Bring food on board.

[ToAdam12]

Hello all just a question that I haven't thought of but my mother was saying that she wanted to bake cookies for my up coming cruise. She didn't want to spend the money on buying it thru carnival. Are you allowed to bring something like that on board?

Yes, you can bring cookies and other snacks with you.

From the FAQ.... That is if they find them ofcourse. They might not find them. But there's food everywhere lol.

 

Can I bring food items onboard due to dietary restrictions?

 

Items must be pre-packaged, unopened and cannot require any food prep from the dining staff. Homemade items or pre-cooked foods will not be permitted onboard. All items will need to be stored in the stateroom; the ship's storage and/or refrigeration are not available for this use.

Limitations on permitted food items are directly related to concerns for food safety and contamination prevention. Carnival Cruise Lines is unable to provide food preparation, refrigeration or storage for personal food or beverage items.

Yeah you can bring food onboard with you. My dad is diabetic so we bring a bag of candy on with us in case his sugar levels get low during the night

They frown on homemade goods; its hard to tell if there is any pot baked in them thar brownies.

I understand what everyone is saying I know about the situation on board. My my is a great baker and makes them completely from scratch. No offense to the ships food which is delightful but my mom makes great baked goods. Has anyone be told no. Thank you for posting official rules. But what about unofficially?

You can bring pre package snacks like Oreos or chips... Nothing cooked no fruits

Correct and especially the fruits!

 

I've often brought homemade Chex mix and have never had a problem.

I'm sure they are wonderful, but please enjoy them at home, before or after your cruise. You won't miss them, I promise. There are so many food choices, they will be redundant, even if you could get them aboard.

I would gently let her know, you would love to have the lovely home made cookies after your cruise. What a nice welcome home!

On another note: whats up with my countdown clock? I cruise on the 19th and today is the 2nd. My clock still shows 24 days? I don't think so..

I was on a cruise where we did a gift exchange and someone bought a homemade food item in a tupperware container.

OP if you really want to take the cookies just put them in a container in your luggage.

Official is official...what don't you understand? The only foods you can bring on board are original store packaged. They run your carryons through a scanner like at the airport. They will search your bags and confiscate whatever they want. You also cannot take any food off the ship unless it is in its original sealed bag or container.

Just remember to bring enough for everybody.

Now that's fair!

[hftmrock]

Actually, you can bring any kind of food onto the ship. You just can't take it off.

 

actually you are wrong.

My wife made two large gallon bags of home made trail mix and Chex mix. They were in the carry on bag with our three bottles of wine ...they were seen by security and nothing was said. Folks in the next cabin had a pile of home made oatmeal raisin cookies they shared with us around the balcony divider..... so much for not being permitted.

doesnt mean its permitted and doesnt mean that these cookies wont get confiscated.

 

if someone wants to take a chance... fine. but dont get upset if your favorite homemade cookies gets confiscated.

I'm not gonna complain. The reason why I was asking was to see if someone has done it. I would be fine if they take them. It's asking has anyone sneaked in booze before with out knowing about rum runners. My mom bakes me things for the x-mas and I really look froward to if because we do t live close by. I live in Miami so TSA is not an issue. But I simply wonder would it be better to put it a carry on or check it. If they get taken I would under stand. But I am asking for help. Some people on here make assumptions about things. Getting practical advice is what this site for. Trust me I have been on more then a few cruises. I've seen all sorta things get thru on a ship. The good and the bad. Don't know how don't wanna know but smelled someone smoking meth in an out door deck. He got busted 3 mins latter. But clearly he got that on somehow.

I don't mean to direct that all at you I am sorry for that but I just started venting.

[OCruisers]

You are not going to go to the "Naughty Room" for bringing your Mom's cookies with you. ;)

no worries... I do hope there is no problem with your cookies. Just wanted to make sure you know that its not permitted and if they are taken, they will be thrown out.

 

You appear to know that so, good luck!

Again sorry. I think I'm just gonna leave them in the box they come in. It is a bakers box. But who knows.

You can wrap the baker's box in birthday paper, like it's a gift. I really don't think you are going to have a problem. The screener's are looking for serious things, not homemade cookies. :rolleyes:

 

Enjoy!

playing devils advocate with this, I think they will scrutinize it more if its fully wrapped. I assume lots of people try this and I bet they check 'wrapped gifts' pretty carefully
