Creator's Key Takeaways
Every single week a cruise ship has to feed 7,000 passengers three meals a day plus snacks, desserts, midnight pizzas, and 24-hour room service without running out of a single thing.
If a delivery of fish arrives even 2° warmer than it should be, the entire shipment gets rejected and sent back.
The average cruise passenger visits a food outlet on the ship between eight and 10 times per day.
7,000 passengers, most of them on vacation and staying up later than usual, will collectively drink over 50,000 cups of coffee in a single week.
