Sealed crips and candied can be brought onboard at the embarkation port https://www.ncl.com/ca/en/cruise-faq/what-to-bring What can't I bring onboard? Unsealed food items will not be allowed onboard.

Violating these rules can be a very serious offense and the country may impose quite harsh penalties to include very large fines or even jail time.

Whether someone follows the rules is irrelevant to the fact that the rules prohibit certain activities and the consequences for violating those rules can be severe.

wolfcathorse Posted April 22, 2023 #19 Share Posted April 22, 2023 There is a difference between bringing food on/off the ship in port and at the homeport. It's opened packages and fresh fruits/vegetables that are banned. DH husband didn't know this and had to throw away a carton of roasted almonds he bought at a market in Mexico, because he was bringing food, not hermetically sealed, onboard. I've seen people standing by the ship trying to finish their Conch fritters that they bought in Nassau. Our CD told us unopened packages are OK. I have never had a problem bringing unopened packages of candy, juice, or gluten free granola bars. My husband is diabetic and subject to seizures in the middle of the night when his blood sugar drops. He takes the bars on shore excursions with his glucose tabs in case he tanks during the excursion. Nobody has ever, in 19 years of cruising out of North America, Australia, or Europe, confiscated my unopened snacks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacation44 Posted April 22, 2023 #20 Share Posted April 22, 2023 We bring snacks on board for the purpose of bringing them onshore with us. Pringles and twizzlers are our normal. The leftovers are then brought back with us onto the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
