Imagine the things folks would put in a microwave at the buffet on a cruise ship.  

Safely wrapped in foil.

Not for public use, but they exist. We have this exact same model in the coffee room at work. 

Microwave in the sushi bar? That’s just wrong

Where can I make popcorn with no microwave?

Stay in the Haven and ask your butler to make it. 
 

I asked for popcorn one day in the Haven and it was a bag of microwave popcorn.

For what it's worth, the cardboard water bottles make a great hot water bottle, as we discovered when my mom got covid on board. She was cold and I had to improvise so I took an empty, filled it with hot water, wrapped it in a towel and laid it on another towel beside her. Kept checking it for leaks.  Held strong, perfectly dry!

 

The next day I forgot it was in the bed and SAT on it. The seams gave a tiny bit with a tiny bit of leakage, but I have to say I was impressed at the sturdiness of it, even having held hot water. I thought for sure I would have popped it!

 

Can't vouch for every individual bottle's integrity, but it's definitely worth a try if you keep the proper precautions and put a towel under it in case of leaks.

Great suggestion (brilliant thinking)!  Thank you!!!

Did 'ya kinda look at the post right before yours where I showed you a picture of a microwave in the kitchen area of a restaurant on an NCL ship?

I saw it.  But it was irrelevant to the discussion I was having which was related to posts that appeared before your picture.

I’m loving the water carton idea. I’ve been wondering the same thing about heating pads.  I frequently need them to quell restless legs.
