I'm not worried about them going bad once I get them on the ship... four tortillas can go several days without refrigeration. It's like buying a loaf of bread.

Also, I'm not buying that many just for me! My whole family in New Orleans will need some... we will split them up and freeze them, that way they will last till the next time one of us can get back to my mom's hometown in AZ! (Just don't want anyone thinking I'm COMPLETELY off my rocker! :D)

It's always a possibility that time of year, but you take a chance... if it's canceled, we get our money back... been there, done that!

So, I'm going to Cozumel on a cruise with my husband and several of our friends in September.
You do understand that Sept id prime Height of hurricane season.... decent chance you will end up somewhere eslse but Mexico..., though likely you will pass through Key West, though even that can get called off, and sunndenly you are in the Bahamas,, Jamaca or somehwere else.

Not a given, but very likely that time of year.... why rates were rather low too then.

New travel rules went into effect June 1 (2009). You will need to get that updated, and do it right away since there is a backlog delay. The name on your reservation must match the name on your documents exactly.

You must have the following or you will be denied re-entry into the U.S.

Land/Sea Travel
Beginning June 1, 2009

Fresh, preservative-free flour tortillas can mold VERY easily and quickly, as in a few days after being baked. And ocean liners are in damp environments, obviously, though cabins have AC. But I don't know that you're going to be successful in getting these home without any mold on them. I'm not sure how to best avoid this, but it's a concern. They're probably not expensive down there, though, so it probably won't cost you much to find out. Refrigerating them on the ship may reduce chances for mold but may make them lose their fresh soft feel-- they may go stale in there. Freezing them would work, if you could keep them frozen. Also, transferring them to and from cool dry environments (fridge, freezer, AC'ed room) to tropical and desert temperatures can cause condensation inside the wrapping and lead to mold within a day.

Since you're not flying at all, you must be taking ground transportation back from Cozumel, so I don't see how this can work for you.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cruise-Ship-22645991 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:15:33 EDT Re: Cruise Ship http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cruise-Ship-22645894 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cruise-Ship-22645894 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:54:51 EDT Re: Cruise Ship http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cruise-Ship-22645223 said by Fubar:

How long is the cruise? How are you going to keep them from going bad?
Most cruise ships I have been on have a mini-fridge in the cabin. Just don't drink any of the stuff in the fridge, unless you want to pay $2.50 for a can of Coke.

Also I'd like to chime in, they were really coming down on the food. When we took our cruise out of Port Canaveral they were hammering that you couldn't take food in that wasn't pre package and sealed. If they follow the usual cruise procedure they have dogs inspect your bags that you left for them to pick up the night prior to disembarking. IIRC the fines went up as well. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cruise-Ship-22644760 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 12:10:49 EDT Re: Cruise Ship http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cruise-Ship-22644425 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cruise-Ship-22644425 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:08:47 EDT Re: Cruise Ship http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cruise-Ship-22637672 --

My mom grew up in the southwest in a little border town where she had a lady who always made them for her family. Ever since I was little, she would buy dozens and dozens of them on our annual trips out west to visit family... but since her parents have passed, none of us make it out there often, and it's WAAAAY too expensive to have them shipped. My plan is to bring her back a little taste of home. It's impossible to find the REAL DEAL in SE Louisiana! :)

But tortillas you should be fine.
I'd consider taking ziploc plastic bags to transport them, no saying how they are going to wrap them for you.

My question is... Will they let me bring the tortillas back on the ship? We don't have to fly at all, so airline regulations aren't a problem.

Anyone know? Thanks!
