ash88 Posted July 9, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hello. We are wondering if you are able to bring any food onboard? We are traveling with a toddler & aren't sure if the ships have "snacks" as such. Our little one likes little biscuits , musli bars etc & wanted to pack some. Also are you allowed to bring unopened cordial with you? Thanks in advance we will be on explorer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouhunter Posted July 9, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 9, 2015 You can bring all the pre-packaged food you want:) When our daughter was younger the wife packed lots of different snacks for her. Most of them were still unopened at the end of the cruise...........:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash88 Posted July 9, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Clarea. This is a non alcoholic drink just mix with water. Helps if you funny tummy so would it still no be allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 9, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Clarea. This is a non alcoholic drink just mix with water. Helps if you funny tummy so would it still no be allowed? Technically, no beverages are allowed, other than the two bottles of wine. However, they frequently don't enforce that rule for non-alcoholic beverages.

bouhunter Posted July 9, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) Clarea. This is a non alcoholic drink just mix with water. Helps if you funny tummy so would it still no be allowed? Cordial meant alcoholic. Again, you can bring any pre-packaged NON ALCOHOLIC whatever that you want. Especially if it's non liquid.

ash88 Posted July 9, 2015 Author #7 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Oh hahaa sorry did not know cordial meant alcoholic. ok might put one in luggage if they take it they take it!! Thank you. I presume they sell snacks on board just not sure how fussy little one will be..!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BekkaW Posted July 9, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Cordial meant alcoholic. Again, you can bring any pre-packaged NON ALCOHOLIC whatever that you want. Especially if it's non liquid. In Australia and Britain cordial is a concentrated flavoring that you mix with water. It is usually fruit flavored, and it's not alcoholic. I think kool aid might be the U.S. equivalent? I'm not sure about that. OP as has been mentioned it's technically forbidden but unlikely to be enforced. You will have no trouble getting biscuits on board but I haven't seen muesli bars so it might be best to pack some if your little one is partial to them.

They sell things like Pringles and candy bars. There are small boxes of cereal available at breakfast in Windjammer (buffet) that you might want to grab so you have something in your stateroom when the food venues are closed.

TheGinBoy Posted July 9, 2015 #10 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Depending what ship you're on too Cafe Promenade / Park Cafe / Windjammer always has little cakes, pastries, cookies/biscuits etc to snack on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brossy Posted July 9, 2015 #11 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hi ash88 They always serve a super strong lemon flavoured cordial in the Windjammer which is free. This might be suitable if you water it down a lot. I have taken my own soft drink onboard from Sydney opt and had no problems at all. They have biscuits in the Windjammer and the flavours vary but usually theres a chocolate chip, coconut (similar to Anzac ones) and plain ones. You can also get crackers near the soup area in Windjammer. Soft serve ice cream / yoghurt is also free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantaAlly Posted July 9, 2015 #12 Share Posted July 9, 2015 We brought some snacks for our 21 month old. For the most part, she didn't eat them. We had our normal meals, and would grab a box of cheerios or Pops in the morning and bring that around with us for the day. If she got hungry we went and got some fruit from the windjammer, or some other snack from the promenade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garycarla Posted July 9, 2015 #15 Share Posted July 9, 2015 We travel often. Our carryon bag ALWAYS has prepackaged snacks. You never know when "stuff happens". Never, ever a problem on any ship, hotel, airline, customs, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also are you allowed to bring unopened cordial with you? Thanks in advance we will be on explorer When my grandson was 6 months old we used a small carry-on to bring his jar babyfood (meats-fruits & veggies), cereals, formula, bottles, bottle washer, soap and assorted baby snacks. It was a lot less expensive than buying the baby package on board. We also brought a small case of water to mix his formula. He didnt eat table food at that time so this was our best option. Afterwards the empty carry-on was used to pack very few unused items and gifts we purchased :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash88 Posted July 10, 2015 Author #17 Share Posted July 10, 2015 So when people say lemonade is also free onboard Is it like sprite?! confusing that every country calls drinks different names! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 10, 2015 #18 Share Posted July 10, 2015 So when people say lemonade is also free onboard Is it like sprite?! confusing that every country calls drinks different names! No, it's the American version of lemonade, not fizzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelinGert Posted July 10, 2015 #19 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Think powdered lemonade drink mix pre-mixed with water. Though I thought someone said they actually use a liquid concentrate somewhere on the boards, but it tastes pretty much the same. If you buy a drink package that comes with a coke cup they have the fizzy version in there. You can even add cherry or strawberry to make it fizzy cherry or strawberry lemonade.

spookwife Posted July 10, 2015 #20 Share Posted July 10, 2015 So when people say lemonade is also free onboard Is it like sprite?! confusing that every country calls drinks different names! American Lemonade is water, lemon juice and sugar. NO bubbles. I usually mix it with the iced tea on board to make an Arnold Palmer. each of them on their own are kinda gross but together they are palatable. anything with bubbles is called soda or pop depending on where in the country you live. that is NOT free on board but most drink packages include it( fountain and can) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyitsmema Posted July 10, 2015 #21 Share Posted July 10, 2015 So when people say lemonade is also free onboard Is it like sprite?! confusing that every country calls drinks different names! You call it cordial, others call it squash, in the US, we have Koolaid or fruit punch or lemonade. All are fruit flavored, non-alcoholic, non-fizzy water based drinks.

reedy8 Posted July 18, 2015 #22 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I emailed Royal Caribbean with that same question re cordial, they said no, even though I explained to them rasberry cordial was to be used sort of for medicinal purposes, for those non Australians amongst us, it is believed to help prevent 'Bali Belly' (and this may have some scientific merit according to my friends husband who is a scientist) so we will try and take some on board anyway. The worst that can happen is they take it away. Much cheaper than buying Travalan which is a commercial product that neutralises E-coli. I thought the lemonade might be sprite too :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the lemonade might be sprite too :-( I think you're getting the response you are because of the terminology you are using. The term "cordial" in the US refers to an alcoholic drink. It sounds as if you are asking to bring along a raspberry flavo(u)red beverage or beverage additive. I don't really think it is going to be a problem. Terminology can make a world of difference. Ask for a biscuit in the US, and you are not asking for a sweet treat. You will get a leavened bread product with the intention of typically adding butter, jelly, jam, or savory addons. A biscuit in other parts of the world are cookies in the US. Just a matter of difference in terminology can make a difference in what you receive.
