Creator's Key Takeaways

Some options could upset your stomach, leave you bloated, or just plain ruin your day at sea.

Sushi at sea can be sketchy. If it's been sitting out for too long, it's a no-go.

The drink of the day is often overpriced sugar water with barely any booze.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Head to the omelet station for fresh eggs instead of buffet scrambled eggs.
✓Look for carved ham at the carving station instead of buffet bacon.
✓Get sushi right when the buffet opens or at a specialty restaurant.
✓Opt for bottled water if sensitive to desalinized sea water.
✓Find the poolside grill or burger bar for fresh burgers.
