Creator's Key Takeaways

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.

Use a napkin to pull the lever. Or honestly, skip the cone and grab a bowl.

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

βœ“Avoid communal condiment stations due to unrefrigerated sauces and multiple hand contacts.
βœ“Bring a refillable bottle and use sealed bottled water, especially when ashore.
βœ“Order eggs from made-to-order stations instead of buffet scrambled eggs.
βœ“Use a napkin or bowl for soft serve to minimize contact.
βœ“Pace yourself with bread rolls to save room for main courses.
βœ“Book specialty dining for fresher, higher-quality meals.
