mickeychicky Posted July 30, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2015 RCCL website doesn't really talk about bringing on your own snacks for your cruise. Does anyone know if we can pack in our luggage things like granola bars, can of cashews, rice crispy treats? Thinks of that nature? Would hate to pack this stuff and then have it taken away. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanciRDH Posted July 30, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I've always packed a jar of peanuts when we travel...it was my DHs family thing, no vacation is complete without it lol. When we have a port intensive cruise I've also packed items like you've mentioned to bring off with us on excursions. It's never been an issue, and it's always in my checked luggage. We know there are plenty of choices for food onboard, but sometimes you just need a snack, right? You aren't allowed to bring fresh food off the ship, but pre packaged items are ok.

bouhunter Posted July 30, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Anything prepackaged is fine. When our daughter was younger my wife would bring lots of that stuff. So much food available on board, most of it went home with us......:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniPac Posted July 30, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I think it is no problem bringing food/snacks onboard on embarkation. The issue is only to take food/snack off when in port - no matter if you brought the food with you on embarkation day or if you took it from the buffet.

cb at sea Posted July 30, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 30, 2015 You can bring almost ANY food onboard...but only "pre-packaged" foods can leave the ship... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickeychicky Posted July 30, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Because there is not enough food on a cruise... :D I know - I probably won't even need any snacks but didn't want to get them taken away if I even tried to bring them on board. And I'm sure the snacks on board are probably double the cost than what WalMart charges - so if I can save a few bucks then I'm all for that. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fischymom Posted July 30, 2015 #11 Share Posted July 30, 2015 We always brought snacks like peanuts and M & M's , those were more our late night quick handful grab of something sweet/salty fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impatientlywaiting Posted July 30, 2015 #12 Share Posted July 30, 2015 We always bring Costco's individually packaged trail mix for excursions off the ship. I pack them in our checked baggage and they've never been removed and our luggage has never been sent to the naughty room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alohaaloha Posted July 30, 2015 #13 Share Posted July 30, 2015 My husband always brings extra candy and cookies aboard for his late night treats- never had a problem. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yj_eugene Posted July 30, 2015 #14 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I think it is no problem bringing food/snacks onboard on embarkation DW is diabetic, so we always bring a few packages of various snacks in case she needs to eat something quickly to regulate her blood sugar or needs to eat a little something before taking one of her meds. Never had an issue bringing them on, and the sealed ones go with us ashore on port days. Once on board we also go get some fruit from the Windjammer and bring back to the cabin to have on hand for the same reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

searoses Posted July 30, 2015 #16 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I find most desserts on most ships mostly blah....not worth the calories....always have a stash of peanut m&ms because I am on vacation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the food is pre-packaged there is no issue with taking it off at the ports...fruit or sandwiches would be different matter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soups Posted July 31, 2015 #18 Share Posted July 31, 2015 While it is fine to bring any legal prepackaged foods I personally try to avoid peanut items to avoid spreading peanut oil and dust. Sadly too many kids are deathly allergic. No flames please. I know those who are allergic presume peanuts are everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. as you can tell by my signature, we have cruised a lot. I take pretzels, FF Pringles, bags (gallon size bags) of mixed nuts, etc. NEVER in 20 plus years of cruising have we ever had our snacks taken from us. So I would not worry. sometimes my pretzels are in the original bag unopened and other times in ziplock bag. Mixed nuts always in ziplock. Just never an issue. I am a snacker and I like my snacks so always take stuff with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhfy Posted July 31, 2015 #20 Share Posted July 31, 2015 We always bring a large can of cashews & a couple of cans of Pringles (only time we eat Pringles is on a ship). I like the salty crunch (& salt air does a nasty number on chips). I also bring lots of Lindt truffles. So nice to sit on your aft balcony with a nice glass of good wine & a little snack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickels Posted July 31, 2015 #21 Share Posted July 31, 2015 We've cruised on NCL, RCI and Celibrity and have never had a problem with bring our own choice of snacks. Now alcohol is a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mek Posted July 31, 2015 #22 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Because there is not enough food on a cruise... :D There are very few salty, crunchy, munchy snacks available on a ship unless you buy them in one of the gift shops where the selection is limited and way overpriced. After a few days, I get tired of sweets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JamesEM Posted July 31, 2015 #23 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I brought some nuts in a can and wound up in the naughty room, not illegal but does show up on the x-ray, so now I purchase my snacks in plastic bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
