Creator's Key Takeaways

What goes into the food you eat on a cruise ship is something that would make most passengers put down their fork immediately.

The food at the very front of the display, the food you naturally reach for, is often the oldest food in that particular tray.

If you have a serious food allergy, please do not rely solely on menu labels and general assurances.

The quality difference between a cruise ship specialty restaurant and the main dining room is significant, not subtle, genuinely significant.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Ask for food from a freshly opened tray at the buffet.
βœ“Contact the cruise line's special dietary needs department before boarding if you have allergies.
βœ“Check the ship's VSP inspection score at the CDC website before booking.
βœ“Purchase specialty dining packages before boarding to save 20-30%.
βœ“Eat the sit-down breakfast in the main dining room for the best quality included meal.
