Creator's Key Takeaways

If you're eating scrambled eggs at the cruise ship buffet, you're making a grave mistake.

Cruise ship buffets are popular for a reason, and it's probably my favorite place to eat on board any cruise ship.

By forgoing washing your hands, you're not only increasing the risk of illness for yourself, but also for every other passenger.

I think I ate almost 10 bowls on my week-long cruise, and I still dream of this meal.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wash your hands before and after using buffet utensils.
Save a seat before grabbing a plate during peak times.
Eat outside of peak times to avoid crowds.
Use live cooking stations for made-to-order dishes.
Browse all options before filling your plate.
