Creator's Key Takeaways

Some of these cruise ship foods might upset your stomach. Others could ruin your whole vacation.

Imagine hundreds of hands grabbing those handles throughout the day. But here's the bigger issue. These condiments are often left out unrefrigerated for hours.

Always bring a refillable bottle and stick to sealed bottled water when off the ship. It's a small precaution that could save your entire trip from going down the drain.

Those eggs sitting under heat lamps in the buffet. They're often made from powder. Yep. Not fresh cracked, powdered.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid communal condiment pumps due to hygiene risks.
Drink only sealed bottled water when ashore.
Order eggs from made-to-order stations instead of buffet trays.
Use a napkin to operate soft-serve machines or skip the cone.
Pace yourself with bread rolls to save room for main courses.
Book at least one specialty dining experience for better quality.
