MichelleChell Posted October 6, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) So I was in Galveston today with my son having a little fun and lunch. It was 11:30 and it was busy down by the ships. We were headed to a dolphin tour. Anyway I passed a bunch of crew from the Magic walking back from shopping and I saw some on the strand. They all had bags from going and buying things they need on the ship. Ya wanna know what the one thing I noticed shining thru each bag was?!? CANDY and CHOCOLATE!! IDK how many posts I have read where people wanna bring them a gift. I agree cash is king and they can go buy what they want with it. However it does prove it is one of the things that they want.

MichelleChell Posted October 6, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted October 6, 2014 LOL funny. I doubt many were stateroom stewards as it was turn around time and they would be cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiCruiseDreamer Posted October 6, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Since we usually cruise around halloween, we bring on board with us some kind of trick or treat container full of chocolate. What is left over, which is always a good amount, we leave it for the cabin steward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExFed drvr Posted October 6, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) I have started carrying a bag of Hershey's minatures and tell my room steward to get some everytime he is in my room. While on the Dream I tok two bags and was passing out candy in the casino and especially to the ladies (Claudia) working the cashiers cage(they liked the crunch bars)....Dennis Edited October 6, 2014 by ExFed drvr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorN Posted October 6, 2014 #9 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Cash is king. Let them buy what they want with it, not what one thinks they might like. I can not imagine how many trinkets guests have given to employees that are now at the bottom of the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
