I always do 4 things at the buffet on every cruise I go to because it improves my meal every time

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator shares personal strategies for navigating the Windjammer buffet on Royal Caribbean ships to ensure a more enjoyable and efficient dining experience. He outlines four specific habits he follows, starting with washing hands at the entrance to mitigate health risks. He recommends securing a seat before collecting food to avoid the difficulty of balancing plates while searching for a table. To prevent food waste, he suggests walking around the buffet stations to survey all available options before filling a plate. Additionally, he advises prioritizing live cooking stations, such as the pasta or Asian stir fry stations, because they allow for customized meals prepared on the spot. The video also covers etiquette, warning against reusing plates or silverware due to cross-contamination and advising against using bare hands to grab food. Finally, the creator discusses the social gray area of whether it is acceptable to bypass a long line to grab a single pre-prepared item, such as chips, from the end of a station.
