Creator's Key Takeaways

I would rather have a little bit in every location than just absolutely annihilate my digestive system in the buffet

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Ask crew members about other open food venues on embarkation day to avoid buffet crowds.
✓Eat buffet food inside the buffet; do not take plates to the pool area.
✓Cover up with a shirt if wearing swimwear in the buffet to be considerate and prevent slips.
✓Scout the entire buffet layout before picking up a plate to see all available options.
✓Decide on your food before reaching the serving line to avoid holding up other passengers.
✓Use fresh plates and cups for every trip to the buffet to maintain hygiene.

Buffet crowds on the first day — Ask crew members which other venues are open for food and drink to avoid the rush.
Lack of healthy food options — Look for salad options and different meats; health-conscious lines like Virgin Voyages have many options.
Weight gain — It is your choice; you can choose to eat healthy options like salad and fish throughout the cruise.
