Foods You Should NEVER Eat on a Cruise Ship

Cruises offer endless food options—but not everything is worth trying. Here are a few things even seasoned cruisers and crew often avoid:

• Sushi from the buffet — freshness isn’t always guaranteed.
• Room service eggs — usually pre-cooked and reheated.
• Soft-serve ice cream — machines may not be cleaned frequently.
• Uncovered salads — lots of foot traffic equals contamination risk.
• Foods left out during off-hours — cold dishes should stay cold, hot should stay hot.

Being smart about what you eat can save you from stomach trouble and keep your cruise enjoyable.
