You could try Protein Shots. Be sure it is a good one; lots of non-whey based shots out there and those do not absorb so well.

You might also consider Protein Bars. Again, find a good one that is high protein and low carbs. It is hard to find on that is low Carb/ sugar and still tastes good. People on this site tend to go with Nugo, Pure and similar bars. I also noticed Luna has a Protein Bar now. These are very good tasting (tried one), have 10 grams of protein, but tend to be high in carbs / sugar. I bring Luna up because women like these and they are design for women nutritional needs.

Also you could pack up servings of Protein shake in plastic Ziploc baggies and make Water based shakes if you take a blender cup.

Finally, a low fat beef Jerky will preserve well without refrigeration on the cruise. Just be careful not to eat too much of it!

I could debate the answer from your nutritionist. Most nuts are higher in Proteins than carbs. For a short term snack almonds or cashews (both unsalted) would not be a bad thing. Now, they are higher in fats, but not a bad fat (not hydrogenated). So for a cruise, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I eat a handful of nuts pretty much every other day and it is a good snack and give you a crunch factor as well. Bars are okay, but there's so many out there and so much junk in some of them you have to be really careful. I'm not a bar fan, but I'm liking Quest bars right now, and they have about 20g carbs and about 24gs Proteins. The other thing to consider is that you have to look at what you eat across the board, not each individual meal. Sometimes in a meal, my carbs are equal to my proteins, but at the end of the day, I adjust and I shoot for about a 2-1 spread.

Jealous about you going on a cruise (love cruising) Have fun
