Creator's Key Takeaways

I know it's really tempting to go straight to the buffet as soon as you embark on your cruise ship because you're tired it's probably been a long day and you're hungry

try not to take any food out of the buffet meaning don't go into the buffet get a plate of food and then take it out to the pool

you have to wash your hands now most of you know this who have been on a cruise before there will always be a crew member stood outside with hand sanitizer

make sure especially if it's your first day scout out the whole Buffet see where they serve different options

Creator's Tips & Advice

Ask crew about alternative dining venues on embarkation day to avoid buffet crowds
Do not take buffet plates outside the buffet area; use designated eateries for on-the-go food
Scout the entire buffet layout to discover all food options
Use correct tongs for each dish to avoid cross-contamination for allergy sufferers
Get a fresh plate each time you return for more food
