leerathje Posted April 4, 2020 #1 Share Posted April 4, 2020 The last 2 chocolates from our Feb. 29 - March 7 Oosterdam Mexican Riviera cruise. Milk for DH, dark for me. L. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Pete Cruiser Posted April 4, 2020 #2 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I can relate to this as well. We were lucky and blessed to do 3 cruises last year and I always bring a few home with me for emergencies! Ruth, are you listening? She is a frequent chocoholic poster.

We were lucky and blessed to do 3 cruises last year and I always bring a few home with me for emergencies! Ruth, are you listening? I am. Most posters are aware that I take long cruises, frequently take more than one a year, and get two chocolates every night (single supplement should get double on something!). I bring them all home with me every cruise (frequently a few extras, too 😁). Then I parcel them out to myself over a period of time. Alas, mine are long since gone. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare puppycanducruise Posted April 4, 2020 #7 Share Posted April 4, 2020 So sad. Ours are long gone too. It will be a while before we get more. ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be cruising single in the late fall and I will ask for double chocolates because I am paying the single supplement. Never thought about doing this before.

We received MANY extras, as I had asked for dark chocolate for me and white chocolate for DH. They didn't have the darks for a few days, so, every night they would give us extra! And when the darks were available, we got extras of those! L. ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a preference of dark or milk chocolate, you can let your cabin steward which you prefer, and get two of each. 🙂 Once in a while they are out of chocolates until a delivery comes in. When that happens I let them know it's fine, so long as they make them up to me when the supply arrives. I usually get extras then, too. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV8rix Posted April 4, 2020 #12 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I finished all of my stash last week. All in the blue wrappers, of course. One day I ate FIVE of them! Now I don't know when I'll ever have more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted April 4, 2020 #16 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I only eat dark chocolate and for years had to take my own -- dark chocolate is the healthy chocolate. Loved it when HAL introduced dark chocolate -- but none ever made it home. We have a good supply of dark chocolates and hopefully the stores won't run out.

wdw1972 Posted April 4, 2020 #18 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I'm down to my final 3 - 1 milk, 2 dark. Today I would have disembarked from the Nieuw Amsterdam, and the next HAL cruise isn't until December. I'm sure the chocolates won't last until then 😉 Sue/WDW1972 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisemom42 Posted April 5, 2020 #21 Share Posted April 5, 2020 While my April HAL cruise was canceled, I did bring back a stash of chocolates from my trip to Italy in February. (Yes, I got out of there just in time to dodge a bullet...) Anyway, I have been saving the last two pieces from my chocolate hazelnut stash but I think the time has come...
