12 Cruise Dining SECRETS I Wish I Knew Sooner!

Cruise food & dining is a big part of cruising! In fact, cruise ships feed thousands of passengers and crew every single day. From the lido buffet to the main dining room, to specialty restaurants & even "secret" menu items - there's a lot of things cruisers don't know (but will be glad you do now!). In this video I share everything about cruise food & dining. This includes how cruise lines keep food fresh, how they deal with food allergies & dietary restrictions, & how they reduce waste on mega cruise ships. First time cruisers & seasoned veterans will get a behind the scenes look at cruise ship galleys & what really happens that most cruisers never see.
