nzdisneymom Posted June 11, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 11, 2022 We were wondering if there are any of the lounges or other places onboard the Mariner that offer late-afternoon / pre-dinner, or late night snacks that are included with the cruise (no extra charges/fees). Like chips/salsa, or other light fare. And if so, where have they typically been available? We have sailed other cruise lines that have a light offering in one or two lounges that were included, so we were wondering if the Mariner (or RCCL in general) have this, too.

la_croisiere_s'amuse Posted June 11, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Yep, Cafe Promenade will probably be your best bet for off-hours. No chips & salsa, but they have pizza, small sandwiches, a couple of sides (grilled veggies etc.), fruit and a couple of desserts. The selection is different every day.

On the Mariner, there isn't a separate Sorrento's--it's incorporated into the Promenade Cafe. No Park Cafe either, alas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mum2Mercury Posted June 11, 2022 #6 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Chips (with or without salsa) are not often plentiful on the ships I've sailed. If you're chip fiends, you might bring your own. Pringles would pack well. Personally, popcorn is our favorite snack, and we have brought pre-popped bags onboard. Another vote for Cafe Promenade. Their sandwiches are small -- like 2-4 bites, which is a nice size if you just want something to "tide you over" without interfering with your dinner. And you can take multiples, if you want more. The fillings vary, though they always have the ham and cheese croissants, which are my husband's ultra-faves. I didn't go for the pizza. It was like good-quality frozen pizza, and I can find plenty on a ship I like better. Other no-cost onboard snack ideas: - The British pub offers really good trail mix with white chocolate chips -- or at least they used to. Is that still a thing? We've taken a carafe to our rooms for later. - Bring some ziplock with you and pick up some extra cookies from the lunch buffet. One waiter we had once -- and I'm pretty sure it was on Mariner -- used to bring each child at the dinner table a small packet of chocolate chip cookies to take back to the room for later. - If you enjoy snacking on fruit, take what you want from the first day's breakfast buffet. Think about it: They aren't getting deliveries at sea; whatever they have on the first day is what they'll have for the whole cruise. - Though I think you can find much better food online, you can snag small boxes of cereal and cartons of milk from the breakfast buffet. Yogurt, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
