2 ranger cookies + ice cream scoops from the buffet = the best ice cream sandwich on sea.

What is a ranger cookie

@@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. .

Kemiwick sandwich is my #1.

Ranger cookies are my favorite on Royal Caribbean! So good!

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... 😂😂

As a WNYer... if you're having a "Beef on Weck" (ie the kummelwick sandwich) you have to top with some horseradish!

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'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.

RANGER COOKIES FOR SURE

RANGER COOKIES!!

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.

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!"

The bread pudding is my fav!!! A different version everyday of the cruise. Blueberry bread pudding with ice cream was incredible!!!!!

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.

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).

#1 - tapas from Vintages on Oasis and Allure - the authentic Spanish Tapas menu! Absolutely divine. #2 nachos from El Loco Fresh

Ranger cookies and Campfire cookie. Yummy

The campfire cookie is awesome.

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.

So many favs that we couldn’t pick just one! We love you Matt!!!

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.

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!

What about the tower of onion rings at Playmakers

36 days until Ovation of the Seas. I will have to "test" your rankings!!!!

Going on adventure in 30 days so I’m saving this video! Going to try them ALL!😂😂

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.

We are currently on navigator of the seas, the food is terrible. Ps the cookies are stale.

Campfire cookie? I'm today years old and never had heard of it. On Oasis in July, so I'll check it out.

The empanadas at Coco Cay are phenomenal too! I think we downed 10 of those while we were there

I miss having the soup and kummelweck sandwich back on the ship

That apple mushroom sandwich from Pearl Cafe on Icon is delicious.

YES!!! the oatmeal raisin cookie and Nachos both my top picks.

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!"

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.

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?

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

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.

Define leftover cookies.. I don't understand this concept. Ranger cookies 🍪 ROCK!!

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

I was mad that in Dec on Symphony there weren't any raisin oatmeal cookies. 😢😭

Mudside cookie should be number one

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.

The Cookies and Ice Cream by far !

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?

All of that food got me looking swollen this week. 😂

I can get behind the campfire cookie.

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.

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.

Good stuff. No thanks with the marshmallows.

My Favorite is to take two chocolate chip cookies and make an ice cream sandwich with the soft serve.

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.

Hear me out… coleslaw wrap from cafe promonade. Hahaha my wife thinks I’m insane

Mozz sticks yes!!!!!

I thought the crispy chicken sandwich at Coco Cay was his favorite?

well, my mom raves about Sorrentos every time when we get home so :)

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.

Yep. Kimmelweck Sandwich

Now I am hungry

What ship is this on?

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

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.

The Kemmilwick I had was fatty and had lots of gristle. Don't feel like taking a chance on another one.

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)

Mozzarella sticks?? What!

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.

After a 9 night cruise just seeing a picture of Sorrentos makes me want to vomit. Royal needs better late night offerings.
