packed lunches

[Kentishgirl]

As you have paid for full board on the cruise, can you ask for a packed lunch to take on your excursions? Has anyone ever done this?

Some Countries do not allow food to be taken off the ship
I would check the Customs first

In Mexico there is several big garbage barrels full of food that people try to take off the ship

Sample the food of the Country you are visiting

No, there are restrictions on taking food off the ship. I think part of traveling is trying some of the local food. You will find lots of interesting food stands and restaurants in the Scandanavia/Baltic. In Copenhagen walking down the mile long pedestrian mall is fascinating.
