According to an article published in Express UK, cruise ship experts have revealed a trick to bagging the best food onboard the ship.
The secret trick
Cruise ship holidays are made all the more attractive by the variety of food and leisure offerings onboard. These cater to everyone from those with a sweet tooth or savory craving, from snacks to full-blown three-course meals.
For some restaurants, their offering is so attractive they are sometimes in high demand. This means passengers have to book a table in advance in order to secure their dining choice.
Get the best food by making friends
If passengers are strategic and make friends with Front of House, it could hugely improve their holiday experience.
This is because the main dining room menus are planned for the week, and the purser’s desk often has access to those menus. Ask to see them so you can decide which nights are less appealing and which you don’t want to miss, and plan your cruise accordingly.
Ask and it shall be given
Meanwhile, for the first meal onboard, experts advise: “On embarkation day, most people head straight to the buffet to have lunch and wait for their cabins to open. It’s a mob scene. But many cruise ships have alternative venues open – the main dining room or a mini-buffet in the solarium or atrium area. Ask a crew member or check your daily newsletter to find an alternative for a calmer first meal.”
They further added, “For example, on Princess Cruises, the International Cafe, Pizzeria and Grill also are open; on Royal Caribbean ships, Sorrento’s, the Solarium and Park Cafes, Giovanni’s Table, Cafe Promenade and Starbucks are open on the afternoon of embarkation.”
