Creator's Key Takeaways

check out the location of your table once you get on the cruise ship the reason why you're going to want to do that is because the best time to get that table changed is getting it done early

ask your waiter they will let you know what are some of the things that are really really good that evening so it can help you make that choice a little bit easier

you can ask them is there anything that's being served that is not on the menu often there's usually an Indian dish or some other kind of Pan Asian dish that the crew eat

try something new there's nothing better to do than trying something new when there is absolutely no risk associated to it
