iruser Posted July 3, 2013 #101 Share Posted July 3, 2013 cruising in October. How many of these things do you think I can get on my carry on luggage with the airplane home to hand out to the kiddies for Halloween? Could save fifty dollars compared to buying candy at the store. look mom cruise ship candy, I don't know if I should trick or treat that house. tee hee hee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cweather Posted July 3, 2013 #103 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Hope you don't get a cabin steward that takes them. I was saving mine to take home to the grandkids and on the 2nd to last night he took all but 2. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakyBeef Posted July 3, 2013 #104 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Depends on number of nights and how many per cabin! And how nice your steward is trying to be. I didn't have the heart to turn them down and tell him we don't really like them when our steward gave us a huge double handful "for the children". He was being sweet and generous and it was easier just to thank him and take them.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamlhj Posted July 3, 2013 #105 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I actually asked for extra mints (Sept '12). Would break the mints up & sprinkle them on the soft ice cream.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vols_159 Posted July 3, 2013 #106 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Those chocolate squares that your stateroom steward leaves in your cabin every evening are absolutely disgusting. The quality of this chocolate is very poor and I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't real chocolate. Probably some chocolate flavored thing from China. I don't remember the old ones being mint but these have no mint flavor - not sure if they supposed to or not. They only thing nice about them is the wrapper.

celticd1 Posted July 3, 2013 #107 Share Posted July 3, 2013 No that's OK, don't want you to strain on my account. I totally got it. Disgusting, chalky, fake chocolates in imitation wrappers sitting on a diluted Fun Times that was much better when it was Carnival Capers next to a poorly made towel animal...;) Well, bless you heart! I can see that you tried to understand but apparently you got confused. I never mentioned anything at all about the Fun Times or a "poorly made towel animal". You may want to consider a remedial reading course to increase your comprehension skills before posting again. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funinthesun1964 Posted July 3, 2013 #110 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Since I don't eat the chocolates, I would like to make sure I understand: Do the chocolates REALLY taste fake, chalky, waxy? And are they fake chocolate? :p :D Here's my input - If you like them, fine, eat them if you want. If you take a bite and find that you don't like, spit it out and never try again. Or, my preference, leave them alone and maybe someone else will eat them...or not. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneedeep1964 Posted July 3, 2013 #111 Share Posted July 3, 2013 They should come with a label saying they are certified kosher, or a nut allergy warning if necessary. I am sure they are probably made by some major manufacturer of lesser quality chocolate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I do believe they are fake chocolate. But that could not be confirmed due to lack of extra scientific equipment.:p And, FWIW, I completely agree with your input.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShakyBeef Posted July 3, 2013 #122 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I forgot to mention: during my very scientific, official taste testing, I noticed that the new "chocolates", underneath their new wrappers, have the same pattern imprinted on their tops as the old chocolates. This leads me to believe they are still made by the same factory. But I could be wrong. It doesn't happen very often, but has once or twice.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
