Creator's Key Takeaways

the mistake i think that cruise lines make is they offer a bonus to this person in charge if they can go under budget so you've basically got this person trying to feed all of the crew on a ship for under budget

the meat in the mess is always pretty crap i was gonna say questionable but it's just rubbish i mean if you have the chicken it is gonna be dry if you have the beef it's going to be dry

it is really difficult to eat in the mess if you have dietary restrictions my friend for example is allergic to seafood my other friend is lactose intolerant

you'll find that when you come on board the combinations of food that you have are really bizarre and it's funny because you probably won't pay much attention to it usually

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Tell medical staff about dietary restrictions when you join so they can put it in your records.

✓Get friendly with the mess staff so they can help identify ingredients.

✓Bring or order protein powder if you are worried about getting enough protein from the meat.

✓Use suggestion boxes to advocate for better food labeling.
