- Cruise ships are a foodie's heaven. There's something for every craving, whether it's late-night pizza, a juicy steak, seafood, or salad for those looking for a lighter option.
Even so, cruise lines aren't typically known for their high-quality food. While that's not to say you won't have delicious meals, not everything offered will be the same quality you would expect in fine-dining restaurants.
If you are someone with a sensitive stomach or simply want to avoid some of the worst options, here's a list of 5 foods you should never eat on a cruise.

Every restaurant in the US leaves ketchup and mustard on the counter
I was about to say I thought everywhere in public did this. 😂
I’m 71. I’m so glad this blogger was not my mother! 😂
This is a terrible and misleading video please give us better content 🙏🏾
She needs to step away from the crack pipe…lol
😂😂😂
I've been on this planet 55 years and have never put my ketchup or mustard in the refrigerator.
Right almost 90% of all restaurants I've been to both fast food and sit down has their condiments on the table......
I do put my ketchup in the fridge but not my mustard.
I always do I worked in plenty restaurants to know better
I started doing it because the mustard gets watery, and I don't like squirting water, it's disgusting.
I put both in the fridge
This is just silly. Never had any issues with any of these things. Ever!😂
I’m pretty sure you need to find out the correct info before presenting incorrect info🤔
Exactly! In the USA, at restaurants they leave out ketchup and mustard out on the table or in a public area. Never had an issue with a soft ice cream machine. Tap water being risky seems to be the only correct information 😂
I’ve already splurge by cruising. No need to add extra unnecessary costs to my vacation. Every penny I save will enable me to keep cruising.
Yea exactly. I spend "half" on each cruise and go on "twice" as many, as I would otherwise. Spend $4,000 on one 7-night cruise OR
go on two 7-night cruises at $2,000 each.
While tap water in poor countries is risky, the tap water on the ship is treated to be safe although it does have a chemical after taste. I will take a filter bottle or pitcher instead of having to buy bottled water on the ship. Agree, eggs on hot tray in buffet are lousy; I choose to get breakfast in the dining room on a sea day and the last morning.
Drinking tap water in U.S. is risky as well.
Condiments, which contain vinegar, do not need to be refrigerated, even at home. Maybe they shouldn't be out in the sun but people are way too obsessed with the condiments. Mayo, if homemade, does need refrigeration, due to eggs. Just use common sense, people.
It's that corn syrup in them that needs to go.
The ketchup and mustard tip is actually spot on. I've seen people take a bite of their hotdog and then add more condiments while touching the nozzle to their food. It's more the outside bacteria, not that the ketchup went bad, that causes stomach issues in some people. Kids are especially guilty of this. I saw one swipe the drippimg ice cream from a soft serve machine and stick their finger in their mouth and do it again. It was beyond disgusting and luckily a crew member saw it and shut down the machine for "cleaning".
Absolute nonsense. You need a course in food safety before you talk about these things.
Am I missing something here? Have been on many cruises and never heard of anyone ever having food poisoning from eating food on the ship. Norovirus yes and touching handles and serving utensils can be ify. I love the eggs every morning and yes the omelets are the best choice. Can't afford the extra in speciality dining. Just say'n we enjoy cruising and maybe we are just stupid lucky never got sick nor saw any problems with other passengers. Fully agree when off the ship------be careful what you eat or drink and always have wipes or something for your hands ----- don't bring something back to the ship your ship mates will not be happy.
Almost every cruise line does not charge extra to have breakfast in the main dining rooms.
On both of the Disney cruises I went on I got sick with a sinus infection probably because of passengers not washing hands. I went on a 15 day cruise last year on Viking and I didn’t get sick. The crew members made sure everyone washed their hands before they sit you at a table.
Some buffet still have self serve with ladles and serving spoons, handled by everybody.
Make sure you sanitise your hands after taking your food and before eating. Better still, sanitise your cutlery unless it is an individually wrapped disposable. Wipe down every knob and handle in your cabin as soon as you get on board, including the TV remote.
Condiment are served this way in fast food resturants. I figure if it passes health code , it is safe.
More likely to get food poisoning from the salad bar than from a ketchup from a pump. PH of 3.7 is very low.
If you eating salad on a cruise you have no business being there😅
This video is ridiculous. Don’t eat too many dinner rolls? Come on…
Omelets take too long and there's always a line. I'd rather wait for an omelet at the main dining room.
The food poisoning warnings are much more important than the other warnings, such as don't eat the scrambled eggs or don't eat the dinner rolls.
Stop spreading bs
Ketchup and Mustard don't need to be refrigerated unless you want it cold!
I am an infection control nurse. Like you, in the buffet, I wash my hands before dining, and after I have my food. I believe that the issue with the condiments, ice cream, etc., is that everyone does not wash their hands. It is difficult to change people’s mindset. Since the Civil War, Florence Nightingale and Clara Barton, have educated people on infection control. It's the 21st century, and people for some reason do not know, understand, or implement handwashing techniques.
I so agree. And as recent as covid we have all been educated but I still see people not washing their hands. I just don’t get it!!

In the 1980s, I had a patient post-operative. I heated her food, but first, she wanted the bedpan. I gave her the bedpan and had four paper towels for her. One paper towel to wet her hands, one paper towel with soap, one paper towel to rinse the soap off, and lastly a paper towel to dry her hands. She asked, ‘What is that for?’ I told her, I thought she might want to wash her hands before she ate. She said no. I threw the paper towels in the trash and set up her tray.
I left the room and found a wise nursing assistant. Mrs. Ellison, Mrs. Ellison, I cried out and told her what happened. Her reply. Honey, don't you know people think their own filth is clean? I never forgot.
That I'll never get..I've heard someone say "it comes from my own body"😮

We see it in restaurants all the time. People use the restroom, walk out of the stall, and do not wash their hands. Then they sit down and eat. People blow their noses and eat. I do not understand.
They dont wash hands because theyre either lazy, in a rush, and dont care, or come from another country where hygiene is not stressed much. I'm American.
The only case of verified food poisoning on a cruise, traced to cruise food (not port food) I could find was 1983, and it was from crème pastries…which you suggest.
When water ashore is suspect in addition to sticking to bottled water, don't have ice in drinks, or eat fruit from vendors that might have been washed in the local tap water.
Or have lettuce on your burger
I avoid the buffet like the plague. Too many people and yucky fingers.
Have you ever been to a cookout? Most condiments are outside
Touching unsanitized objects is a part of life, even on land.....Public doors, escalators, elevator buttons, supermarket trolleys, money in your wallet, ATM buttons, and and and and.... I don't overthink, because if i do I'll lock myself in my house 🤔🤨🙄
The condiments pumps items are sealed in a special bag, they are designed to be kept at room temp
I've watched people entering ship buffets and if the crew do not force them to wash or sanitize, most don't. I noticed about 75% do no wash or sanitize before touching things in the buffet. That said, after more than 30 cruises and lots of buffet time, I have never gotten sick.
I'm sure it was food poisoning after having ceviche which I love the first night out. I was so incredibly ill the next day only and slept most of the day when not throwing up. Was fine the next day, so I didn't self-report, but I stay away from iffy offerings.
ketchup and mustard are fine being out
This is a plug for specialty dining
So cry more.
@@davidfence6939😂🤣
Royal Caribbean ultimate dinning , you can actually eat at one venue and precede to go at a different venue before they close , or vice versa, we do this with Uzumi for wonderful late night sushi in our room ,
The egg product used is usually liquid eggs which is the same used for omelets. If you want "real" eggs, order fried or poached eggs. It's true that the liquid eggs have a strange texture when scrambled.
Condiments do not need to be refrigerated. I don’t know where you received your info. Mayo may also be left out.
Thank you Angie
Bruh these condiments have so many preservatives that they’re gonna keep for much longer than you think lmao 3:07
i can’t believe how f$cking assinnine this was was this for aliens 👽
I loved this video 🛄
Condiments aren’t suppose to be refrigerated 😂. I am gonna say with your northern accent you just don’t know darling 😂👏. Bless your heart.
I agree, Bless her heart, she doesn’t have a clue…
Ketchup and mustard are not a risk, and mayo uses pasturized eggs.
This started out telling you what not to eat, mostly poor advice. Then switches to specialty dining and room service. Huh?
Good to see that MSC discourages placing dirty dishes from room service in the hallway. That is disgusting.
Not to mention being a tripping hazard.
Interesting. It's a shame that the end of the pandemic saw many buffet-restaurants ditching their sanitiser bottles. I tend to get into the buffet as soon as it opens, to minimise the risk of infection.
They won't remove the video because it generates $
I had some pizza on a Karnival Kruise buffet. Got a monster stomach ache AND the 'dry heaves' about 6 hours later. The next day I was confined to my cabin where I hurled 3 times and the worst case of the 'runs' I ever had. The cruise from Hell!
I've seen crew filling condiments from large containers. Where these containers are stored if doubtful.
Soft serve ce cream doesn't have cream. It's emulsified palm oil filled with sugar.
Specially dining is expensive. Go for it, and thank you for subsidising my cruise. Along with those on excursions, 😂😂 gamblers and drinkers.
Along with agreeing with most of the other comments, this person hasn’t been on a cruise since Covid. None of these options exist.
Communal stuff.. Use a napkin to use the pumps.. Water on cruise ship is probably better than you have a home. Do agree with skipping water OFF the ship. I think eggs are more the liquid eggs maybe boiled in a bag.. I dont mind them. OMG dont worry about the rolls..
Ketchup, mustard, and bbq sauce are perfectly ok to sit out. They contain vinegar. Eggs are not powdered. They come in a bad already cracked for convenience. You should really check your facts before you put it out there!!!
Ive been on 17 cruises none of these issues have arisen on four different cruise lines, princess, Holland America, Royal Caribbean and celebrity. I think it’s a bit of a nervous Nellie attitude, they’re very very scrutinized on their hygiene practices. Poor hygiene practices will bar these cruise lines from being able to visit their main source of income, the US ports. Going to specialty is a waste of hard earned money. Why would you want to do that when you have the main dining room with four or five options at every meal, the buffet available always, not to mention snack fruit places like the pizzeria or the burger joint. Going to the special dining is a waste.
Vinegar in mustard and ketcup inhibits bacterial growth.
On silversea there was a person at the door pointing 👉 people to the washbin
😅😂😂. People wash ya damn hands!!
Hamburgers 🍔 is a junk food and there is a lots of it on the US based cruise 🛳 lines but the food is healthier on MSC.
So you recommend no ice cream at the same time RCCL decides to remove the ice cream machines from the pool area. Interesting.
One thing she right about the buffet , so many hands touching the stuff......Buffet never clean .
Needs some form of councilling
What a load of crap. I’ve had soft serve cones with no problems
Carnival charges after you have TWO entries in the dining room.
This is probably one of the most inaccurate videos I have seen on the subject of cruising. Speculative and inaccurate.
REFILLABLE WATER BOTTLE TO REFILL IT WITH WHAT------
I had yogurts on my first day of the cruise and had a stomach flu and diaharrea for a few days. I suspected the yogurts were kept at room temperature and never put back between the cruises.
These workers work very hard everyday ....They start at 6am and dont finished until 11pm .....Most of them fr diff country , 6 months on , 6 months off ...They dont get to see their family 6 months ....They dont make much money , but where they come fr , its alot for them ....but ..They happy that they have a job....Where they come fr , very poor and cant find job. I met some nice workers on the cruise....Most of them missed their family ...Some just have a baby and have to leave the baby at home and dont see them til 6 months.
I dont eat pizza, burgers or icecream on a ship. The pizza sucks, burgers not that great. And in Wisconsin we have custard ice cream sucks.
Ketchup and mustard have tons of salt and vinegar.
AND NEVER CRUISE CARNIVAL😂😂😂
Who made you the cruise food police? This is the most ridiculous video I’ve ever listened to.
Catsup, water ,eggs, ice cream ,dinner rolls??
We do all of these and are not dead yet.
Hope you did not get paid for this clickbait.
I’ve always shied away from the powdered eggs.
I think cruise food in general is mediocre. Royal Caribbean main dining room is an exception.
Interesting
Not everyone washes hands 😮
Give her a A FOR effort can we all get along
omg sorta stop we need germs
~😢~ Omg, Can't eat ANYTHING on a cruise..
Title: 5 *foods* NOT to eat on a cruise
Video: Don't drink the *water* while *not* on the cruise ship.
Soooo, it's not food and it's not even on the ship? Ok, got it!!
👍👍
Ummm… soft serve isn’t ice cream😂😂😊
Oh my. 🤦♀️
This video doesn’t have accurate information. 👎🏼
Okay Mom 😒😒😒
So much wrong with this content. 1. Ketchup (and other condiments) are shelf stable, meaning they do not have to be refrigerated. We refrigerate them at home because we use them so slowly over time. Cruise have a tremendous number of people they are serving, so the condiments change over quickly. Nobody is getting food poisoning from ketchup. 2. Ships aren't bringing in local water for you to drink. It's highly filtered and perfectly safe to drink water onboard a cruise ship. 3. I'll give you the eggs are better fresh. 4. Most cruise ships serve you at the ice cream machines for this very reason. Someone is usually stationed at each machine.
Must have an elevator problem
People who love hot sauce Will have hot sauce.
This is a cruise ship not your home. Just keep safe or unless you life on your own cruise ship and kept your stuff on the dining room table for your own use😮please be positive or die of food poisoning😅 😅😢😢take care thanks for the advise 🎉I can see people needs it who has never traveled on a ship... 🚢🛳️🫠🤢🤮🤢🤮🤧🤤🥵🥶Been there and nearly died😂 good chef fed me chicken soup for 2 days.. 🐔🐔🐔🍅🍅🍗🍗🤢😩🤔
Use a napkin when you have to touch any pump or lever or spoon or tong.?This is not rocket science! Again use a napkin to pick out your dinner rolls, your fruit etc
3 minutes of my life I will never get back- you are clueless - just stay home where you can control everything
I have never in my life eaten tap water. I didn't even know it was a food.
You're review is not correct. I like your videos but not this one because you're wrong. Cruise ships need to follow strict guidelines and besides, you do not have to refrigerate. You really should remove this video.
YALL SHE IS A GERMAPHOBIC IT DONT EVEN MAKE SENSE CUS SHE BASICALLY WAS EATIN AND DRINKING THE STUFF SHE WAS TALIKN ABT!!
Great video
Are people really paranoid about these things? Wow, talk about wasting time worrying about nothing.
To much talking before information is given
What a load of crap!
Bad video!
None of that food looks in any way appealing. Uurrgghhh.
I won,t need to watch another one of these .Poor info and too opinionated
