Creator's Key Takeaways

Cruise dining is one of the best parts of cruising, but breakfast might be underrated in good part because most cruisers aren't aware of the best options.

Now, I have a little confession to make. At home, I never eat breakfast. And yet somehow on a cruise I am eating breakfast I think every single day and sometimes some people would say twice.

Now, on Carnival cruise ships, many of them have blue iguana. That is an amazing place to get a pretty fabulous breakfast burrito.

And bonus, if you've got a balcony, you've got coffee and a little breakfast with an incredible ocean view.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Check out alternative restaurants on board your cruise ship that offer breakfast that are not the buffet and not the main dining room.
βœ“Head to the main dining room for breakfast for freshly made eggs benedict or customizations.
βœ“Order room service breakfast, especially Continental service which is often free.
βœ“Try the C-day brunch available on many cruise lines.
βœ“Eat breakfast before getting off the cruise ship for the day to avoid hunger on excursions.
