CCL Gift choices

[AppleValleyCruisers]

I am thinking of getting the "Fruit Supreme" basket for our cabin. Has anyone ordered this? Or, if not, what did you order in the way of food and/or wine, and was it good (not in value, but in quality :) )?

 

Thanks,

 

Tim

Have only ordered an Anniversary cake a few years ago, BUT, with so much food available do you really think a fruit basket will be eaten during your cruise?

Wine rarely goes to waste, or even chocolate, but not so sure about fruit :confused: JMHO

Hmm, good point. Having not sailed CCL, is fresh fruit readily available? The STBDW and I are going to try and eat somewhat healthy for at least snacks, try being the operative word.

I would also not recommend ordering a fruit basket. There is so much food always available.

 

There seems to always be "healthy dishes" available on the menus.

 

Room service is available 24/7.

 

Champagne or wine...would be my recommendation. Champagne @ sailaway is fun.

I agree. Go with the champagne basket or you can order a dozen roses for your cabin. They come in red or yellow.

Tim, yes there are fresh fruits offered daily on the ship. On Lido Deck in the mornings, there are baskets of bananas, apples, oranges.

 

In the dining room, you can order fresh fruit for every meal, if you like. For instance, on the breakfast menu: grapefruit, banana, melon in season, orange, grapefruit sections.

 

Also, on room service menu: 'whole fresh fruits'. (For a healthy snack, I've ordered the crudites of fresh veggies w/bleu cheese dip.)

 

You can definitely eat 'healthy' on Carnival ships. You'll find healthy choices on the dining room menus. The have 'spa' selections, which are lower in calories, sodium, cholesterol, and fat. You can also order desserts made with art.sweeteners, and diet dressing for your salads.

 

No worries for you and your fiancee' - happy cruising!:)
