Creator's Key Takeaways

Some of these cruise ship foods might upset your stomach. Others could ruin your whole vacation.

Always bring a refillable bottle and stick to sealed bottled water when off the ship.

Many cruisers regret not booking at least one specialty dinner, especially when it turns out to be the best meal of the trip.

Cruise dining is a marathon, not a sprint. Don't let a dinner roll be your downfall.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Avoid communal condiment bars due to germs and unrefrigerated sauces.

✓Bring a refillable bottle and drink sealed bottled water when ashore.

✓Order from made-to-order egg stations instead of buffet scrambled eggs.

✓Use a napkin or bowl for soft serve ice cream to reduce contact.

✓Pace yourself with bread rolls to save room for main courses.

✓Book specialty dining for higher-quality, fresh meals.
