I would guess that in some places bringin produce off-ship would not be allowed for bug control issues (like the pears we had confiscated on our flight Bos-Bahamas many years ago and the "fruit police" stationed at California border)

Faina
As far as the box lunches go, I do think it would depend on the Cruise Line or Local restrictions. We had asked this on one of our cruises, I don't remember which cruise it was, but we were told food was not to be taken from the ship.

Almost forgot, Faina, you do not have to specially line up pockets for your cofee, just put plastic in while empty and pour drink after which you can close it with a rubber band. You can still them at the front desk. Unless you want to smuggle them on board then you have to pay for it and they not sold in small quantities so you will have to buy like 1000, so you better 'get' it elsewhere, I hope you understand what I mean {wink}
You can aslo take a plastic shopping bag (make sure no holes in it) and hang it on your ears. Then cover your head with a large scarf and walk by those security people (do not lift your head proudly though - they might just spot a bag under your chin).
Happy traveling and let us know if there is anything you need help with stealing, smuggling (your words not Sue's)...and concealing of course almost forgot concealing...

Geez, rough bunch!
Regarding the question about seafood versus fish, if one eats Kosher they can eat fish but not seafood.
And what difference does it make whether one eats their lunch on board the ship or on land unless laws do not allow food to be taken off the ship.
I truly believe, knowing Faina as I do who is a fine woman, she was making a joke so to speak when she used the word "smuggling".

LoveItaly: Does eating Kosher mean, inre to seafood that fish is allowable but shell creatures such as lobster, shrimp, snails, etc. are not? What about bottom feeding fish such as carp? I agree about Faina too.

Hello jacketwatch, hopefully Faina will come back to this thread and will answer your question regarding the foods. I have understood all shelled seafood is not permitted. I do not know about carp or snails. I am not Jewish so I am not an expert I just know a "bit" due to friends that do keep Kosher. Best regards.

Fish is kosher including carp but shell seafood is not because it is considered mean spirited.
Back to the main topic: taking food out is not stealing and bringing alcohol aboard is not smuggling. You are not breaking any law when bringing concealed alcohol. It is only cruise lines rule and the only reason for that to reach into your pocket. Enjoy your bootlegged booze.

37 replies on a usually quiest forum. I am goooood 
Now I need to apologize for my word choice. I should have asked simply if taking food off shore is allowed without using words like "smuggle", "steal" and "conseal".
I promise not to steal. Not to smuggle. Not to conseal.
From now on I'll be tamed and polite, no trolling, not even partial. From 8 to 5.
See, SueRich, I've elevated my standards. Now it's your turn to up yours.
As for food preferences... I eat fish, but no lobster, clam, what do you call those pink worms? Mean spirited? Sorry never heard of anything called that except some posters being mean spirited.
And if you guys want to know more about Kosher Food read the Old Testament. It repeats each word of The Torah. If this is not enough, www.aish.com is a great website.
