grapau27 Posted September 21, 2017 #26 Share Posted September 21, 2017 That is a new Cruise Critic low...... When we were on NCL Gem several years ago they used to put salted snacks and popcorn on the tables in the bar. We have been in Diamond event room before the DL where the concierge brought salted snacks but there was no snack table.

Deemerio Posted September 21, 2017 #28 Share Posted September 21, 2017 On Voyager this year in the “R Bar” we received a glass full of nut mix with our cocktails. Loved it, was enough to keep us going till dinner. [emoji483]🥃 Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purescottish Posted September 21, 2017 #29 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I would NEVER eat a bar snack/nibbles unless it is in a sealed bag, I can't bear to think of people who have been to the toilet and not washed their hands then come to the bar and stick their hands in the dish/bowl or whatever they are served in. We used to do bar snacks in the pub where I used to work and it was stopped for that very reason according to Health and Hygene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overone45 Posted September 21, 2017 #31 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I remember a time when you would see nibbles placed in bars late afternoon. Things like pretzels etc. Even things like tortilla chips. Don't see that any more but is it because they no longer do them. My memory may be playing tricks but I am sure I have seen them occasionally but only on certain tables. So is it that you have to ask for them? Plus to share with you a minor annoyance ... I wish they sold packets of peanuts, cashews etc. so that I don't need to take them from home. I was on Pride of America earlier this year. They had snacks in little personal size carafes at the John Adams Bar. All you had to do was ask for them. I'm not sure about the other ships.

msjaxson Posted September 21, 2017 #32 Share Posted September 21, 2017 One reason I've never been interested in eating "snacks and nibbles" at a bar........ You know they toss anything out you dont eat right ?? They don reserve it or even reuse the container ..its treated like a glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overone45 Posted September 21, 2017 #33 Share Posted September 21, 2017 You know they toss anything out you dont eat right ??

Sascol Posted September 21, 2017 #34 Share Posted September 21, 2017 What's a "Nibble"?Must be a Euro thing...... I am in the U.S. and know the term.... Nibble, like something to nibble on, a snack. You've never heard this? Maybe a regional thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a regional thing. We don't use that kind of word down here in Texas. It's a little too wimpy. I thought is was a Euro word. But sound like a term that a baby would say.....

Bookish Angel Posted September 21, 2017 #41 Share Posted September 21, 2017 We got the nosh jar in the Schooner Bar on Grandeur without asking a couple of weeks ago. I was delighted until I saw there were raisins in the mix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daphnejune Posted October 11, 2019 #42 Share Posted October 11, 2019 We were just on the Vision and they still give the chex-mix snacks, but you have to ask. I would love the recipe if anyone has it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunkey1 Posted October 11, 2019 #44 Share Posted October 11, 2019 We get one of the plastic containers of mix at the grocery store and take our own. Nice to have with drinks or when playing cards.

CruiseKeeper Posted October 11, 2019 #45 Share Posted October 11, 2019 On the Ovation in the pub they had small snack-sized bags of nacho type chips for sale in a display behind the bar. They appeared to be sealed packages that were manufactured, not filled on the ship. I didn’t recognize the brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted October 11, 2019 #46 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Empress sometimes offers a small carafe with nuts at the Schooner Bar. I don't eat from shared containers at bars anywhere for all the reasons mentioned in this thread but they are there. They aren't sitting there all the day, they offer them with a drink but not knowing the history of the carafe I still avoid them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On NCL they have these little bottles that look almost like a tiny wine craft they put the bar snacks in that can't be reached into. You have to pick it up and dump a little bit into your hand. I love those because I have a huge don't touch my food phobia thing, to the point I make my family get their own little bowls of chips, popcorn etc and won't even share a bowl of nuts with my husband. (Which is stupid, I know, I mean I kiss him and so why does the idea that some tiny bit of his spit might touch my chip eeck me out so bad? I don't know!) I just can't stand the fact that people put their hands to their mouth and then reach in a common bowl of food. Even if I have just watched them wash their hands. Can't do it!

Justaddvodka68 Posted October 11, 2019 #48 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Adding that I could never walk up to a bar and eat what was there. I have to see the bartender take a clean craft and watch him fill it up and set it in front of me. Which was my experience on NCL. The bartenders would do this for each guest when they sat down.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums NCL also gives out individual trail mix at their bars. For the World Series they had popcorn and wings for free while watching the game. I imagine those perks won’t last much longer. But it was nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
