Ambermark Posted February 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Odd question I know but since seeing a video of breakfast and seeing they have American cereal, my daughter is very excited about the idea of American sweets to try :rolleyes: Do they sell any American sweets in shops on board (we're on navigator). All the amazing things on board and she's excited about sweets lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted February 1, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I've seen some candy bars in the shops if that is what you are asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambermark Posted February 1, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Thanks guys. :) I think she's thinking about the American sweets she hears mentioned on tv, like sour patch kids, milk duds etc. We live in the U.K. so don't get any of that here :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more of those in the ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky1987 Posted February 1, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Not sure on your ship...but on Harmony this week they have various candy bars, sour patch kids, Haribo gummy bears and a few other things...

Your post made me remember that Oasis class ships have a candy store on the Boardwalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbjen Posted February 1, 2018 #8 Share Posted February 1, 2018 British people call candy ‘sweets’ ;) I know they sold some candy in the duty free store on Navigator but it was mostly giant Toblerone type stuff. I don’t remember seeing much of anything else unfortunately. Milk Duds are gross anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambermark Posted February 1, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Ohhh they have the giant toberones?! Well I'm happy then lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted February 1, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Not sure of your itinerary, but there is, or used to be, a huge candy store at the port in Grand Cayman. If you are flying to the US, you should be able to pick up some sweets at the airport, if you are arriving the night before the cruise, there will likely be stores around your hotel that will have candy for your daughter If you are on your role call thread, there may be someone on that role call who would be willing to bring some sweets to your daughter. I know I would. Enjoy. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Dazzles Posted February 1, 2018 #11 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Definitely purchase at the airport or store before boarding. There might be some candy on board, but very expensive and not a great selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the amazing things on board and she's excited about sweets lol. at a stupidly ridiculous markup and the candy bars will almost certainly be stale. just by them at the airport Newspaper shops( also a mark up but not as bad as on the ship) or if you are coming in a day early, get a taxi and head to a drug store(chemist) like Walgreens or CVS candy there is plentiful and not heavily overpriced. or, better yet, go on your room call and arrange a trade. I would love to trade some American candy for REAL Cadbury's or a Jammy Dodger. I recommend Reeces Pieces and peanut butter cups. I also have an Aussie friend who begs me for boxes of Twinkies every so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambermark Posted February 1, 2018 Author #13 Share Posted February 1, 2018 We're sailing from the uk so no luck with going to shops before leaving :( Great idea about asking on roll call though :) mine is a bit quiet at the moment but it is early :) Though sadly I don't think there is such a thing as REAL Cadburys anymore, glass and a half of milk in every bar has long gone lol.

Surprised my daughter didn't get them, she chose Swedish Fish instead (another one of her favorites). SaveSave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted February 1, 2018 #15 Share Posted February 1, 2018 One of our must do's when in a new country is to visit a grocery store so we can see what things are different and interesting. You might try finding a grocery store in one of the ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalaniiwow Posted February 1, 2018 #16 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Find a Walgreens near the port. You can get any American candy you want and the prices are much cheaper than you would pay on a ship or at the airport. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be some candy on board, but very expensive and not a great selection. THIS. The selections on board will be limited and EXPENSIVE. Even buying some at an airport gift shop will save you major dollars AND your selection will be greater. If you were going on the Oasis class ships, they have a candy shop...but the Navigator has nothing of the sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure sugar and incredibly unhealthy. Plus, it’s all fairly vile stuff anyway Sorry, no offence meant. I’m also British, but as we have family in the US who are one the largest candy/sweet manufacturers I do know what I’m talking about.

lbjen Posted February 2, 2018 #25 Share Posted February 2, 2018 British Snickers are better than American ones, the chocolate is better! My sister manages to find American candy on Amazon UK, maybe check there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
