Thank you TimmyHairtrigger for the wonderfully creative idea of a virtual LV cruise for those of us wishing we were in a warmer climate this winter. I told you I’d be at the buffet!! :) I’ve never been on a cruise, but that’s not to say that I’ll never go on a cruise. I know for a fact that the trouble spot for me will be the magnificent buffets of which there always seems to be one open.
Here is a one week partial grocery list for one of the Royal Caribbean's cruise ships that carries approximately 4300 passengers and crew. Food is brought aboard the ship before leaving port and supplies are replenished as necessary at the individual ports that the ship stops at.
