Curious Cruise Ship Facts and Hacks Shared by Crew Members and Passengers

Some Sweet Cruise Ship Statistics

Cruise ships are veritable feasting grounds, with an astonishing quantity of food consumed during each voyage. Over a typical 7-day cruise, a large ship manages to devour a staggering 45,000 eggs, brew up 1,800 pounds of coffee, 20,000 ice cream cones (!) and consume a whopping 9,000 pounds of lettuce.

While pizza consumption isn’t specified, it’s safe to assume that it’s also a significant figure, considering the ship’s diverse culinary offerings. Despite the elimination of the midnight buffet on most cruise lines in recent years, these floating cities continue to satisfy passengers’ appetites with an abundance of delectable dishes, making dining a prominent highlight of the cruise experience.
