Corkle Posted April 19, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 19, 2004 My seven year old son wants to know if he'll be able to buy candy on the ship. Does anyone know if and where candy is sold on the ship? TIA Happy Sailing!!

Family of 14 Posted April 19, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I think there are a few selections in the gift stores. No gum though!

Corkle Posted April 19, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Thanks! If the selection is small we'll probably bring our own stockpile!! Happy Sailing!!

Family of 14 Posted April 19, 2004 #4 Share Posted April 19, 2004 If your pocketbook is small...you may want to bring your own instead of buying. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] Expensive! You can also buy some candy at the different ports. That's always fun because it is sometimes labeled differently. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img] With all the free ice cream and cookies you can eat, I don't need any extra candy on the ship.

Corkle Posted April 19, 2004 Author #5 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I don't need candy but the DS can't live without it! That's a great idea about buying it in the different ports!! He's going to have his own spending money and I'm predicting that's where some of it will go! Happy Sailing!!

Cruise Miriam Posted April 19, 2004 #6 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Corkle, make sure your DS saves the wrappers from the candy he buys in port. How cool would it be to show his friends candy wrappers in different languages?!

mom2mci Posted April 19, 2004 #7 Share Posted April 19, 2004 This post gave me a great idea for gifts for my kids and nieces and nephews. I know they will eat the chocolate, but saving the wrappers is a great idea that I am sure they would love. Along with a wide array of T-shirts! Jodi...

Corkle Posted April 19, 2004 Author #8 Share Posted April 19, 2004 The wrappers will be great in the scrapbook also! Thanks for the great idea! Happy Sailing!!

Family of 14 Posted April 19, 2004 #9 Share Posted April 19, 2004 When ever we travel, I bring back little jelly jars from hotels, sugar packets, candy, etc. and my children have taken them to school over the years along with foreign money, magazines and newspapers. The souvenirs are usually written in Spanish. My high schooler recently took in a bunch of stuff for his Spanish class.

petersonwith3 Posted April 19, 2004 #10 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Just a little word to the wise, be careful of foreign candy (especially in Mexico)...US regulations are pretty strict but in other countries they still use [B]lead[/B] in the food coloring...I didnt know this until my mom moved to Mexico and told me to make my kids stay away from the candy (and the water)!

gene624 Posted April 19, 2004 #11 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Maybe should stick to brand names we know -- even if written in foreign language. Mexican regulations aer very different from US. I recall some years ago going to a drugstore for some cold medicine.

I recall some years ago going to a drugstore there for some cold medicine. The Pharmacist gave me some Chloromycetin -- a powerful antibiotic Parke-Davis drug that had killed a number of people. The drug is still in use but very carefully prescribed.(I was a drug analyst at the time and was familiar with it).

Cruise Miriam Posted April 19, 2004 #14 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Thanks for the warning, Gene! When I was in Lisbon and got sick, when I was well enough to get out of bed we went to a drug store to fill a prescription (the hotel did a couple of runs for us before I could get out). Luckily the doctor had written the Rx in Portuguese but had described what I was supposed to have. Luckily, even with the language differences, I got the right thing -- I could tell because the doc had shown me a sample. Never thought about the candy since I don't eat it myself, but never drink the water, even here at home! It would still be fun to have the wrappers, even if you don't eat the stuff, tho.
