Ensure Drink

[latebloomer56]

Totally forgot can I bring Ensure on board? It is a drink and will be eating better on the ship but if I skip meals I drink one of these 🙁 yes even on a cruise I skip meals. Did try to research this but nothing could be found. Silly and just won't bring it if I can't.

Thanks

If it is a medical necessity you can contact the access desk for permission.  Otherwise, no such drinks can be brought on board.

Generally, no. However if you have a medical necessity you can contact special needs for permission to bring on a limited supply.

Same situation as OP, but for my toddler. I just submitted a request to bring Pediasure onboard.. Let's see how this goes!

Ensure is made in a powdered form. I have always taken my protein shake powder on the ships with no problem.

CC is a great site, so many nice people willing to share.

I did not know that!

Too bad we can't buy liquor in powder form. LOL

You can also get Meal Replacement packs from places like Unjury.  Individual meals in single serve packages.   Just add water.

I just need the protein supplement because I don't eat correctly. I try and am actually overweight, but what I do eat isn't as balanced as it should be. Working on it but they suggested extra protein and B vitamins to get back my energy. Last year was tough.

Yes until I get my appetite back it helps. I'm actually walking 2 miles a day one in the morning and one in the afternoon. This trip is a good incentive to move.

I lost 5kg (11pounds) on a Mediterranean cruise because of all the walking on excursions and on the ship. I tend to eat way better on the ship than I do at home as I don’t have to do any of the prep. 
yep I’m a freak that loses weight on a cruise!

I would but generally only about five pounds. Your right we eat better, and I'm hope all the variety will make me want to eat better.

If you turn off Java Script it allows you to read, sorry I did not know it was a pay site as I have Java turned off permanently & only turn on when needed.

Alternatively the US brand of powdered alcohol is Palcohol (banned in many states) if you Google that you should get alternative sites like this:
https://abcnews.go.com/Health/palcohol-powdered-alcohol-approved-feds/story?id=29580363

 

Or maybe banned in the US by the FDA according to the second report video that starts after the first. I don't know??
