Crackers for cheese

[breadandbutter]

This may be a strange question but, are there crackers served with a cheese plate in the dining rooms, and are they on the buffet?

It was hard to get crackers on a couple of cruises I've been on, they served bread instead.

Thanks in advance.

If you ask your butler for some, I’m willing to bet they will show up.

 But not everyone has a butler.

I think that they have them in the buffet; you can always get some and then take them with you to the dining room.

This is what our butler brought us last Monday. But I have never seen the water crackers on the buffet.

The butler brought us similar cheese trays to Birds’ every other day, with too few crackers. They were always the water crackers, with some extra saltines one day (?!?). We asked for extra. 
 

of course that only applies to suites/havens, but you can ask your waiter for some of these as … obviously… they exist onboard.

I was planning to post a photo of the actual new ship as the first headliner photo

Thanks for the belly laugh!

For those in steerage - in the buffet crackers may be at the soup section. If not ask at the counter. In the dining room ask for crackers with the cheese plate they may just bring individually packaged saltines but it’s better than nothing. They don’t automatically bring crackers.

I have never had any trouble getting cheese and crackers in the main dining room instead of a dessert except on my last cruise on the Star, on this ship I was repeatedly told they don't have cheese available. On a couple of occasions when I did not order an alternative they magically found some.
They normally even have a stock of cellophane wrapped crackers at the waiter stations.

We’ve ordered the cheese option in MDR as dessert and as an appetizer but I think mostly before Covid shutdown, not on our last 2 cruises. It was listed on the menu with the desserts. It came with crackers but don’t remember what type.
 

I vaguely remember seeing it on Viva last month, but didn’t order it. We had our secret stash in the cabin since we splurged out on a suite (well really only 350pp more than our balcony … so not a huge splurge). Unfortunately for the budget, hubs now wants to stay in suites….. 

 

can pax just bring on a package of their own choosing in their luggage? If anyone questions it just say you need it to counteract nausea….

I don't believe that a box of crackers is considered contraband.   😏
