Newbie Question??

[kellymonster23]

Hey Everyone,

I'm leaving on my first cruise in less than 10 days!!!!! :D I have a question about the food. I know that meals are already paid and that alcohol is not paid for, but is put on the seapass card. Also I understand that you can purchase a soda card or buy soda by the can. My question is...is there a place to just get a bag of chips or a candy bar if you're hungry for just a little snack or need a chocolate fix? Any help would be appreciated!!!! Thanks!!!!!

I have never been hungry onboard a ship. There is a buffet that runs usually 24 hours. Then there is room service in your cabin for free - sandwiches, hamburgers, deserts, cookies. On the lido deck there is Ice Cream (sometimes costing extra), pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers by the pool. Plus all the restaurant options - some free and some with an extra surcharge.

 

I think you could buy a bag of chips or a chocolate bar from the shops on board. I often crave those items at home, but with all the free available food I have never even looked for it on a cruise!

Have a great cruise!

Yes, you can buy snack foods in the general store onboard.

You will be fine. There are places you can get food as often as you want. You can buy chips and candy in the general store. I have been guilty of buying chips in the store to have munchies in the stateroom. But usually, we will just grab a slice of pizza or dessert for snacks. On my last carnival cruise, I think I gained weight mostly from the two slices of pizza I would get before bed each night :D

We're in the group that finds so much food on board that it never crossed our mind to have a bag of snacks. But, yes there are snacks and candies available in the shops.

 

Room service is 24/7. But on RC there is a service fee of $3.95 for late night deliveries (between midnight and 5AM I believe).

There's almost always cookies in the WJ--grab some and carry back to your room, if you want to!
