Creator's Key Takeaways

the buffet on your cruise ship is not going to be the most glamorous place to eat but that doesn't mean proper etiquette should be ignored

don't forget to reserve a seat it's actually a really good idea when you walk into the windair one of my favorite tips is to find a seat before you start scoping out the food that's there

don't skip the handwashing station before you enter make sure you stop at the handwashing station to wash your hands

don't be afraid to speak up if you have food allergies food allergies can be life threatening and Royal Kia knows the importance of having allergen-free menus

Creator's Tips & Advice

Find a seat before getting food to avoid seating issues
Walk through the entire buffet to assess options before filling your plate
Start with one plate and return for seconds to avoid waste
Use new plates and utensils for each trip to prevent cross-contamination
Use serving utensils instead of bare hands for food
Be patient and avoid cutting in line at buffet stations
