sonujohar Posted November 10, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 10, 2014 We are cruising with our 18 month old and I was wondering if anyone with small kids knew if they have organic whole milk on the Breakaway? If not, not anyone know if the mini-bar in the room could be emptied out and a gallon of milk be kept in there? Is it big enough for 1 gallon or perhaps 2 1/2 gallons?

JRos Posted November 10, 2014 #2 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) Jumping on. We are going on Getaway soon with our son, who will be 20 months. He also only drinks organic whole milk, as he tolerates it better than non-organic. Are we allowed to bring milk on board? Will it be confiscated?

singelsethc Posted November 10, 2014 #3 Share Posted November 10, 2014 interesting question..can't say for sure. I just got off Getaway. to me I would think of the coffee bar or something. ship seemed pretty family friendly. bringing on in Miami I don't think they'd have a problem, but I would personally inquire first. I know if you were in Haiti or something and bought it offshore they wouldn't want it onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to check with the head farmer though, as the farm on deck three might have organic dairy cows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliceOfLife Posted November 10, 2014 #5 Share Posted November 10, 2014 The Mini Fridge can be emptied, but I don't know if you could get a half gallon container in there. You might have to pick up the smaller sized containers but check to make sure you can bring dairy onto the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if the Breakaway fridges are the same as the Getaway's, they are really small. I can visualize pint bottles in there, but not sure about anything bigger. A bottle of wine had to be placed on its side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvsullivan Posted November 10, 2014 #8 Share Posted November 10, 2014 They will not have organic whole milk on board. Since the rooms are sometimes not ready until about 2 pm, boarding time will be important, I don't know how long you can keep the milk at room temps? I would be looking at pint containers to be sure. The room fridges are pretty small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyhanek Posted November 10, 2014 #9 Share Posted November 10, 2014 You're not going to get organic anything. It will be easy to get whole milk though. As far as the mini fridge, they don't get cold enough or stay cold enough to keep milk safely cold. The refrigerators in the rooms keep things just barely cold. More like cool.

cigarboo Posted November 10, 2014 #12 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Bring the individual size containers that do not need refrigeration. Of course once opened, it does need refrigeration, but you would have lots more options with space and won't have to worry about your week's supply of milk spoiling.

Zeta3 Posted November 10, 2014 #13 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I was also going to suggest bringing a case or two of the individual 8oz sized milk containers. They will definitely fit in the fridge and you don't have to worry about keeping them cold prior to opening.

I would also suggest bringing UHT milk that doesn't need to be refrigerated until it is opened. You can definitely fit small boxes into the fridge. I'm pretty sure I've seen organic milk in shelf-stable packaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingcouple2010 Posted November 11, 2014 #18 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Worse case scenario the kids are old enough they can have water for the week. Its been over 20 years since mine where 18 and 20 months but I think they was eating regular food and drinking a lot of water by that time ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time2cruise1 Posted November 11, 2014 #19 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I understand the value of organic milk but a week on regular whole milk would not be the end of the world. Far easier answer. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRos Posted November 11, 2014 #21 Share Posted November 11, 2014 For some families - especially those with young children who are underweight or/and with dietary/hormone sensitivities, it's a real issue. We weren't asking for opinions on what many believe we should feed our kids or if this topic is amusing to some. I'm sure you can read another topic on this very busy message board if it's a subject that is of no consequence to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmomof2 Posted November 11, 2014 #22 Share Posted November 11, 2014 While it's been years since my boys were that young and I needed to worry about whole vs. skim, I don't think it's anyone's business if either poster wants to feed their child organic milk. Perhaps there is a tolerance issue, or perhaps they are against milk that comes from cows who have been fed hormones or antibiotics. It's really none of our business, or anyone's place to say "a week of regular milk won't hurt anyone." We don't know that. To the OPs, I would think the best bet would be shelf stable organic in small containers. If you have a small cooler, you can bring that and ask the room steward to keep it filled with ice to keep the open containers cold during your trip. Good luck.

ellasmomanddad Posted November 11, 2014 #23 Share Posted November 11, 2014 ROFL!! Very good! I also do not think the mini fridge is cold enough for milk but im almost positive the ship will accommodate anything for you. The restaurants on the breakaway always asked about dietary concerns. I would think it would fall under that category on any ship. Safe travels You're not going to get organic anything. It will be easy to get whole milk though. As far as the mini fridge, they don't get cold enough or stay cold enough to keep milk safely cold. The refrigerators in the rooms keep things just barely cold. More like cool.

ellasmomanddad Posted November 11, 2014 #24 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Ok i called because the thread had me curious. NCL DOES NOT HAVE ORGANIC MILK. They suggest bringing the brand horizon. It comes in a pint box and will fit in the fridge. I guess alot of people call and ask this very question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonap Posted November 11, 2014 #25 Share Posted November 11, 2014 When my DD was little and we needed the whole milk, I went to Whole Foods and bought the shelf-stable Organic Valley whole milk (the only one I can find from horizon are all low-fat - 2% or 1% type). Unfortunately, that meant getting them in the quart-sized tetrapaks, but then I just put them in the mini-fridge after opening them (had the room steward empty the fridge upon arrival in the room). Now, when we travel, since my DD still likes her milk all the time, we just bring the Horizon, Organic Valley or Costco milk in the juice-box sized boxes. Yes, it means 1 heavy luggage full of milk, but then she's happy when we go on excursions, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
