Jancruz Posted May 6, 2015 #101 Share Posted May 6, 2015 But I paid for my food from the buffet in the cruise fare, it shouldn't matter to NCL where I consume any of the food. But it does Jancruz1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixesandeights Posted May 6, 2015 #102 Share Posted May 6, 2015 But it doesJancruz1 Another wonderfully useful post from Jancruz.... It matters because they want to force people to use the room service. This has nothing to do with food safety and everything to do with forcing people to spend money. It is an attempt to hold people hostage by their stomachs. 6&8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbisson Posted May 6, 2015 Author #104 Share Posted May 6, 2015 D. W. said that If I get busted she will put money in my canteen fund so I can buy cookie's whilst in the Brig . In the movies, they sometimes smuggle a hacksaw into the jail inside a cake...I'll bring you a cookie inside a cake. Now if I can just figure out how to get the cake out of the dining room ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelerblue Posted May 6, 2015 #106 Share Posted May 6, 2015 This is the first I have heard of this rule. When my son was younger we would get cabins on deck 8 close to the Blue Lagoon and he would get dinner to go and eat in the cabin while we were getting ready for the night. We would drop him off at the Kids Crew and then go to our adults dinner. It worked well for us. We don't really bring food back to our cabin now thankfully.

mbisson Posted May 6, 2015 Author #107 Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) Travelerblue, that's exactly what we did back when the kids were young. Now it's just 'maybe' an occasional snack I only learned of this new 'rule' in the last couple days myself (from threads here & other boards) Inside of a hacksaw? Ok, I'll pack a hollowed out hacksaw later ;) Edited May 6, 2015 by mbisson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has nothing to do with food safety and everything to do with forcing people to spend money. It is an attempt to hold people hostage by their stomachs. 6&8 why do you say it is forcing people to spend money? Last time I checked no one required you to have food in your cabin? Yes, there are some who enjoy eating in their crowded little stateroom, but the majority of people, at least the ones I know, rarely order room service. This is the same in a hotel; they too charge a 18 to 20% tip and usually a service charge, but most don't order room service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kessdarln Posted May 6, 2015 #110 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I started this thread as a lark and was just having fun (notice the ;) in the subject line) But as often happens on CC, it's starting to turn ugly LOL It's nothing serious, only a cookie (or other food, it's not like we'll starve onboard)-NOW WHEN I CAN'T BRING MY HOTDOG BACK TO THE CABIN, THEN NCL & I WILL HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM lol I say stuff your bra full of cookies... Or down your pants... Do you think they would search you <giggle> :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there are some who enjoy eating in their crowded little stateroom, I don't know why this particular bit of scorn keeps coming up. Plenty of people have explained that they like to eat out on their balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusin6 Posted May 6, 2015 #112 Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) That is reasonable, I do see what you are saying. Maybe it was preferential treatment, I don't know. They do ask for your room number at the hostess stand. If I were not in a suite, I would still dispute any charge for a product I asked to carry out of a restaurant (but they required to have delivered). You agree with what I am saying yet the poster you quote in post #88 makes the same point yet you are nasty to them in your response. Quite nasty with them too Read your posts 88 and 90 over to see what I mean Odd Sent from my iPad using Forums Edited May 6, 2015 by Crusin6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

june123 Posted May 6, 2015 #114 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Well i can confirm that you could take food from the buffet to eat where ever you wanted on the Epic last week . We would occasionally take out a snack for later and saw lots of people doing the same .Hope this is a help to you all .xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite nasty with them too Read your posts 88 and 90 over to see what I mean Odd I think you'll see the larger picture if you read posts 67 and 74. By including that to the others, it gives a much broader view of the conversation. I was polite and agreed with them in 67. The posts you refer to have to do with that poster saying my experience has nothing to do with ALL the other pax. There are 15 suites on the Sky, and many more fleetwide...it was relevant. Beyond that, your post had a friendly tone. The other lacked tact and was aggressive. If you'll take a second look at the posts I just referenced, I think you will find I was quite consistent.

lmcgrail Posted May 6, 2015 #120 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I doubt the staff will enforce this rule especially from the buffet. I'll bring my ziplocs and a big tote. I'll become the proverbial bag lady. No one will stand between me and my pretzel rolls :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
searoses Posted May 6, 2015 #121 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I'm just hoping the new rules are as strictly enforced as the chair hogging rule....I am not too worried because there are ,like fish,many ships on the seas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good point. I have a feeling that the ship's crew do not enforce many things that upset passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerAl Posted May 7, 2015 #125 Share Posted May 7, 2015 if people stop tipping in the restaurants that are not allowing this, perhaps they will change their policies...however at this point, and i'm platinum, i don't feel any more loyalty to NCL....too much is happening that is really not in the interest of the consumer (is it ever being that NCL is a money making company?); however, Princess, Royal and Celebrity will be delighted to take my money too. I never understand why not tipping the crew members that serve you,is an answer to a policy the management has put in place, and the poor server is following orders. Want to punish someone, book with a different line, and make it clear here and in the media, why you are choosing a different line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
