Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm always fascinated about the logistics of feeding thousands of people on a cruise ship.

The biggest takeaway from this is how absolutely pristine, clean, and immaculate everything is back here.

Carnival takes food allergies really seriously. They're very careful and diligent about avoiding crosscontamination.

They have an entirely different menu for the crew which caters to the various nationalities of the folks working on the ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be aware that Carnival tracks cruiser data to replace less popular menu items for variety.
If you have food allergies, know that Carnival is careful about cross-contamination.
