(Carnival serve it on the main deck where the main pool is during Dive-In movies.)
Which is outdoors and not where it can be ground into carpeting.

The funny thing is that you can bring in chicken fingers, fries and ice cream for FREE! Or shawarma, sandwiches, peel and eat shrimp... (well u get the point). That meal would cost $20+ at one of the parks! Agreed it seems odd that after all of that they would charge for something that literally costs pennies per serving. I don't buy the cleanup arguement either, there are CMs all over the ship keeping it tidy. The trash left over in the theater from all of the other carry in food has to be as bad as popcorn.
Carnival has its movies on the pool deck so a lot less people to serve. Less demand for popcorn, less mess, and wood decks and deck chairs are easier to keep cleanDoes Carnival have a similar amount of kids like DCL has?
I think the ratio would be at least 10:1 for DCLvsCC
Kids tend to eat popcorn more than adults.
Actually I have seen them stop people from bringing those things in before, so technically I do not think it is allowed. People just get lucky and get away with it sometimes.
Ok Dug720 - 4 pages in and you're the only one that states this. Been on a few cruises myself and never ever ever did anyone say don't bring anything in. They could easily stop this practice by posting a sign at the entrance.. but last i head no such sign exists. Of course nobody is bringing peel and eat shrimp in, but we have on plenty of occasions brought ice cream and even rarely chicken fingers and fries.
I have never seen any official written policy but on three seperate cruises I have seen cast outside the theater spiel that food (outside of what can be purchased at Preludes) was not allowed in the theater. And on at least one occasion I have seen them stop someone with chicken fingers.Nor does your seeing it make it official policy. Nor is your statement of what should and shouldn't have been intended to be taken into the theatre. Clearly this is your opinion, yet you state it as fact. Whether they allow it or not is up to DCL. Clearly if they allow it then its not policy then, is it?
When we first started cruising DCL, they pretty much let people bring whatever munchies they wanted into both the Walt Disney Theater as well as the Buena Vista.Ok Dug720 - 4 pages in and you're the only one that states this.

In my experience, snack-type foods are allowed. That's sodas, popcorn, ice cream, etc. French Fries - sometimes allowed, often not.We have always brought in soda floats, (put ice cream in our cups, add root beer or cola) and French fries into the theater. I had no idea that was against the rules. It’s not posted anywhere. We have also taken in sealed bags of flavored popcorn and canned drinks given to us by the Concierge staff. No one has every said anything to us. Are we sure it’s against the Disney rules?
That seems so weird to me. Here it's really common for movie theater to sell full on meals as snack food. Chicken fingers, nachos, hot dogs, etc. It wouldn't have occurred to me that it wouldn't be allowed into a theater on the ship.When we first started cruising DCL, they pretty much let people bring whatever munchies they wanted into both the Walt Disney Theater as well as the Buena Vista.
About 3 years ago, they stopped allowing "meal-type food" (burgers/pizza/fries) into the WDT, but would still allow it in the BVT. And, yes, I've seen people stopped who were bringing such things into the WDT. On occasion, there have been CMs inside the BVT asking people to remove their burgers/whatever before the movie started.
They've always (well, at least as long as I've been on DCL) allowed snack type foods in both theaters (ice cream, popcorn, candy, soda).
On at least 2 (Fantasy & Magic).That seems so weird to me. Here it's really common for movie theater to sell full on meals as snack food. Chicken fingers, nachos, hot dogs, etc. It wouldn't have occurred to me that it wouldn't be allowed into a theater on the ship.
Out of curiosity, have you observed this on one ship or across multiples?
