@@mistylee3286 The cookies are coconut cookies but are called "coconut ranger cookies", or sometimes "ranger cookies". They are available in the buffet, the Park Cafe, and other eating places on ships. .
For me, I love the Ranger cookies. They are an addiction to me on cruises. I even found the recipe to make at home. I LOVE THEM XD Their even better when they are freash. Soft and chewy while the coconut gives it a nice soft crunch. Sooooooooo Goooooood!
I just had the Kummelweck sandwich (multiple times) at Cafe 270 on Oddysey last week. It was as good as anything I ate at the specialty restaurants. This is the best quick lunch on the ship. Also... the Coconut Ranger cookies on Oddysey were amazing!
Oh, I’m so so glad that crepes made it onto this list. I looooved them, and also loved how many people didn’t know they were there - almost zero lines every time for me!
Thank you for giving credit to western New York for the Kimmelwick sandwich. I’ve never tried it on the ship because it’s literally everywhere at home (Rochester, NY).
I didn’t know they were called ranger cookies. Just thought they were coconut. Anyway their cookies are pretty darn good with ranger my favorite. Funnel cake and cheese sticks at Hideaway beach were really great.
Nice video, thanks. There used to be crepes on the Majesty. Do you remember the name of the bar? We used to like the complimentary sushi on the Freedom class ships.
Great call!!! The entire time I was watching this I was thinking... The best snack isn't actually on a ship so I wonder if Matt will include them? The Mozzy Sticks are so good that during the inaugural ICON cruise we decided to stay on the ship for the entire sailing to enjoy ICON.... The only exception was to run to a snack shack to get a couple helpings of Mozzy Sticks!
I really want to know why those mozerella sticks aren't available on the ship. I never knew about the Ranger cookie. I will definitely try it! Now that Ben and Jerry's is gone, enjoy the ice cream usually only available on the Oasis ships in its place. It's way better than B&J's.
Is there anything at all that is not breaded or contains zero sugar. This is great information for many people but sadly none of this works for my health. The only option in this list is the beef sandwich w/ no bun or the loco fresh ingredients in a bowl. Any chance I can find a dessert with stevia or monk fruit? Thanks for all your videos. I find them super helpful.
Are you going to be getting on the 9day symphony of the seas sailing out of NYC this summer? Also how many days would you say is too much or too little for days on a cruise?
My wife and I were on Freedom 2 weeks ago and planned dinner at 830.. so while most people were dining, we were seeing shows and doing stuff there were usually lines for during the day.. at about 530ish everyday we would swing by Sorrento's (no lines..) grab a couple slices to hold us over and go on our way.. Then at 830, wander to the main dining room which was not fully crowded for dinner... Grab a drink at 10 and wander the deck or people watch till 1 am.. it was AWESOME!. Not a rating on the pizza itself per se.. but to the fact that it was available anytime till 2 am... They win something... 😂😂
I guess it was an off day when I was there. But the mozzarella sticks were disappointing. I asked around and many were saying the same thing, others that had been at coco cay said they are usually very good and we’re surprised that day they were not as good. In my own rankings in my head I have ranger cookies 1st and Sorrento pizza second… as the best snacks (and most popular)
Based on multiple visits to CocoCay over a couple of years, the mozzarella sticks and sauce remind me of what Sonic was serving 5 years ago (haven't been by a Sonic since then). They're basic foodservice frozen mozzarella sticks with a tomato paste based sauce. I don't get the hype either.
@@sunstonefv5353I agree. They're good, but they're the same as the usual MDR lunch mozzarella sticks, which aren't always the same if they get a different supplier (looking at you, Alaska cruises).
I think my biggest gripe is not having snack/food options after 9pm - the Cafe Promenade and Sorrentos is good, but Royal could do better. If I get the munchies, can I hit a spot for that? Maybe something to consider.
Ranger cookies all the way! I waited in line to get them on a recent cruise and asked for 10 cookies…to share of course! Another person saw my stack of cookies and said….Why didn’t I do that ?!?!?!
The Windjammer on every ship should have Crepes, nachos and mac n cheese if they are not available elsewhere, like on the Vision class. The rest of this list are great too! Extra pay items and the rest are available already everywhere.
I actually think Sorento's is really tasty. One of my favorite things ever was the chicken strips on Chill Island (I think our cabana attendant said he cut up the chicken sandwich...they were delicious).
I know, without a doubt, that I am going to have Sorrento's pizza daily on every cruise. When we get on board, Sorrento's has sort of become our 'go-to' first destination. It's like, we get to the ship, go through embarkation, and get on board, and then hit up Sorrento's. It's like, "okay, NOW we are officially on our cruise!"
I was disappointed with the ice cream, soft serve cones. It's gritty and not smooth or creamy. If I had to guess, it is ice milk. I wish it was like DQ, and I'd get it every day. As it is, it's not even worth getting with so many other delicious options on board.
Just got off a cruise last month and I think my gf must've eaten at least two dozen ranger cookies if not more. Every time we stopped in the Windjammer, if they had them, she was eating them
I have never understood why so many people fall over themselves to get the Kummelwick sandwich onboard. Way too much bread, and the meat (contrary to what's shown here) is often fatty and/or dry. There are *way* better cuts of meat on board any major RC ship, imo.
I'm addicted to the soft serve "ice cream". I'm sure other snacks are more unique and even better but I can't help it. The one thing I laugh at is that it is called "Sprinkles" when there are no sprinkles available.
If I’m being honest this kind of list should be separated by “sweet” and “savory” because if I’m being honest- being able to choose between the Cococay mozzarella sticks and the ice cream in the parlor… couldn’t decide as far as “favorite snack” (among other choices)
I know it shouldn't... but the fact that they call them Raisin Oatmeal Cookies instead of Oatmeal Raisin like they're called everywhere else really irks me!
I wish all the blogger’s would at least mention gluten free options. I am going on my third gluten free cruise on Royal Caribbean next February but otherwise I’m limited on cruise destinations. My first was to Alaska and there were 250 of us. My second was to the Bahamas and there were 1500 of us. We are growing with Royal Caribbean and Celiac Cruises but have no support from Bloggers. I’m inviting you to jump on board and give the thousands of us a little bit of information. Thanks
Cookies everywhere on this list. Are we sure Emma didn't write this? I think pizza is my favourite snack on board a cruise ship, and Sorrento's does the job, but it's not the greatest - I equate it to the slices that some chain pizza places sell you. I think that if they gave you more options to top off your pizza - oregano, powdered garlic, evoo etc - it would enhance the slices more.
I just feel like the guacamole on Royal Caribbean el loco fresh shouldn’t be allowed to be called guacamole! It tastes like the “guacamole” from the grocery store which tastes more like a processed dip.
@@CK-cz6ml Lol... To each their own. I also hate mayonnaise. I Guess Next you'll tell me it's the best condiment ever invented? If it's so bad, then where is there always a long line there????
Oh you mean, Royal’s Pizza Pate’. Raw crap they call pizza. If they cook it enough, it’s good. I almost always have to ask them to make me a pizza and to “almost burn it”. That way, at least it’s cooked. I really don’t understand how any passengers can call their undercooked pizza, “good”. SMH
@@GLOCKDPLUSFlowriders Yes, of course. I've cruised on 6 RC ships. Milk is relatively hard to come by. Openly available for BREAKFAST at Windjammer. Otherwise, it has to be fetched from the kitchen which usually takes times. Not 100% certain but pretty sure that none of the restaurants and cafes have it on hand. Not an issue for me but it does not make sense to me that it is not available where a variety of cookies cakes, pies and pastries are served. My solution: I fetch several of the half pint containers from "Jammer" and keep them in my cabin fridge. That's a bit much.
US-style pizza is just unappealing to Australians - our taste is to have lots of different toppings on a pizza. We look at pizzas with just pepperoni, and think ugh… boring and bland.
The ranger cookies are ADDICTIVE! I eat dozens of them every cruise
I bring along zip bags so I can store some in our cabin for later, late night tea and cookies.

please share this recipe!! From which website??? thanks in advance
OMG Ranger cookies! I didn't know the name but they are SO DANG GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The funnel cakes at snack shop in Coco Cay!! Hubs likes the brownies there.

Ranger cookies are my favorite on Royal Caribbean! So good!
#1 - tapas from Vintages on Oasis and Allure - the authentic Spanish Tapas menu! Absolutely divine.
#2 nachos from El Loco Fresh
Oh, I’m so so glad that crepes made it onto this list. I looooved them, and also loved how many people didn’t know they were there - almost zero lines every time for me!
Campfire cookie? I'm today years old and never had heard of it. On Oasis in July, so I'll check it out.
The bread pudding is my fav!!! A different version everyday of the cruise. Blueberry bread pudding with ice cream was incredible!!!!!
The empanadas at Coco Cay are phenomenal too! I think we downed 10 of those while we were there
Thank you for giving credit to western New York for the Kimmelwick sandwich. I’ve never tried it on the ship because it’s literally everywhere at home (Rochester, NY).
I've been raving about the kummelwick sandwich since my honeymoon in 2013 on AOS! I can't wait to have my Dad try one on our trip next year.
Kemiwick sandwich is my #1.
the caramel brownies on cococay are so underrated
2 ranger cookies + ice cream scoops from the buffet = the best ice cream sandwich on sea.
The campfire cookie is awesome.
So many favs that we couldn’t pick just one! We love you Matt!!!

That apple mushroom sandwich from Pearl Cafe on Icon is delicious.
YES!!! the oatmeal raisin cookie and Nachos both my top picks.
As a WNYer... if you're having a "Beef on Weck" (ie the kummelwick sandwich) you have to top with some horseradish!
What about the tower of onion rings at Playmakers

The spa makes a REALLY GOOD homemade granola bar! Shhhh…..don’t tell anyone. I don’t want everyone to know! They’re so so good!

9:14 matt you have earned my hearty respect! indeed the world's best pizza is from new haven!

I miss having the soup and kummelweck sandwich back on the ship
Where in CT are you getting pizza? I'm from CT and the pizza is okay but there are all different kinds!
Pepe’s, Ernie’s, Zuppardis

Going on adventure in 30 days so I’m saving this video! Going to try them ALL!😂😂
every time i go on a cruise me and my family have atleast a bowl of coconut ranger cookies in our room at all times lol
Every time I’ve gotten a cookie(4 times only). It’s been kinda stale. Is there a time or thing to ask for a fresher cookie?
Just watching this video is driving my A1C out of sight.
😂
Me too. I will be on an RC cruise starting tomorrow and I’m scared of coming back looking like a butterball 🤣🤣🤣
I know that feeling !
The Mozz sticks are on the ship!! At least they were on the Independence, We were able to get them as a starter at lunch at the MDR
Ranger cookies all the way! I waited in line to get them on a recent cruise and asked for 10 cookies…to share of course! Another person saw my stack of cookies and said….Why didn’t I do that ?!?!?!
I did that last time. I was on my way to meet my family for trivia & I showed up with a plate of cookies!"
Do they have good Ranch dip/dressing (not bottled...like homemade yummm)
RANGER COOKIES FOR SURE

Mudslide cookies for me! Just the right amount of chocolate flavor without being over the top
Where are these from?
@@durwoodjr Usually in the Windjammer or Cafe Promenade
Dont forget the Kemblewick Sandwich is also at Cafe 270 on Quantum class
True!
Ranger and chocolate chip cookies are our favorite my kids like the wings and pizza
36 days until Ovation of the Seas. I will have to "test" your rankings!!!!
Ranger cookies should have been NUMBER ONE!
AGREED!!! XD The Fresher the better they are
I was so sad I didn’t see any Ranger cookies on my Voyager sailing last November. 😢 If they were there I couldn’t find them!
@@charitye710 Which cruise did you take? They usually only do them on the Warm weather cruises, like to the Caribbean and such.
agreed!!
We are currently on navigator of the seas, the food is terrible. Ps the cookies are stale.
I was mad that in Dec on Symphony there weren't any raisin oatmeal cookies. 😢😭
RANGER COOKIES!!
My kids told me whatever ship we take next HAS to have a sorrentos! They loved that stuff. Age 15/19
I've heard that the few RCCL ships that don't have a sorrentos still have the pizza.
I was disappointed with the ice cream, soft serve cones. It's gritty and not smooth or creamy. If I had to guess, it is ice milk. I wish it was like DQ, and I'd get it every day. As it is, it's not even worth getting with so many other delicious options on board.
I thought it was super icy and not like traditional soft serve as well
if i have unlimited dining is playmakers included? Thanks
I thought the crispy chicken sandwich at Coco Cay was his favorite?
Ranger Coconut Cookies!!!
Yummy!
Where is the snack shack? I did not see when I was on the island. :(
Just got off a cruise last month and I think my gf must've eaten at least two dozen ranger cookies if not more. Every time we stopped in the Windjammer, if they had them, she was eating them

What ship is this on?
Define leftover cookies.. I don't understand this concept. Ranger cookies 🍪 ROCK!!
I can get behind the campfire cookie.
Yep 😁
The Cookies and Ice Cream by far !
Yep. Kimmelweck Sandwich
My kids will agree with you on raisins in cookies. 😅
hey , playmakers isnt inclusive ?
No, it costs extra
My Favorite is to take two chocolate chip cookies and make an ice cream sandwich with the soft serve.
All of that food got me looking swollen this week. 😂
I'm addicted to the soft serve "ice cream". I'm sure other snacks are more unique and even better but I can't help it. The one thing I laugh at is that it is called "Sprinkles" when there are no sprinkles available.

Key Lime Pie ! ! !
well, my mom raves about Sorrentos every time when we get home so :)
The Kemmilwick I had was fatty and had lots of gristle. Don't feel like taking a chance on another one.
Hear me out… coleslaw wrap from cafe promonade. Hahaha my wife thinks I’m insane
I vote for coffee ice cream and double chocolate cookies, I hope Voyager of the seas has some of my favorites. #VoyagerGC
Where in CT? So I can try it. It is in Mystic? 😂😂😂😂
New Haven. Sally’s or Pepe’s.
New Haven. Mystic pizza is pretty awful.
Pepe's is my choice
If I’m being honest this kind of list should be separated by “sweet” and “savory” because if I’m being honest- being able to choose between the Cococay mozzarella sticks and the ice cream in the parlor… couldn’t decide as far as “favorite snack” (among other choices)
Good stuff. No thanks with the marshmallows.
Now I am hungry
Mozzarella sticks?? What!
New York has the best pizza
What?!? Chocolate chip cookie out of the list in favor of oatmeal?
Moment of silence for the table-side guac from Sabor 😢
The good old days!
I don't think sorentos pizza should be on the list it's terrible
You didn’t say Connecticut 🤦♀️
I know it shouldn't... but the fact that they call them Raisin Oatmeal Cookies instead of Oatmeal Raisin like they're called everywhere else really irks me!
Coco KAY this has been the issue.. RCCL even announces it as such in their commercials on their cruises.. get it right please.. it so annoying
