Can you bring food from port back onto ship?

[klfhngr]

Will be in MR next week, was thinking of getting off really quick in Cabo or PV and bringing tacos back onto ship, lol!

[nelblu]

Not allowed.  As a matter of fact, a comedian on out Osis sail last night was talking about bringing food on board but was told company RCL policy does not allow.  Also, vice versa.

I've never had an issue bringing food onto the ship.  Bringing it off is potentially an issue.

[klfhngr]

Hmmm, guess I'll wait for more replies, but thanks all, so far!

[smokeybandit]

It really depends what you're bringing.  Is it a burger or something exotic that may be banned in other countries?

[shellunderwater]

Tacos?  Not sure about that.

 

Commercially prepped and sealed food, no worries.

I know someone who was not allowed to bring Holy Donuts back onboard in Portland, Maine.

Seems there was an issue up north with donuts being denied

 

So close😇

Street tacos wrapped in foil was the plan.

I've bought them onboard as well as lobster rolls from Portland and lobster rolls from Bar Harbor. Never had an issue.

Well, she was not happy.  She had bought 6 to eat over several days.  Not the first time that policies differ from ship to ship.  We love Holy Donuts but we buy one and eat it right then and there 🙂  Going back Oct 2023.

We have bought local speciality cakes on board before with no issue.

Take it out of their box and put it in a plain brown bag.

"Security" will likely let it in against the rules or not. Of course, you may get to enjoy the food while standing outside the ship.

Just put it in your backpack. Out of sight. Seems to work. Fruit is supposed to be a no no but a guy with one said well if they catch me they do. Food is smuggled on and off all the time.

Believe me, I know.  Cozumel can be eye opening.  There's always a trashcan full of fruit that people have tried to carry off but the dogs catch.

Only if they are from Gordo Lele’s in Cabo. 🌮

He is the best.

We have brought left-over wedding cake back on from a destination wedding. We declared it without any problems.
 

However, I can’t understand why you wouldn’t want to eat a street taco while it was fresh.

Maybe they're bringing them back for family/friends?

Maybe, still loses its appeal to me but to each their own.

 Good.  Vodou doughnuts are much better.

That's funny- just a couple of weeks ago, we saw people get Holy Donuts on the ship, and we brought some food from the bakery just across the road from the ship on board.  Yummy breakfast in our cabin for a few days.

 

And a few days later, we brought cookies on board that we bought at a "craft fair" that was held by local veterans in Sidney - this isn't the one in the port, BTW.

 

Not once have we had problems bringing food on the ship.

Okay.  I'm just reporting what she posted the day it happened.  It was pre-Covid.  Telling me that others have done it,  doesn't change her experience.   As I said, we've never brought food back onboard so no experience.

I prefer fresh too, but I'll get them from a place close to the ship and eat right away. Hence wrapped in foil.
