Bringing packaged food back on ship from port

[Secretlyfi]

I know the rules about not bringing food on or off the ship. But does that apply to packaged items you can buy in port? I’m thinking Bermuda Rum Cakes from the Dockyard shop. Was thinking of picking up a few to bring back home.  Is it allowed or will I be in the naughty room? Thanks

As long as it's packages and doesn't contain fruit, meat, or cheese it's fine. We've bought candy, rum cakes, popcorn, and a wide variety of other local foods.

You can definitely buy those rum cakes and bring them back with you.  ALWAYS check the dates.

Well they do scan your bags when you reboard

They don't do that in every port.  Last year, I walked into the ship with a pineapple (used for drinks) in my hands and not a single person stopped me.

The do scan bags in Bermuda. But, I brought back two rum cakes a couple of weeks ago no problem. 

[spookwife]

mmm Rum cakes.   I suggest you buy an extra one.   I never seem to  end up with the same number I bought in port at the end of the cruise.....

I also suggest bringing home some fudge from the fudge shop in the Clocktower Mall.  Delicious!

What can be brought back on ship may vary than what can be brought back once the ship returns to the United States.

Thanks everyone!

I have seen HUGE "wheels" of Gouda cheese being brought on the ship by passengers when we

have docked in St. Maartin (not sure of the spelling).

For the US, cheese is OK, except for very soft or liquid cheeses.

 

Milk and meat (and meat products) and fresh fruits are NOT allowed.

The fine was dropped later, but you cannot bank on that.

When in Cozumel or Progresso we buy mangos and avocados and bring them back on and no one has ever said anything about it. they are in our bag when scanned and one of the employees were excited to see mangos so we gave him one.

Well, if it was Labadee, the pineapple had been brought there by the ship, so there's that...

I saw passengers stopped in Nassau Monday with takeout from the fish fry. They had to throw it out before they boarded the ship.

As many of us know, the most painful lesson comes in Portland, Maine.  

 

You have bought some delicious doughnuts or whoopee pies, only to have the security staff take them from you.  

 

Sad, sad, sad,
