Potato Chips

[birdsinparadise525]

I know chips are available on the oasis class ships at Park Cafe, but are they available on any other RC ships?  We'll be on Mariner of the Seas on our next cruise.

 

Thanks in advance

Sometimes and some ships. You have to go on a scavenger hunt to find them.

I was gonna roll my eyes at this but my grandson has informed me that they are an essential food group. I know my son would order a bag with a sandwich from room service every night 🙄.  I imagine you’ll find them somewhere.

and I'll add Quantum class.

We have seen them in the Windjammer pre-shutdown on both Freedom and Voyager class ships. Radiance and Vison class ships have them at their Park Cafes in the Solarium.

Yes, definitely can get potato chips on any ship.  I love when I find sun chips.

[ROYAL CARIBBEAN DUDE]

You can buy chips in the shops onboard.

[Oceansaway17]

on Ovation and Anthem I found them in the back at lunch time in Two70.

BUT, you have to know to ask and they only allow so many per day.

i'm a chip addict so im glad to see they are somewhere. i hope they maybe even have chips/dip for room service. if i ever had a genie that would be my standard order every day

Only did I've seen is artichoke

[DJLDRUMS]

On the Oasis they didn't have the yellow bag of Frito-Lay's brand potato chips owned by Pepsi. Instead they had the Frito Cheddar Cheese chips and the Sun-Chips original that they were giving out at Park Cafe.

[luckyinpa]

i could probably get by with frito chips. never heard of the cheddar cheese before.  though i hope could find some ranch dip on board 

[AshleyDillo]

Other than from room service I don't know where they would be available on Mariner, actually.

[HicksRA]

We got some with room service on Independence last week. Didn’t see them anywhere else.  

[poocher]

Maybe that’s why he ordered some every night?!?!

I dont eat any junk food other than plain chips , so the lays brand in the park cafe were a nice thing to find . No dips, no artificial flavoring , just good old plain chips to accompany a sandwich.

Sometimes i eat them all on their own too.

The kettle fried ones are also tasty , dont know if you have the Miss Vicky brand. I have those in the house right now.

Yes, and people go through them like they've never had potato chips before.  On GR, in the solarium is where their park cafe counter is and at lunch time, it got so bad with people grabbing them, they started people having to ask and handing them a bag or two.  Several times they ran out of the plain potato chips.  People were hoarding them for snacking later which made a shortage at lunch time.  We've been on GR 7 times and several times they ran out before 1 pm.  There have actually been discussions about it in the past.

But do they have Ketchup flavoured potato chips on board. Yummy!

It's funny how the little things add up.  On our recent cruise having a bag of potato chips one day was a perfect treat with our drinks.  They used to hand up bottle of crunchies at bars, but, for obvious reasons, aren't doing that right now.  The chips added a little salty to go with our drinks.

 

One the other end of the spectrum, we also love the Ranger Cookies (they called them coconut oatmeal on our cruise.. not sure why) are really yummy and we've never been able to reproduce them at home.

 

We wouldn't stop cruise or cruise more often for any of these reasons, but it's always nice to find familiar treats.

Sailed on Oasis on Sept. 5th and disappointed as there was only 1 type available at Park Cafe.  Prior to the Pandemic, I was able to choose between some 3-4 types, including baked ones.  The same applied to the Quantum and Anthem sails.

 

Ps: I love the baked chips.

Never seen them on a ship.  When I was a Girl Scout and we would go camping, on the way to one particular girl scout camp we would stop at a small gas station/store and they had them.  I loved those things but have never found them since.  Apparently, you can get them in PA.

Your grandson is a wise young man

Wouldn't believe this if I hadn't seen it for myself.
