What's you favorite DIY treat

[Kethry88]

I have heard people mixing chocolate milk from breakfast with soft serve ice cream to milkshakes. Although you can buy them on ship it gets rather expensive. We plan on using this idea on our upcoming cruise.

 

Ooh, now there's an idea I'll have to try. Planning on getting a soda card this time so I might try various soda floats, too.

 

 

(OT: I've been following the roll-call thread but haven't been posting in it because I can't get anyone else I'm traveling with to join CC, lol. Still, there's a couple months left to try.)

I used to like getting some cold slaw, Russian or thousand island dressing and add it to pastrami and corned beef Sammy.

Also like to get the morning juice ( guava/passion fruit ) and add rum…

Just wondering if you brought the corded Bullet or the cordless one on your cruise?

Well... It was a small travel blender, and even though they took it, we got it back on the last night of the cruise. We search for the reason and the only thought that we can up with was that it was an household appliance. Those are a big no-no. but now we just all pack one. Last cruise we had 4 blenders, 2 regular and 2 ninja's. :eek:

Gee, I didn't know my concoction had a name. I sometimes put my fries on my McDonalds cheese burger. That way you don't get grease from the fries on your fingers. Kathy

Orange juice from breakfast, soft serve vanilla ice cream with a shot of vodka from BV. Yum.

 

Enjoy your cruise :cool:

half lemonade / half tea.

 

Or ordering the fruit for dessert along with the warm chocolate melting cake - I like this particularly when the WCMC is too runny - it becomes like a chocolate fondue when dipping the fruit.

 

OR spoon the runny fudge over the ice cream-- instant hot fudge sundae!:D

This is the thread!!!

 

I've now bookmarked it, thank you.

 

I love some of these concoctions and can't wait to try some of them!

[stepha06]

Some of this sounds amazing! I sometimes wish I could eat sugar :( I would so love to make the vodka cicle. Oh well :(

[tanyaewa]

Loved this thread.... Looking for more ideas!

[cruisinJenF]

Love the fake cheese on fries and I top it with the chili they have by the hot dogs !

[Rudyard]

Some great ideas here. I might just have to try them all :D

We made our own fruitbowl for our cabin. We kept the dome-lid from our room service breakfast and then turned it upside down and each time we would eat at the buffet, we would bring back a piece or two of fresh fruit. It was really nice to have a healthy snack in the cabin or a banana for a quick breakfast. We really lucked out too, because on our last cruise, the buffet had peaches, plums and big globe grapes in addition to the usual apples, bananas and pears. :)

Oh, this just gave me a great idea. Grab some fruit and some bon voyage (or smuggled...I dont judge) liquor and put it in a bubba keg. Get a tropical punch flavored crystal light packet and mix with some water, then add to the liquor and fruit. Voila! You just made PJ! Grapes work the best!

Last year my grandfather gave me a bottle of his home made apple pie moon shine to bring with... It's slighty rough on it's own so we mixed it up with some soft serve!

[RenoNanaOz]

A little OJ in with the bubbly I brought, out on the balcony;) Not a bad way to start the day.

[marshhawk]

Not on a cruise, but.... Drive thru Sonic and get a lime slushie. Get home and open a bottle of tequila! WOW:D

 

Thats a cheater margariter.

[ChristieDawn]

Ohhhh you could do a COKE float or a rootbeer float with that soft serve! Hello yummy-ness!

 

that's what we do!!! yummy!

[cruizinator]

I bring a 44oz cup and a few cans of root beer.... and make myself a root beer float!

At breakfast on Lido I like putting peanut butter on toast and adding bacon (when I can get enough out of the bacon police LOL)

That is one of my favorite breakfasts at home growing up

apple pie moonshine is the best. It really sneaks up on ya

Pastrami and mustard on the soft serve ice cream

Oh, I LOVE this too. Put a little smearing of mayo on top of the peanut butter too. It just adds a little something to it. ;)This was a sandwich my mom made us for treats growing up. (if you don't see mayo at breakfast, just ask for it or grab a packet from the grill from lunch the previous day and bring it to breakfast)

I'm loving all these ideas. I'll have to try some of them on our first cruise next month. I was worried about the tea since I've read that it's awful. DH is really picky about his tea and doesn't like the taste of lemon in it (although I'll try it with 1/2 lemonade), but I'll see if mixing it with ice water will work for him. Do you ask for an extra glass to mix it in?

 

Thanks everyone! :)

My DH loves to put coffee in a large insulated mug and add chocolate icecream and the kids are big fans of making chip buttys with lots of sauce.

 

Do you have any creations that you like to create from food and drinks available on the ships?

 

What are chip buttys?

[Gemynii]

What are chip buttys?

 

I didn't know what it was either, but a couple of people answered that further along in the thread. It's kind of like a french fry sandwich.
