Creator's Key Takeaways

Some of the best food on the entire ship is sitting just a few steps away, completely ignored.

You're missing out because no one told you where to look.

Don't just follow the crowd to the buffet, because the best breakfast on the ship is often the one you have to look for.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Ask crew members for fresh batches of pastries instead of taking display items.
Look for dining room breakfast service or quiet lounges for free specialty coffee instead of paying at the coffee bar.
Order room service breakfast the night before using the door card to have it delivered to your balcony.
Request extra crispy bacon directly from the kitchen or live station rather than taking it from the buffet.
