10 Foods to NEVER Eat on a Cruise

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Elana from Life Well Cruise discusses specific food and drink items that passengers might want to avoid while on a cruise ship. She notes that while cruise food is generally safe, certain buffet items may not meet quality or hygiene standards. The creator identifies scrambled eggs in the buffet as being made from powder and suggests visiting omelette stations for fresh alternatives. She also mentions that buffet bacon can be overcooked or thin and recommends the carving station or main dining room instead. Safety concerns are raised regarding buffet sushi being left out too long and the hygiene of self-serve soft serve ice cream machines. The video covers potential issues with desalinized water causing swelling, greasy buffet burgers, and communal condiments. Additionally, the creator advises caution with very spicy foods, beans, watered down free coffee, and sugary daily specialty drinks. As a final suggestion, some cruisers recommend opting for seated dining over self-service buffets to ensure better food quality and service.
