About to email the haven concierge, what have you seen recently in terms of afternoon snacks?

Cruising in 2 weeks and we were going to email the concierge to request specific snacks, and I'm curious what snacks you've seen over the last few months so we know what to ask for. 

 

Thanks!

The PRE-CRUISE Concierge will reply to your request to, "Please discuss your selections with your Butler once onboard the ship!" (Or wording something like that.)

There have been many "LIVE" post recently with pics of afternoon snacks.

There is zero value contacting the pre-concierge. They are a call center like the general NCL reservation number and do not provide any meaningful help. Instead, meet and build a rapport with your butler so that they know what your preferences are. Ask your butler what are people's favorite snacks. 

 

This is a copy of the note we handed to our butler on embarkation day. We print out 1/4 sheet note paper to write notes to our butler, cabin steward, and concierge. 

 

Examples of snacks on our cruise last month.

In the courtyard we’re peanuts, peanut m&m, gummy bears, sliced cake, cookies. We asked our butler for cut up vegetables and dip ( very good), sliced cheese and crackers, sliced fruit ( we also had a fruit bowl. I also asked for shrimp but was told there was a charge so we just had the shrimp cocktail at dinner every night. We also got canapés ( awful) and chocolate covered strawberries ( hate). The casino sent several plates of assorted chocolates.

we also give the butler a note, more of a list, upon first meeting. it tells him or her what not to bring, as well as what we do like. in our case, that means we want mostly sliced fruit, cheese and crackers, chocolate covered strawberries and no cookies, M&Ms or gummy bears or pastries. this last cruise, on the joy, we also requested almond milk and cream, as well as earl grey and mint tea, all of which was provided.

 

be aware that in the haven you are likely to also get chocolates or other treats with a card from the GM or the casino, if you are a CAS player. these are in addition to whatever your butler normally provides and independent of what your stated preferences are. if you hate chocolate covered strawberries, but the casino is sending chocolate covered strawberries, you'll likely be getting chocolate covered strawberries that day. the butler has no way to substitute for something that has been ordered by another department.

 

i agree that contacting the pre-cruise concierge for snack and pillow and refrigerator stocking preferences is a complete waste of time.
