VentureMan_2000 Posted August 4, 2019 #4 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I use to bring in my own ground Ghiradelli Chocolate to the MDR at breakfast and order a cappuccino ( I know, that was many years ago )... then mix in my ground chocolate to make a mocha. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaded Lady Posted August 4, 2019 #6 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Rumor has it that Carnival is considering a real movie theater popcorn machine with real movie theater butter (read, OIL!) in the IMAX theaters on ships that have them! Now THAT would be epic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s interesting since I have heard Carnival is moving to eliminate the IMAX theaters beginning with Panorama not having one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare carribbound Posted August 4, 2019 Author #9 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Thanks everyone. I do bring the nacho cheese. Nothing like buttery popcorn to help it stick. :') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purvis1231 Posted August 4, 2019 #10 Share Posted August 4, 2019 the popcorn on the Dream did not even have salt. 9if you do not salt when it is good and hot it is no good.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah... me thinks you use table salt at home given your reply. You need to purchase Popcorn Salt -- i.e., super fine salt. It will stick to anything... even cold unbuttered popcorn. Table salt falls off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had popcorn salt next to the machine and the guest applied it themselves but unless you got some that was just popped it just didn't work for me. (sorry for my type- I am having eye problems.)

VentureMan_2000 Posted August 4, 2019 #14 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Wonder if it is table salt... coevan is an old salty sailor and does not have a problem with table salt on popcorn... wonder what his secret is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare carribbound Posted August 6, 2019 Author #15 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Is the popcorn from the IMAX like normal theatre popcorn?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwayzcruisin Posted August 6, 2019 #16 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I always bring a small container of popcorn salt, or flavored salt (buttered, nacho, ranch) which you can purchase at your local movie theater. It is the size of a small bottle of lotion or smaller than you pack in your carry-on or checked bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ideb Posted August 6, 2019 #18 Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) I use the Great Value butter spray to make seasoning stick without adding calories---weight watchers friendly. I've never brought these on a cruise but I don't know why you couldn't carry them on. Edited August 6, 2019 by Ideb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now THAT would be epic! I asked the guy on the horizon why they don't have real popcorn, he said the smell would go all over and people would just come to buy the popcorn (or complain about the smell), and not go to the movie and he said being mid ship, it can also be a fire hazard. I was disappointed , cuz I love movie popcorn . They are not putting IMAX theaters on the new ships they are building either. I wouldn't be surprised if they actually take them out of the few they are in when they go to drydock in the future. Not many people used them ...we did like them though.

Butterbean1000 Posted August 6, 2019 #25 Share Posted August 6, 2019 If they start supplying the butter flavored oil they have at movie theaters, no thank you. There is no substitute for real butter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
