Do you eat more...

[Sat1]

When on a cruise, than at home? I do, as a widower, nice to have all cruise meals, plus no household chores. :)

Unfortunately, yes.

[jewel825]

Absolutely!

[kirian]

Oh my... yes I do!!!!

[sandthrush]

Definitely eat more, but also we move around a lot more, so when we get home, any weight gained comes off easily.

[trev71]

Oh yeah I eat way more. normally I have more sweets then anything

[readytolose]

Unfortunately, Yes, we eat more. We don't tend to eat dessert at home except for special occasions. On a cruise we eat it every night. Why? Because it's there and we can! :D

 

We also tend to snack between meals on a cruise which we never do at home!

[debshomespun]

Yes! I eat healthier, but more! Breakfast is fruits, lunch is salads and dessert, dinner is appetizer, salad, entree and dessert. At home, I eat junk food, but also fruits and vegetables, but harder to get at home. Eat in between meals on a cruise too. Like the others said, cuz it is there!!

 

Best cruise was our 30 day, and I only gained 3 lbs! I was VERY disciplined on this one!!

[QTPieTrader]

Do I eat more on a cruise than when at home..?

 

Oh, goodness gracious...

 

YES!

 

 

QTPie : :cool:

[EbayCruiser]

Yes, we eat more!! On our worst cruise (food wise), we still gained 5 lbs.

[Guest maddycat]

Yes I eat more but I'm also much more active.

[hollon]

YES! and I don't even feel bad about it :)

[cb at sea]

I definitely eat more breakfast! At home, it's usually yogurt....I do eggs/fixings every day on a cruise!

We only have 1 cruise under our belt, wife ate pretty much the same. I probably ate a bit more. For us it was the frozen drinks where we picked up our extra calories. I think I had baked salmon and salad at least 2 nights in the WJ, but also hit up the bread pudding and ice cream for desert. I have dropped over 100lbs over the last 2 years and even though it's available I just have no desire to gorge myself. That big NY strip in chops probably didn't help either.

[freeon]

Yes. For me it's part of the vacation. A vacation from eating healthy the rest of the year.

[bplazo]

Yes, I do try to work out some at the gym or take the stairs so I do not gain to much weight.

 

I have read several complaints where people who thought that the food was so bad that they did not eat much and lost weight.

I can't eat more, I eat differently....for sure. Even at home, I eat every two hours or so; but it is a yogurt or a granola bar, or a salad; on the ship, if there are more unhealthy things to eat and 'prepared already for me' I am there.

 

During the day at home, I wouldn't think of having a large plate for lunch with heavy starches....too busy and I don't have the time to make it. On the ship...its there....I order it or visit the WJ for an afternoon snack of coffee and cookies/cake and frozen treat.

 

I also walk/exercise more.....so the extra calories don't seem to add up enough to matter. We are not big drinkers and those calories add up even more....but not for us.

[OCruisers]

In the minority it seems but I don't eat any more or less than I do at home.

We don't eat much more but with beer at the solarium and drinks in the Diamond lounge we drink much more. Before our last cruise I lost 90lbs and was afraid that I would gain weight on the cruise. We decided to NEVER step on the elevators and also exercise every day, neither my wife or I gained any weight.

[tm3750]

We walk two miles every morning and eat the rest of the day!!! We do eat more on a cruise.

Yes but we walk more. At home the fridge is close. On a ship the nearest eating venue is small trek.

[Trainman-2]

You know from my photos that I love to eat!

 

On our recent 10 night cruise to Bermuda on the Vision of the Seas I only gained 4 pounds.

 

I attribute this to having to leave our cabin and walk up to the smoking area on the pool deck. :eek:

I eat less. I used to joke that if I wanted to lose 5 pounds, I'd just go on a cruise.

[beckinoz]

I definitely ate way more than I do at home but moved much more and funnily enough drank less than I would at home. I actually lost 2kg (4.4 pound) on our 9 night cruise :D

[kleo30]

Not a whole lot more, but much differently than I do at home. I do, however, drink more than I usually do.
