Creator's Key Takeaways

after dozens of cruises I've learned quite a few things about food on the cruise that frankly I wish that I knew before I sail for the first time

the dining room it's the most popular spot for dinners on the ship and literally thousands of people will eat there each night

I wish that I could tell you which dishes tend to be hits and which tend to be misses but honestly I haven't found a pattern just yet

you can go ahead and order multiple dishes that's no problem

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Order multiple dishes in the dining room to try different things
βœ“Work in at least one stop at a specialty restaurant during your cruise
βœ“Mix up eating at other spots on board to avoid buffet fatigue
βœ“Make reservations for specialty restaurants early in the cruise
βœ“Bring your favorite prepackaged snacks on board
βœ“Take food from the buffet to eat elsewhere on the ship

When it comes to cruising, the food is arguably as big a deal as the ports of call, the pool, or the shows onboard. While you're on the ship, you'll eat three meals a day -- if not more -- onboard while having a dozen or more options to choose from.
