Kruzkrazy Posted March 5, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 5, 2023 DW and I will be on the 4/1 British islands cruise on the Venus. I've been reading about food shortages, especially fresh vegetables, in the UK. Anybody know if this has been affecting provisioning of cruise ships calling there? Perhaps Viking ships are provisioned in Scandinavia? Any insights are welcome. Thanx, KK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGHOC Posted March 5, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Oh our media love a bit of hype! Yes if anyone tries to buy five dozen cucumbers they might have a little trouble but we've had no problems whatsoever. It's a temporary blip and is expected to be resolved very quickly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be on a cruise in the UK in April, and will be ok with most any vegetables, even if they are truly short on some. However, if there is a toilet paper provisioning problem,. . . . 😲 . 🙂 Edited March 5, 2023 by Catlover54 Typo 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nippy Sweetie Posted March 5, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Shopping today and fresh fruit and veg aisles packed with produce. Please don't believe daft media stories. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBs mum Posted March 5, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 5, 2023 No problem buying anything. Some supermarkets are running out of stock as other retailers are prepared to pay what the stock is actually worth 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Avery Posted March 5, 2023 #7 Share Posted March 5, 2023 I am prepared to have Luggage Forward ship a pallet of TP to the Neptune for our WC this winter. Maybe make enough to pay for the cruise selling to my fellow passengers....😳🍸 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We discovered this the following year, when the Hotel Manager made light of our then-current provisioning issues by saying "at least this time it's not TP". Needless to say, the attempt at levity was not well received, especially by pax who had experienced that shortage! 🍺🥌 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosebear Mum Posted March 6, 2023 #9 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Total media hyped issue to create unnecessary anger. Heating, etc costs means fewer greenhouse salad crops being produced in a Europe, but there is generally no shortage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
