What Do Crew Members Eat On Cruise Ships?

Would you eat this cruise ship food?

I heard food isn’t like this for all crew, only for higher class crew. I am going to be starting my first contract with Norwegian soon and I sure hope it looks like this. Happy crew makes for a happy ship! Plz read more

P.S I am now starting my 2nd contract everyone so please stop telling me it’s not like this. I know now, thank you!

He's a performer that's why he gets food like this

Yes this is what it was like when I worked on a cruise ship here in Scandinavia. 24/7 buffet in the staff area. I sneaked in my sister on one of my 2 week shifts and she lived like a king on board using my access card while I worked 18 hours a day. Good times

I cooked on a ship as a part of my education one semester. It was so much fun and enjoyable for crew morale that they offered me a job 3 different times. Even the Captain offered to write a personal reference. What a fond memory. 20 years ago and feels like yesterday. ;)

That’s not what the food looked like on the boat that I worked on, I use to bring groceries on with me because of how bad the food was on the ship or I ate out.

Holycrap! I did 4 years at NCL. Our food was NEVER even close to this.

Crew food varies from ship to ship and cruiseline to cruiseline. Yes this is standard fare for crew. Officers generally do have an officer mess but they are also allowed to eat in the guest buffet so they mostly do that (performers and other frontfacing jobs ie staff are also allowed to eat there). yes standard fare is rice, stewn, beans, salad, pasta, etc. most of the crew is asian so there is a lot of rice!

Dude that literally looks like a proper 5 star hotel buffet

Definitely not a buffet on Carnival. We didn't even get this as guest when I went on my first cruise early December.

This guy is hyping it up like it’s for all crew members. All of the perks he displays are for “entertainment class” and not the majority of workers.

I worked for a japanese shipping line, our food budget was 3$ per meal, it was nowhere like this. Everything was carefully measured out

[beautycirclepro]

Incredible! Even as an officer, you would not believe the cockroach-infested health hazards that we used to get served. Eat at your risk!

I worked on ships for 10 years.(1996-2006)..food was NOT like this at all..that looks awesome...

[UmairActorModel]

Royale Carribean workers/ former workers: did your food look like this? I recognize the sign on the glass

[chasingtheimagerob]

Salad bars like this must be my favorite thing so far. Imagine getting to eat like that everyday. I would be so happy. Salads r my comfort food.

The amount of food that goes to waste every night in these cruise ships is absurd.
