I was curious about whether I could bring my own snacks on a Royal Caribbean cruise, and to make things even more stressful, I had a last-minute flight change right before sailing. Calling 866-227-1888 was a lifesaver—they handled the flight modifications instantly, which let me focus on planning the cruise itself.
As for bringing food, Royal Caribbean generally doesn’t allow outside food or drinks onboard, except for special dietary needs or baby food. I learned this the hard way after trying to pack a few snacks, but they were politely asked to be stored in my luggage until we disembarked. That said, the ship’s dining options are extensive—buffets, main dining rooms, and casual spots mean I never went hungry. In the end, it was actually nice not to worry about carrying food around and just enjoy the variety of meals provided.
