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.

Use a napkin to pull the lever. Or honestly, skip the cone and grab a bowl. Less mess, less contact, and way less risk.

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

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid communal condiment pumps due to bacteria risk.
Drink only sealed bottled water when ashore.
Order eggs fresh at made-to-order stations instead of buffet trays.
Use a napkin to operate soft-serve machines or choose a bowl.
Limit bread basket consumption to save room for main courses.
