killtheump Posted July 31, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I realize everyone is different when it comes to the foods we eat. But I wonder if it's necessary to pack any snacks. I have always found something to eat on the ship, never had to bring snacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 31, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Food is available 24 hours on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishcraig Posted July 31, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 31, 2014 What kind of snacks are you thinking of? There will be plenty of "sweet" stuff, but very little "salty or savoury", like potato chips or peanuts unless you want overpay for them in the on board shop.

MrsCruise2007 Posted July 31, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I always pack some small snacks...granola bars, trail mix, crackers. I am a continual snacker at home though and sometimes just want something small to tide me over. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dacsmom Posted July 31, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 31, 2014 No, I can always find something to eat on the ship. I do have a weakness for those oatmeal raisin cookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S&Slovecruises Posted July 31, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I realize everyone is different when it comes to the foods we eat. But I wonder if it's necessary to pack any snacks. I see you are going on the Grandeur. We have been on Grandeur many times and they have plenty of food. The Park Cafe has bags of chips with all the other food during the day so we take a few bags to our room to save for later. They also have really good cookies that you can save. Mine usually don't make it back to the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted July 31, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 31, 2014 We've never packed any sort of snacks to take on the ship with us. There's so much food on ships. :) LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life is Good Cruising Posted July 31, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I usually bring something chocolate, either raisinetts, snow caps or Hershey's kisses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kcruiser2014 Posted July 31, 2014 #10 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I never being snacks. Too many choices already on the ship. My DH however, has to bring his little gummy bears, cheese and peanut butter crackers and sweet tarts. I have no idea how one guy who eats so much junk can stay so thin!!!! Makes no sense to me, but he just likes to have his normal "munchies" in his nightstand drawer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvWilliam Posted July 31, 2014 #11 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I brought Larabars and some packets of peanut butter for apples on the ship... We are vegan so choices aren't extensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lah66 Posted July 31, 2014 #13 Share Posted July 31, 2014 We always bring snacks with us when we cruise! Usually granola bars, trail mix or cheese crackers. On port days we rarely eat a meal off the ship unless it is included in our excursion. Our goal is to spend as much time as possible, face down in the water! A granola bar and a water bottle gets us through the day! Lauri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llmtax2000 Posted July 31, 2014 #14 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I don't pack snacks, but I do snag snacks on board to save for later times. For example, I always grab some of the cereal boxes from the windjammer or room service to bring on excursions or to munch on in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted August 1, 2014 #15 Share Posted August 1, 2014 We;ve never needed snacks...the ship has so much food, it's totally redundant. Sure...they don't have chips or popcorn..but who cares? It's not something I'll miss for 7 days or so. Heck...on a 10 nighter, we only drank 2 cans of soda between us. You can "make do" for a lousy week.

WinterEscape Posted August 1, 2014 #16 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I have also never taken snacks. We even managed fine without bringing any with our toddler in tow. We were always able to find fruit and Cheerios for him ;) Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Dazzles Posted August 1, 2014 #17 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Noticed a lot of people mentioning chips - probably depends on the ship, but Park Cafe on Allure and Oasis had lots of bags of chips - different flavors, Sun chips, pretzels, etc. Also, ordered a sandwich on the Allure from room service and it came with a bag of chips (didn't ask for), so I think chips are available, you just have to request or perhaps look a little further.

denamo Posted August 1, 2014 #18 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Only reason we have snacks at all is due to airline travel in case of delays. I can't tell you how many times we've come back with the snacks we took. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kymbakitty Posted August 1, 2014 #19 Share Posted August 1, 2014 We are usually gone for at least two weeks at a time. And my DH loves See's Candy. He believes it is some of the best chocolates in the world (seriously). So he always take 2 pounds (hand selected, of course) and shares it with housekeeping. I don't think they care, but he lets them pick their own piece every day. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerif Posted August 1, 2014 #20 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I always bring some protein bars for port days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidygirl Posted August 1, 2014 #21 Share Posted August 1, 2014 We take some snacks with us like Pringles, gummies, tootsie rolls etc so when we go off the ship we have something to nibble on till we get back. DH wouldn't eat dry cereal (unless maybe if he was starving!) We did take a little bag of candy for our room attendant and gave it to him on Easter he was quite pleased!

heyabbott Posted August 1, 2014 #22 Share Posted August 1, 2014 M&Ms peanut, dark chocolate and almond. Goes great with the Veuve Clicqout we bring. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandagal1939 Posted August 1, 2014 #23 Share Posted August 1, 2014 We always take some trail bars for port excursions mainly because DH is diabetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted August 1, 2014 #24 Share Posted August 1, 2014 The only time we might have some snacks is if we've taken the train and they just happen to be in my bag. Otherwise, snacks are so unnecessary. We have gotten a trail mix in the Viking Crown on a couple of ships in the evening. After eating 3 meals every day plus an afternoon snack, we don't need anything else. Our goal is not to gain weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illyria Posted August 1, 2014 #25 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Never, since I don't eat most of that junk at home (with the exception of pop tarts and gummi bears...) There are so many different foods to try on the ship, I'm never hungry enough to even think about snacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
