Walking the entire buffet before picking up a plate is one of the most useful things a cruiser can do, because the best stations — carving, made-to-order pasta, Indian, sushi — are almost never near the entrance, where most passengers stop and fill up first. The video walks through fourteen specific habits, covering when the rush hours hit (the hour before a port arrival and noon to half-past-one on excursion return days), why soap and water at the sink beats hand gel against norovirus, which high-touch items to avoid (shared condiment bottles, ice cream levers, anything people pick with their fingers), and how asking the cook behind the counter can surface gluten-free or allergy-friendly food that never appears on the counter. It also explains why the back terrace of the buffet — high up, windows on three sides, looking out over the wake — is often the best free view on the whole ship, a seat most passengers never find. #cruisebuffet #cruisetips #cruisehacks #firsttimecruiser #cruisevacation
