How Cruise Ships Feed 6,000 People a Day Without Running Out of Food

How do cruise ships feed 6,000 people a day without running out of food? In this behind-the-scenes look at cruise ship food, we reveal how enormous cruise ships store, prepare and serve thousands of meals every single day while sailing miles from the nearest supermarket. From the massive food delivery on turnaround day to the hidden cruise ship kitchen and storage rooms below deck, you’ll see how food gets from the dock to your plate. We look at how cruise lines work out how much food passengers will eat, where all that food is stored, how cruise buffets stay stocked, and how thousands of meals can be cooked and served at the same time. You’ll also discover how a cruise ship never runs out of food, what happens when an ingredient starts getting low, how food safety is managed onboard, why cruise ship crew food can be different from passenger food, and what happens to all the food nobody eats. Feeding thousands of passengers at sea takes far more planning than most cruisers ever realise. Behind every plate is a huge operation involving food deliveries, refrigerated storerooms, chefs, bakers, waiters, dishwashers, inventory teams and crew working around the clock.
