Creator's Key Takeaways

Cruise ships, they are floating sodium factories.

In 2025, cruise ships had a record-breaking year for gastrointestinal illness outbreaks.

A serving of bacon, just a few strips, can contain over 1,400 mg of sodium.

A single slice of American cheese contains over 500 mg of sodium.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Choose veggie toppings on pizza and limit to one or two slices.

✓Ask for low-sodium soup options or stick with fresh salads.

✓Opt for grilled proteins instead of deli sandwiches.

✓Be mindful of cheese consumption and choose lower-sodium varieties.

✓Request sauces on the side and use sparingly.

✓Limit bread intake to one piece per meal.
