Creator's Key Takeaways

Most cruise food is safe and delicious. Yet, the choices you make at the buffet or the grill can decide how you feel for the rest of the day.

Your stomach is already working harder at sea. Add rolling motion and you have a recipe for reflux, bloating, and nausea.

Those ketchup and mustard bottles look harmless, but they are some of the most touched items on the ship.

Sushi is all about time and temperature. On a busy buffet line, you cannot know how long that tray has been out.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Pick made-to-order food when offered instead of buffet items that have been sitting out.
✓Avoid heavy, rich, or spicy foods, especially on the first day of the cruise.
✓Use a clean napkin to press communal condiment pumps instead of your fingers.
✓Choose crew-served ice cream or sealed drinks instead of self-serve machines.
✓Avoid soft cheeses and unpasteurized dairy if they do not look cold and firm.
✓Get eggs cooked fresh at the omelet station or main dining room instead of buffet scrambled eggs.
