Arizona Cruz Chic Posted September 13, 2007 #26 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I'm actually surprised the OP with only 3 posts came back to post any responses. :eek: *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeano222 Posted September 13, 2007 #27 Share Posted September 13, 2007 You might want to consider bringing a rolling gas grill. I'm sure if you turned the heat up high it could pop the corn. We like to troll for fish off the back of the ship and then grill them on the balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruuzin Posted September 13, 2007 #28 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Maybe I'm getting gullible (unlikely since I work with crooks) but I think he was actually being serious. In case you are serious OP, my guess is that it would not be allowed, but this is merely speculation. You can always bring aboard the pre-bagged pop corn; some of those I have found to be quite good. I'll have to remember that. When we were on the Mariner, all I wanted was popcorn to go along with the in cabin movie. No popcorn anywhere. If I can find popcorn somewhere before boarding the ship--problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teajak Posted September 13, 2007 #29 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Don't forget to bring a pound of butter to melt or the popcorn won't be good.Or you could go on the Paula Dean cruise and borrow some from her. You made my day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My2Kitties Posted September 13, 2007 #30 Share Posted September 13, 2007 The link I posted? Works for me. Try again. It says the article no longer exists... If it is the article I think it is...I can tell you from personal experience that popcorn can be very dangerous...I ripped my esophagus with a kernal of popcorn when I was younger...now I eat the fake kind...

marci22 Posted September 13, 2007 #31 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Hey, I was just going to ask about a crockpot. Maybe I'll try a George Foreman Grill. It's small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Laura Posted September 14, 2007 #32 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Don't you wonder sometimes where these posters come from? As pointed out by Linda, Spudhunter has only 3 postings all related to this thread. You really don't know if you should applaud their sense of humor or worry about them. Related to popcorn: A coworker is supposedly allergic to that substance in microwave popcorn and since that was discovered we are not allowed to have any type of popcorn in our work building at all.

You made my day. Yes, that would be me on this cruise and I can't wait. Now y'all have given me a great idea. I think I will bring my popcorn and have them pop it, then go on down to Paula Deen's room and see if she would be glad to share her butter with me if I share my popcorn with her. Gotta love these ideas. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iheartbda Posted September 14, 2007 #38 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Still not sure it the OP is joking or not but the question is not as off base as one might think if, in fact, they're serious. I read a post not all that long ago that a person was asking about bringing a small fridge to save money on soda. Have to search for the post.

iheartbda Posted September 14, 2007 #39 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Found the post on the fridge My fiance and I will be going on the Sensation 4 day cruise to the Bahamas (our first ever cruise). I do not want to add an extra $50 just for drinks to our ever growing list of vacation expenses. We won't have a fridge in our room, so I was wondering if a cooler would be the best option? We will be taking a small fridge for a stay in Orlando after the cruise, but I don't know whether that would be allowed or not (???). It would probably be easier to use the fridge but if we aren't allowed to bring that on then is there a way that we can get ice put into the cooler on a daily basis? I'm not really too sure when we would be drinking much soda in the room anyway though since we will be eating all our meals at the restaurants on the ship. For those of you who have brought your own drinks, do you bring drinks into the restaurants as well or do you just order one there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthewaves Posted September 14, 2007 #40 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Personally, I don't consider those little microwave packs to be "real popcorn", anyway. That's why I prefer to bring some real popcorn, along with a kettle with lid, some vegetable oil (peanut oil has a nice flavor, but canola will do) and a camp stove. The tricky part is getting the small propane cylinder for the camp stove onto the ship. You run the risk that security might confiscate it, if they think you're really hiding alcohol in it. AHA! Perhaps it wasn't the little flashing light on the life jacket that started the fire on that cruise ship. It was someone popping corn on a camp stove!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggieworkman Posted September 14, 2007 #41 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I don't know which is funnier, the idea of bringing a microwave to pop popcorn, or all of the people defending "gullible" in the dictionary! I almost spit on my monitor from laughing so much. Maggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Dolby1000 Posted September 14, 2007 #42 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Honestly, I am not a fan of the micro-wave stuff. Try the Whirley Pop from Wabash Family Farms: www.popcornpopper.com/ Pops the best popcorn, ever! All in the same amount of time to pop the micro-wave stuff. Then, I use my own toppings (white cheddar, or butter, maybe southwest seasoning, or lemon garlic, lots of options). Of course, being from the midwest, I get great popcorn too, small, fluffy white to big and bold yellow, to red, and blue varieties. I do not work for Wabash Family Farms, I just like the popper.

ROFL....still! After you get aboard with the above mentioned items can I borrow them? You can then borrow my ironing board and iron...boy will this be hard to pack..:D AND if you are lucky you can borrow my washing machine and dryer so you don't have to repack dirty clothes:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRcruisin Posted September 14, 2007 #45 Share Posted September 14, 2007 They make FAKE popcorn?? I've heard it all now....LOL Do you think they would mind if we brought "nightcrawlers" to go fishing in the wake of the ship?

PLUS you are in luck, I'm gonna bring along my own karaoke machine...don't wanna miss a minute of the sound of my own voice singing:D OH just in case you have an accident and rip something I"m bringing my own sewing machine....maybe if I take in laundry and sewing I won't have to get off the ship??!!

If not, you can probably buy one of those old washboards in a hardware store, that would fit in your suitcase. And, don't forget your box of soap and a clothes line and pins to hang your wash out on the balcony. If you have a lot, you could hang it from the line on the top deck that has all the lights on it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
