Eight things to never eat on a cruise ship

[Pilot70D]

Or at least that is the title of the following article which appeared on MSN today. It seems that we have all (or almost all) of us have been eating the wrong types of foods while cruising.

 

Unfortunately about the only thing not on their list of no-no's is beer and ice cream. Hmmmmmmm, come to think of it maybe the ice cream isn't so good for you either.

 

At any rate here is a link to the article. Please try not too laugh too hard while reading it:

Everybody enjoy that next cruise and the food on it as well.

:D:):D:D

Wow.... What's left?

[CILCIANRQTS]

So, avoid just about EVERYTHING!!

No thank you.

There is so much to love about this article. I especially like the part where it inexplicably switches from foods to avoid to foods to consume and then BACK AGAIN to foods you should avoid. :cool:

Beer? What's wrong with beer? I think most people cruise FOR those items!!!!

We are booked on the upcoming Silhouette TA cruise leaving Rome on October 31st. We will pack and bring along with us two jars of peanut butter and one jar of jelly!!!!!!

:D:D:rolleyes::D:D

Just another in a long line of absurdly concocted articles about cruising. Can't believe that somebody actually gets paid to write the stuff. Where can I sign up? The article could be renamed 8 Foods to Avoid in a Restaurant. What a load of irrelevant malarky.

Better make sure it is low-fat peanut butter and jelly with no added sugar!!

Oh, and you should probably avoid the bread, too. Never can be too sure about gluten. ;)

Maybe I should nibble on the bow or a lifeboat instead?

I didn't laugh at all while reading it.......I think the writer is just

stupid:rolleyes:......just my opinion.

[CHEZMARYLOU]

I guess the cruise lines should save on fresh produce and lean protein and just serve processed, out of the box foods, Kraft mac & cheese, Dinty Moore Beef Stew, etc. I am sure there are more but since I don't buy box foods I can't think of any.

Can't be good for you.

Canned green beans and creamed corn are sure going to taste great on our next cruise.

[crazee4cruzin]

Ummm...I think I'll take my chances but thanks.🍹

Forgot about those. How about canned peas?

No, you are right! The writer is stupid.

[trenter33]

The pictures look so delicious, now I'm craving lobster and steak shish kebabs from a cruise ship.

[dread_pirate]

Funny thing is, I don't think I've ever had a piece of beef cooked to less than medium, usually medium well (even when I order medium rare!). Also never received undercooked poultry; usually it's dry.

[stratixman]

Bread? Now you got me really worried. Was that Bleu Cheese or moldy white bread I ate at the Captains Club reception on my last cruise?!!!!!

I believe in living dangerously. Bring it!

 

And yes, this was an absolutely ridiculous and poorly written article.

[Fish Lover]

Uh oh...canned foods have too much salt.

[jayoldschool]

What a ridiculous article. I'm sure we've all noticed cooks at the grill use a meat thermometer to ensure that chicken is cooked properly.

 

if the ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise looks like it has been sitting out for a couple hours, you want to avoid it. Lack of refrigeration and warm temperatures cause bacteria to form.

 

Ketchup and mustard do not need to be refrigerated.

Can't do that, someone might have a peanut allergy and to the inevitable poster I know they are serious.

 

I think Lois is half right, it is stupid but it is also funny....
