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

✓Avoid communal condiment stations due to unrefrigerated sauces and multiple hand contacts.

✓Bring a refillable bottle and use sealed bottled water, especially when ashore.

✓Order eggs from made-to-order stations instead of buffet scrambled eggs.

✓Use a napkin or bowl for soft serve to minimize contact.

✓Pace yourself with bread rolls to save room for main courses.

✓Book specialty dining for fresher, higher-quality meals.
