They treat you very well in the suites on the smaller ships! Took a bit of adjustment after cruising quite a few ships with the waterfront, but we are loving it.

Also…the best thing about older ship balconies…no salt water stained glass!

I'm currently on the Dawn round-trip South Africa and I found cookies in the buffet during "Snack Time" from 2p-5p. Honestly every NCL cruise I've been on there's always been cookies in the buffet during "Snack Time."

On the Gem right now and can confirm that cookies are available in the afternoon at the Great Outdoors. 
 

They have brownies in Garden Cafe.

The Great Outdoors is our favorite place on that class of ship.

We got off a 14 day cruise on the Sky in mid March. The only cookies I saw during the cruise was at the ice cream station and they were only cookie crumbles. We asked an officer, and he said all NCL ships were going to stop having cookies at the 3:00 pm snack. I joked that I was going to start an online protest #NCL_NoCookies.

Yes!  We’ve seen oatmeal raisin, Chocolate Chip and Chocolate Chocolate chip.  They are a bit too crunchy for me as I prefer soft cookies but my husband has enjoyed a few this past week.

Saw oatmeal/raisin, chocolate chip..and what looked like macadamia nut with white chocolate chip!

Just off Getaway and can confirm there were no cookies out at the buffet during afternoon tea/snack time, nor at any other time. We received 1 plate of 4 cookies delivered once to our Club Balcony. There are also oatmeal raisin cookies offered as dessert option on the updated kids menu. These were nice and soft, much better and fresher than the rock hard ones delivered to our stateroom. They serve 2-3 at a time, and my understanding is that the kids menu is not limited to kids.
 

I don’t see why anyone couldn’t ask for the oatmeal cookies when dining anywhere the kids menu is available. They might say no, but if you really want those cookies order a kids option - they all come with dessert! A cup of roasted tomato soup is offered as a kids meal - I’d bet you could order that and ask for the oatmeal cookies with it.

Cookies are plentiful in the Studio Lounge on the Breakaway plus we were given double chocolate and chocolate chip on our Behind the Scenes Tour today.

Any April updates on the cookie situation?

I don't care about the cookies too much, but I've alerted my wife and daughter to this major issue and we'll check it out in 7 days when we board Getaway. Lol 😂 

It's not that I don't like a good cookie. I do! 

But I'll be happy to choose whatever is available to me and enjoy it!

Encore last week. 

 

We also had cookies delivered to our stateroom as a "treat". We had our room steward throw them out.

Ouch! Causing the cookie lovers of the world to cry! 

 

We do the same...if it doesn't have a warm, gooey center, I'm not eating 'em. No crispy biscuits for me!

Personally, I think that delivering buffet leftovers as a "special treat" to a stateroom is an insult. We'll take choco strawberries and chocolates.

This is not a challenge to what you’ve said. Do you know for certain that they really buffet leftovers?

 

also, you can have the strawberries…I’ll take the wine!

So, a quick question about NCL's policy regarding bringing food on board in US ports. 
 

On the repositioning cruise, when we stop in LA or San Francisco or Astoria and I go out into town and buy a couple of boxes of soft baked cookies, can I bring them back on board with me?

Only if you bring enough cookies for everybody who wants one.

I was seriously contemplating buying the Starbucks drink package. Thought it would be nice to take down a couple of soft baked cookies to enjoy with a specialty coffee. I've been tracking down stores close by to where the ship docks, and there ate plenty of opportunities to run out and grab some supplies. Including cookies.

NCL's Frequently Asked Questions says......

 

"Unsealed food items will not be allowed onboard."

 

I don't know how strict the cookie police are.

They will be sealed, still in the store bag with receipt. I wonder if the Ghirardelli store has fancy cookies?

I was able to order cookies as dessert when in the MDR. I did not see any in the buffet but it was on the Sky and I mostly just walked through. But I did look at the dessert section each time.
