Creator's Key Takeaways

Not all cruise food is created equal, and some of it, let's just say, it's better admired than digested.

That ketchup pump might just be a germ jacuzzi.

Those eggs, they might not be eggs at all, or at least not the kind your grandma used to crack on Sunday morning.

Mystery Meat at Sea is a buffet gamble that too often ends in regret.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Go for sealed condiment packets or skip condiments altogether.
Stick to sealed bottled water when off the ship and bring a refillable bottle.
Skip buffet eggs and opt for made-to-order omelettes.
Use a napkin to pull the soft serve lever or skip the cone for a bowl.
Go easy on the bread basket to save room for the main course.
Save raw seafood for specialty dining venues instead of buffets.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Overeating bread before the main courseGo easy on the bread; one roll is enough to keep you busy while waiting.
Trying mystery meat dishes without labelsIf you can't name it, don't eat it; ask staff or stick to labeled dishes.
