnival cruise, our TA sent us a plate of them, and ever since they've been our main vice...

[Remus2010]

What goes better with cruising on the ocean?

 

Fish!!!

 

Swedish Fish that is. Love me some soft chewy swedish fish:rolleyes:

[KPfromCT]

DH and DD LOVE that place:D:D

Me, ehhhhh......not much of a sweet tooth....

They do LOVE the non-pareils.

 

I can tell you what NOT to try..........

 

Chocolate covered Gummy Bears......They were not liked by ANYONE!!!!!!

Looked like a good concept. I mean, who doesn't love gummy bears? And who doesn't love chocolate?

Just don't put them together:eek::eek:

My daughter loves the white chocolate non-perils. We can't find them anywhere on land. I can't remember the price but it was not as bad as the mall candy places. I know we bought 3 or 4 times and never spent more the $3 or $4 and got a lot.

chocolate covered Gummie Bears, yum!!!

chocolate covered Gummie Bears CANT WAIT

Candy runs $7.99 TO $10.99. Some sold by the quarter pound and some sold by the half pound. I personally cannot justify those prices. We always bring our own candy with us.

I resisted. Until..my almost four year old grand daughter went with us last week. the Dream.

 

We bought stuffed toys. Cotton Candy....which she loved. Sucker rings.

 

and.................Reese's bits, M & M's, Mint chocolate little bars, Non parreils (sp) white chocolate and dark chocolate. they were delicious. they were pricey. We were desperate. they settled her down and we spent a pleasant afternoon in the Ocean Plaza...eating them. Looking at the sucker ring. Looking at the cotton candy. Playing with the New Teddy.

 

I love them. And the candy was darn good if it was pricey.

 

Our Toddler had a strong, loud aversion to Camp Carnival. We didn't want to scare the other babies up there. Next year.....we will try again. I will still hit Cherries on the Top at least once. Loved that place.

Thanks for the info...I can't wait to go with the kids!:D

[Banditswife]

Loved the Jelly Bellys. Good for a late night snack or while watching a movie on the big screen.

But if you're like me, and you've already eaten all of your M&M's, and you've got a craving for some more, and you're out at sea, what are you gonna do? It's a loooong swim to the nearest grocery store.:rolleyes::D

[dmarie1623]

I love the cookies they sell, it's either Nana's or Nan's Cookies. They small, little crispy delicious chocolate chip cookies. I always bring a jar or two home with me. :D

[Shaded Lady]

Sour worms! Num, num....

I always bring my own sweets from home. Vacation or not, I just wouldn't spend that kind of money for candy I can get at the 99Cents store for 2 for $.50 or $1. When we cruised with the DS I was willing to pay for anything he wanted. He wanted candy so I told him to get whatever he wanted. So he goes and comes back with nothing. I'm like, "Why didn't you get what you wanted?" His reply, "Are you kidding they're a rip off!" Guess we trained him right.:D First stop happened to be Key West. I went into CVS and bought all the candy that he could want. I hadn't packed any candy for him because usually he doesn't eat much candy. But for some reason this trip he was all in. :D

 

However, when I do buy candy it usually always is Raisenettes. Love them since I was about 5 years old!:D DH loves milk chocolate, and DS loves Gummy Bears.
