Description

Save $4,000 On Your Next Cruise By Learning The Rules Cruise Lines Never Explain: https://www.theseasonedcruiser.com 15 Things I'd Never Eat After 31 Years Working On Cruise Ships Leafy greens at a cruise ship buffet are the most common single food behind norovirus outbreaks, according to health regulators, because hundreds of hands reach into a self-service station all day and nothing ever cooks what lands on those leaves. The same logic applies to raw oysters on melting ice, soft cheeses held out for hours on the same serving fork, and scrambled eggs kept warm in a steam tray since early morning. Several of the fifteen items covered here are not about food safety at all but about unexpected charges: the colorful cocktail handed out at the gangway may not be covered by a drinks package, certain dishes on the main dining room menu carry a small symbol and an extra fee, and the bottles of water sitting on your cabin desk can bill your account the moment you move them. #cruiseship #cruisefood #foodsafety #cruiseadvice #cruisetravel
