Doggie Bag?

[briehon]

Can I take a doggie bag say from a specialty restaurant if I don't finish what I order? I hate wasting food and sometimes, since I have paid extra for it, would prefer my leftovers to something I can get at the windjammer for breakfast or lunch.

You might be able to take a doggie bag, but you won't have any way to heat it up. I've taken dessert to-go from the dining room to eat later that night.

[schmeed]

Yes, you can.  They will offer to go containers.  As Jim stated, heating it up won't be too easy.

Also, often the refrigerators are simple coolers rather than true refrigerators  and won't keep an item cold enough for safe eating later.

 

but, I guess if you have a dog on board.........Wait....... that is another thread!

Dessert is fine.  You won’t really be able to safely store or heat anything else.

Bring baggies with you.  Put the leftover food in the baggie.  Seal.  Put it inside your ice bucket and put the ice bucket in your refrigerator.

Brilliant idea. I've saved bacon strips from breakfast to make blt's at lunch. Put them in a baggie  on ice but never thought about that refrig/cooler. That would provide great insulation!

They don't have doggie bags, they have plates with lids, the same as if ordered from room service.

Agree, always bring small and large size baggies

And you can then take it off the ship

No, you cannot. The only things you can take off the ship are factory sealed items such as packets of crackers, nuts, little cereal boxes, protein bars and the like.

Which is why MM said to bring your own.

and on disembarkation morning you can take some food from b/fast home for dinner 

[leerobbs]

Stop!  That is just not cool.  A doggie bag for leftover food on a cruise ship...you can't be serious...the whole idea is kinda funny though since it's over the top ridiculous.

[sandebeach]

We have often brought our dessert back to our room, because we have felt too full to enjoy it. Just remember to also get a fork to bring with you. 

[SAmome]

Since it could be used for sharing with others back in the room; say parents get UDP and order multiple entrees and bring pasta, most of a steak and fixings back for teens to eat right then, it's probably something RCCL should NOT allow for those with the unlimited plan. If specialty dining not related to Unlimited, fine, but likely not a great idea (outside of dessert) for the reasons mentioned above and a hassle for servers.

Just bring your dog 🐶! 😂

I have done it with dessert as well - especially back in the day when Portofino offered those oh so yummy slices of flourless chocolate cake.

You are not supposed to take food off the ship.

 

In some ports/countries, this is a serious offense.

[fdthird]

Oh boy...some interesting answers.

What about if I bring one of these to heat up my leftover lobster ?
