Creator's Key Takeaways

Some of these cruise ship foods might upset your stomach. Others could ruin your whole vacation.

That ketchup pump, you're not the first person to touch it.

Always bring a refillable bottle and stick to sealed bottled water when off the ship.

Many cruisers regret not booking at least one specialty dinner, especially when it turns out to be the best meal of the trip.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid communal condiment pumps due to hygiene risks.
Choose made-to-order eggs instead of buffet scrambled eggs.
Use a napkin or bowl for soft serve ice cream to reduce contact.
Book at least one specialty dining experience for a better meal.
