Chips & snacks onboard

[ewenix]

Plenty of nuts at the bars, the WJ, the pool, etc.....

 

LOL! You beat me to it.

On CC too.;):p

 

:p :p :p

 

This is indeed where you will find them in bulk and in all types. :D

The majority of cruises are 7 days.

 

 

 

Not those in Australia, takes us 2 full days cruising to get to the nearest port of call!

 

Most cruises are at least 10-14 days out of Sydney, apart from just a few. :)

It's good to know someone understands my original post. To us Aussies, chips are potato crisps to the rest of the world. Not the French fries served hot at a Windjammer. I think I left out my punctuation marks so when I referred to choc chips I actually meant bars of chocolates & packets of chips or crisps & packets of lollies or sweets for those late afternoon cravings when sitting around sharing a few drinks & conversation with fellow cruisers. It certainly has made for some interesting reading though. Looks like I would be best to make sure I bring plenty of supplies with me.

 

Hi Maggie,

 

Fellow Aussie here & I understood you perfectly. :)

 

I have found Radiance has packets of chips in the Park café but never found any on Voyager. Sometimes they do have bowls of chips but doesn't seem to be consistent.

 

I have found also the snacks available in the onboard shop vary greatly from ship to ship & found all the salted nuts if US brands often had sugar added,

 

Most of the time though you can buy chocolate bars at the shop, I recall Toblerone, Snickers, Mars Bars, Kit Kats etc on recent cruises.

 

I have found you can get a fruit & nut mix at some bars they serve in glass containers.

 

However if you have your favourites that you can't live without best to take them with you. :)

 

Australian based cruises have a different variety of snacks I have found compared to the US based cruises I have done.

Pretty sure it's only Britain that calls a chip a crisp. :eek: Vast majority calls a chip a chip. ;)

I'm kind of surprised Australia wouldn't follow Britain's description

I would also recommend bringing your own snacks. We bring our own Sun Chips now. The staff put out a tray of them in the Solarium at lunch time but, oh my goodness! The guests swarmed to get them every day. It was like chum to sharks LOL! :p I saw a lot of folks eating them during movies & thought, that's a good idea! We also like to bring peanuts. I believe the Pringles were something like $6 a can. :eek:

Thanks again for lots of info & lots of chuckles. Yes you Aussie cruisers know exactly what I mean however our next cruise is from Southampton & we have six days at sea before our first port of Boston so maybe you can understand my questioning. I have had mixed nuts given to us in Schooner bars a few times but chips & chocolates are great comfort foods, whether I should or shouldn't eat them is beside the point. Nevertheless less I will pack my own stash.

Hi All,

Thanks for all the feedback and lots of laughs... Hubby and I are going on 5 day NE/Canada cruise in Sept. We eat healthy but Gerald has to have salty chips and we take them with us.:)
