National Plan a Cruise Month
In honor of National Plan a Cruise Month let's take a look at dining at sea. Depending on your food requirements, you may select one cruise line or itinerary over another.
What's Your
Favorite Food
on a Cruise
Whether you have cruised before or not, I'm sure you are aware that there's plenty of great food to be had on a cruise ship. The first thing you'll find when you get onboard is that your cabin is not ready, but don't worry, dining venues are open and ready to serve you. But that is just the beginning of what lies ahead. We'll take you on a culinary journey onboard several cruise ships over several posts. If you can't wait, we've posted some similar stories previously as well.
Myth #4 – All There is to do is Eat – I’ll Gain Weight
While it is true that there are several dining options on every cruise, we've examined this myth about nothing to do but eat previously. Now, let's focus on the second part of that myth - that you'll gain weight.
It is possible that you could gain weight on a cruise, but if so, that will not be the cruise line's fault. There are healthy menu options on the main dining menus and while not every venue serves food for the health conscious, there are plenty of options for you to chose from. In addition, there are full service health and fitness facilities on each ship so that you can continue your exercise routine.
One of the things the cruise line pays close attention to are any dietary requirements of their passengers.
We took this picture during a galley tour on Azamara Journey. The special requests consist of some religious requests, because it was during Jewish holidays, and also some specific ingredients that needed to be avoided for another passenger.
Be sure to let you cruise specialist know if you do have any special requirements so that it can be noted on your reservation and advance preparations can be made if necessary.

Le Petit Chef ™ offered on Celebrity Cruises® is simply one of the most unique dining events in the world. Join me on Celebrity Edge, as these tiny chefs prepare a meal at my table, to celebrate my birthday.
Since the pandemic lockdown in March 2020, you may have been missing dining at your favorite restaurants. As restaurants reopened, you may have visited your favorites, or even tried some new ones to support your local businesses.
On a cruise ship, you have the possibility of frequenting your favorites and also trying new ones. If you don't like something you ordered, the wait staff will gladly bring you something else. So, eat your favorite foods, or find some new favorites while cruising.
