What happened on Jewel last month has nothing to do with availability on Allure currently.

 

Actually it does. The edict came out of Miami last month. No more chips is fleetwide. 

 

Well, if you can believe the staff

Why would they do this????

I suspect it's because chips require a ton of storage space, and that's in short supply on ships.  

- From a person who can take or leave chips.

They started having little bags of chips available when they first introduced Park Cafe over a decade ago, so I am sure they have long ago figured out how to store chips on the ships.  If the rumor is actually true, it is likely just another victim of cost cutting.  People have proven that they hoard the bags of chips, some even taking them home, so the cruise line has decided they don't want to fund peoples lunches at home.

They can provide chips the same as delis.  No individual bags but place an amount on the serving plate.

When they provided tortilla chips on Coco Cay at the Mexican station, they were not in individual bags.

 

Plain and simple--economics.

I'll have to hit Costco up for their Kirkland Sea Salt Kettle Chips before our next cruise in May. . .I may inidvidually package and sell them. . .but I sure do like Jays!

None available.  They used to hide them at Park Cafe, but no longer. Was told on Anthrax sail thst if I wanted. chips gave to order via room service. Could you imagine spending $8 for a bag of chips. 
 

 

 

New ship?  I'm pretty sure I don't want to sail on Anthrax of the Seas....  Chips or no chips.  😂

For some reason, I’ve been craving chips all day. 😆

I never eat chips at home, but love Pringles for the ship. I always look for unique flavors in other countries. 😉

I got those in Barcelona. They were good. Buy if you see again.

I pack my own little bags of chips and pretzels to have as snacks.  

It’s a sickness I know 🥹 lol.

 

And for those salty snack lovers like me, who sometimes have the dreaded swollen ankles on a cruise (wonder why??? 😣), may I kindly direct you to THIS thread….

🤣Was typing in a very dim lit place and fat fingers, plus I-Phone overrides certain words. When I saw it, I said Whoa, but it was beyond editing.  It was Anthem and I also saw some other editing required.😜
