Taking food off the ship in Port Canaveral

[_RaveN_]

We are going out of New Jersey with our first stop in Port Canaveral. I was going to take some sandwiches etc off the ship to enjoy on our excursion for the day. Normally this is not possible due to customs issues and bringing in fresh food to other countries. Since this is a US stop on a cruise from the US, would we be allowed to do this?

Its not a Customs issues, its a health or agricultural issue.

 

I wouldn't try.

No, because the ship isn't the U.S.

Agree .... if you feel ship's food is essential, check beforehand with TA to be sure.

I just know that you declare fresh foods through customs. They are responsible for all imports. Obviously it's for agricultural concerns but customs and border control are the regulatory bodies when you land and have to declare foods in general. Hence using the term.

Go for it! If somehow they see it or check your bags, just throw it away.

I have taken my softside cooler off the ship with beers and waters and no one has ever checked that.

You can be fined not just "throw it away" past the produce amnesty boxes
