Bringing snacks on board

[Cruisinmimi321]

I know you cannot bring wine, soft drinks or water when you board, but are you allowed to bring candy or packaged cookies with you?

[Oakman58]

Yes you can.  We do it every time we cruise.

Packaged is the secret word.

Wine is permitted at port of departure......

You can bring wine onboard. 

 

Factory sealed packaged foods only. A ziplock baggie is not factory sealed. No fresh fruits, meats, cheeses. 

 

But,,,, there are hundreds of cookies available on the buffet line and there is no need to bring anything onboard.

No one cares what you bring on at the embarkation port, (food wise), but why would you take the effort unless it was a bag of candy, or special diabetic cookies.

We bring potato chips, pretzels, salted walnuts, and the all important M&M's with us when we cruise.

Wine is permitted anywhere so long as you either pay the $15 corkage fee OR have them hold it till debarkation.

Yes. Like everyone else said snacks have to be factory sealed. I once forgot I had an open bag of chips and banana in my backpack upon embarkation and cruise security caught it and told me to hand it over. However I bring factory sealed candy, chips, and gum all the time on my cruises. FYI, I just got off the Escape on Dec 21 after a 12 day cruise and at 2p-3p everyday in the buffet they brought out cookies, potato chips, and tortilla chips. I couldn’t resist. I ended up bringing my bags of chips back home.

I will be bringing gold fish crackers for the grand son...(I get to spoil him, lol)

Thanks for all of the replies.  On the other cruuse lines we have been on I have always brought a few candies, mints and a few cookies to keep in the room for late at night.  Thanks again for the replies.

We bring granola bars. They are great to take on excursions or to the beach in case we get hungry.

Why do people have to tell others what they do or don't need to do?  Or question other's motivations?

Maybe you have no need.  For plenty of other people (OP being one of them apparently) there are plenty of needs to bring food products on board.

Maybe there are foods that I like that aren't on the buffet? 

Snacks in particular are much easier to manage in the room if they are packaged.  Easy to keep in a drawer or closet without messing up other stuff you are storing.  I've brought my share of food back from the buffet but it's always in an open plate/bowl/napkin and hard to store anywhere other than the limited counter space.

Why do people have to tell others what they should or should not be posting?

You do realize I didn't tell anyone what they should or shouldn't post, right?

There is a tendency on these forums for people (especially a certain group of heavy posters) to make comments that implicitly belittle another poster's questions.  It's not healthy for the boards and I won't apologize for pointing it out when I see it.
