8 Foods You Should Avoid on a Cruise — and What to Eat Instead

Hot dogs, hamburgers, and other BBQ goodies

While you can find tons of upscale specialty restaurants specializing in gourmet dishes, the vast majority of cruise ships also have more casual options. This is even more common around lunchtime. These super simple yet tasty options are always available close to the poolside grills and other open-air areas of the ship.

For instance, if you want a hot dog, hamburger, grilled, or even fried chicken or other vegetarian alternatives, then you should be able to find them while also lounging on the ship’s top deck. The vast majority also come with a side of fries or even a simple loaf of bread. Then again, these super simple food ideas are fairly popular as they appeal to all types of people.
