Foods to Stay Away From on Cruises

Condiments Left Unrefrigerated

Condiments that are left unrefrigerated, especially in buffet settings, can become breeding grounds for bacteria. Items like mayonnaise or tartar sauce are particularly susceptible. To avoid potential foodborne illness, choose single-serve packets or ask for fresh condiments from the kitchen. For a flavorful alternative, try using mustard, hot sauce, or vinegar, which are less prone to spoilage and still pack a punch. Choosing the right condiments can make a big difference in your cruise dining experience.

Unrefrigerated condiments can spoil. Opt for single-serve packets or safer options like mustard or hot sauce.
