Creator's Key Takeaways
The first thing we should know about food is that for most of the history of passenger shipping, onboard cuisine was terrible.
Today things are much much better and for a large part we can thank refrigeration for that.
Each year, the passengers consume enough sugar to make 8 million scon go through 7,000 boxes of strawberries and drink enough tea to fill an Olympic sized swimming pool.
The Oasis class with a gross tonnage of 225,000 are reported to use 6 million coffee beans, 60,000 eggs, and 317 kg of ice cream.

Food on the early cruises was awful... so how did it get so good? From specialty dining to 24/7 buffets, food is something that you can easily access on a cruise ship today. So, you might be wondering where all that produce is stored? Let’s go aboard to find out. -- 🚢 Cunard History Website: https://www.chriscunard.com/ 📚 Buy books: https://www.chrisframe.com.au/books 👕 Buy cruise merch: https://chrisframeofficial.Teemill.com/ 🛳️ Learn about cruising: https://www.chrisframe.com.au/ 🎧 Big Cruise Podcast: https://thebigcruisepodcast.com/ -- More from this video: Every cruise ship contains vast spaces of refrigerated storage. These areas are generally located below the waterline and comprise a variety of different storage zones. There are also massive dry storage areas too. Visiting this space feels a little bit like an oversized supermarket or a big box store – with pallets of cereals, crisps, crackers, soft drinks, long life milks, tinned food, tea and coffee as just some of the examples of what you’ll find here.
