Can I Bring a Birthday Cake Onboard?

[bigb252]

Celebrating a birthday for my grandfather onboard the Getaway with family members (group of about 20 or so). Someone mentioned bringing a special cake on board.

 

If possible, would NCL store the cake for us? How long?

Are you aware NCL will provide a cake for just about any celebration you want? Or you can purchase a cake at the onboard bake shop.

 

My only on-board cake experience, which worked out great for our group celebration on the BA...

 

We purchased a cake photo-transfer from an online retailer a couple weeks prior to our cruise. Once on board, we took the transfer to the bake shop and asked if they could utilize the photo transfer for the cake we ordered. They welcomed the opportunity to help us out... even making sure that the cake was on stand-by at our restaurant that night. It turned out great!

I am guessing that taking a non packaged food either through the port security or onto the ship would not be permitted. But...as mentioned, they would be happy to help you celebrate a birthday....including the servers singing to you......

Hi! Yes we're aware that we can go through NCL and get a cake through them. Just checking our options though!

 

Thanks!

On my Getaway cruise we had several folks celebrating either birthdays or anniversaries that I ordered a cake for the Meet & Greet. I ordered a half of a sheet cake and it was delicious. It was a big hit at the Meet & Greet.

 

I haven't heard of anyone being able to take on to the ship that large of a food item. Small snacks but not a cake.
