Taking food off ship? picnic?

[Dgius]

Hey there MSC travel folks

 

We are in the Yacht Club for a Western Mediterranean trip in June. Has anyone every asked the concierge for a picnic lunch to be prepared to take off the ship? We are arranging for a wine tasting excursion in France and I think I would like to have a picnic at one of the stops? Anyone done this? Heard anyone doing it?

Nope. No food (unless pre packaged) Off the ship.

Never had a problem taking food off a ship in the Med , its different to the US .

Never been yacht club I cant imagine that they would make you a picnic however because it is discouraged

Just curious...did you try and were denied? I was even thinking I could "pay" for a picnic preparation? Still you think it would be a "no"

 

Thanks for the response..... :)

It has nothing to do with the ship. It is the ports. Any food that is taken off or on the ship MUST be pre-packaged.

Not a Problem in the Med as far as I know , not a problem with flights or trains either ,

You can take all the food in the minibar, at no cost!

Ask anyone who is sailing in the next couple of weeks to ask the question of the concierge/butler for you. That is the best way to get the correct answer. Maybe putting the request in the roll calls will get someone to find out for you.

NO food.

We take food off all the time. No one is checking you when you disembark. We make little sandwiches and wrap them in napkins.... We don't take food on board or when we disembark in the states.

This is wrong. The other posters are correct. You are safest if you bring the packaged good from the fridge with you, but if you discretely put food in a small cooler or non see-through bag, you will not have any problem.

 

NO food.
