Selling Girl Scout Cookies

[thesnoopster2]

I'm going on the Encore in the middle of girl scout cookie season.  Do you think NCL would let us set up a table for a couple days and sell cookies for an hour?  talk about a captive audience.  Maybe outside to the casino area?  🙂

[UKstages]

 Only if they're allowed to tack on 20 percent for your convenience.

Wonder if i could get permission.....

No to onboard but if someone is driving you to the port, maybe a booth outside the terminal? Especially for those who'll be sitting inside the terminal waiting to board.

Hopefully not. It would be a bad precedent. I love Girl Scout cookies, but would hate to see the ships turned into a marketplace for guests hawking their wares.

Again, NO!  Seriously, think about it.  NCL giving YOU permission opens up the need for them to consent to others requesting likewise.  They don't want the problems associated with allowing it...

very much as @Turtles06 stated above.

I was looking at Girl Scout Cookies as an innocent little thing...

 

but realistically, you are right. If they said yes to one thing, they would have to do other ventures as well.

Likely would require a "Vendors Permit" (or similar) to do so!

Only if the Girl Scout is 15 years-old and has her own stateroom.

True, but cruise ships often do allow vendors to sell things on board (think gift shops, duty free, jewelry, etc.)

And I’m sure charge them handsomely. You also need permission to solicit outside of businesses as well.

I'm all for replacing Effy jewelry with a Girl Scout cookie shop.

[Laszlo]

If girl scout cookies were sold year round I would be 400lbs Lol

Of course they would need permission, but it would be through the port, not NCL. No different than when they set up booths outside the local grocery store.

[WITraveler37]

I guess that's one way to get cookies available on the ships again. lol

Can we use onboard credit or Cruise Next carts to buy the cookies? If so, I’m bringing extra spare luggage for “souvenirs.”

Really?  Who you lying to?  

 

Truth is you would eat them all in the airport or on the plane ride home if they even made it that far 😝

With the alleged shortage of cookies on NCL ships, you would be welcomed with open arms.  But I doubt NCL would let anyone sell anything on one of their ships.

But what would happen if you could make your own cookies on board 🤔
