I’mSpencer, and I love cruises.
Okay, now onto the food!
1.In total, 180 tons of food supplies are loaded onto the ship for every weeklong voyage.
Below is what some of that food looks like when stored on the lower decks.
2.They also load about 50 tons of beverages onto the ship.
This includes over 16,000 bottles of wine and champagne, along with upwards of 120,000 bottles of beer.
4.But if coffee is more your style then don’t worry.
They serve about 6,000 cups of regular coffee each day.
And that’s not even counting cappuccinos, espressos, iced coffees, and so on.
In other words, a typical seven-day voyage can serve upwards of 70,000 meals.
6.And that means the machinery in the galleys (i.e.
the cooking areas) is absolutely massive.
For reference, I’m 5'11" (a real 5'11", not a Tinder 5'11").
This means that the galleys basically have to cook for 1,500 guests at a time during each dinner service.
8.Believe it or not, all of the pastries and desserts are made from scratch too.
Below are some photos I took to show what that process looks like.
This means the ship has to go through a lottttt of eggs and milk.
To be exact, 3,900 dozens of eggs and 1,700 gallons of milk are stocked for each seven-day period.
10.Cruises go through a lot of meat and fish too.
About 30 tons of meat and 15 tons of seafood are loaded onto the ship every single week.
11.But if you’re a vegetarian or a vegan then you shouldn’t worry.
Exactly 28 tons of vegetables are brought on board each week.
In fact, guests consume over 2,200 pounds of fresh salad alone in that same time period.
12.Of the 6,000 passengers on board, about 4,300 are guests and 1,600 are crewmembers.

different galleys on board.
For example, there are 15 biodigesters to help eliminate food waste.
Yes, this room smelled as bad as you think it did.
The water is then filtered, which makes it safe for everything from drinking to showering.
