American Candy on Celebrity

[KiwiFunCruiser]

Hi, Daughter want's know if the candy sold on board is mainly American as she loves those Butterfingers etc?. Not always easy to find in NZ. Thanks'.

don't waste money on the ship.. STALE out of date and way too bloody expensive. just hit a store in the embarkation port. heck, the vending machines at the hotel you stay at the night before will be fresher and only slightly overpriced.

 

any grocery store, drug store or mini mart will have junk food.

I had no idea they sold candy on board - where?

Butterfingers are one of my favorites also. And, Peanut Butter Cups. Yum! :p

 

If you daughter likes Butterfingers, she will probably like the Peanutbutter Ice Cream. OMG, to die for. ;)

 

You might get her to try the waffles also. :) :)

I've bought a few candy bars on board (as if I needed them but good for a snack on a tour) and didn't run into a problem. It is limited and is sold in the general-type store where they have over the counter meds and knicknacks, sundries.

 

I forget its name but it's usually where the t-shirts and light stuff is.

Oh, yeah, now I know where - right with all the shops. I was picturing someplace different.

Thank's Texed, I think I will try the ice cream as well and the waffles, I'm a big kid at heart. You two, have an "Awesome" Christmas.

I just had a thought...maybe there's someone on your Roll Call who is coming for your cruise from the US and would be willing to buy your daughter a sack of candy bars and just throw it into their luggage?

If she likes Butterfingers, she will need to try these. They hit the market next month. I tried them recently at a meeting. They were good but I still like Reese's Cups too.

THAT is an EXCELLENT idea. Offer to trade your local stuff.. I'd kill for some Violet Crumbles... do you also have Caramel Koalas?! *droooool*
