Creator's Key Takeaways

Not everything on that shiny buffet line is your friend. Some foods can leave you feeling bloated and miserable.

One squirt of that room temperature mayo might be all it takes to turn your stomach into a war zone.

Most of the time, those eggs aren't real eggs at all. On many cruise lines, what you're scooping onto your plate is actually powdered eggs.

That ice cream machine? It's one of the most hightouch surfaces on the entire ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Use a napkin to cover your hand when pulling the ice cream lever or go for soft serve cups behind the counter.
โœ“Skip the buffet on embarkation day and head to the main dining room or poolside spots.
โœ“Sanitize every time at buffet stations.
โœ“Find the manager and clearly state food allergies instead of guessing.

Food hygiene at buffets โ€” Sanitize every time, use napkins for ice cream levers, and avoid unrefrigerated condiments.
