How The World's Largest Cruise Ship Makes 30,000 Meals Every Day

I’ve never been on a cruise but these people have earned my respect

These guys don’t get the respect they deserve

I can not imagine the amount of seamless coordination it takes to keep an operation like this running. So much respect to all of the chefs and staff!

Huge respect to these people who arrange all this food. Amazing.

This could be a reality tv show.

I went on a Make A Wish trip on the Disney’s Dream cruise and the main chef in charge of all of food came to my table to make me my own menu due to my food restrictions from cancer. It was amazing!

This is why even if a server gets my order wrong, I've never complained (no matter how bad my day is) because some of my family members are chefs and cooks and I know that their work is very hard and demanding. Respect people who work in the service industry, most of us cannot do what they do on a daily.

Just finished my 7 day eastern caribbean cruise of symphony of the seas ( this ship), and was blown away by the variety of meals, whether it be the hooked seafood restaurant, jaimes italian, chops steakhouse, or the included buffet / main dining, the attention to detail in every single meal was extraordinary. I suspected tyhe type of operation needed to pull something like that off, but had no idea until watching this video just how extensive it was! So much respect for the hardworking chefs on board! If you are planning on going on an oasis class ship, I highly recommend the solarium bistro & johnny rockets!

I respect people who “recycle “ veggies and food about to expire or ripen. Much respect

They're literally importing an entire grocery store in this ship every week That must be a logistic nightmare

My dad served 30 years in the navy and retired in 1973. My wife & I had been on so many cruises. I tried my best for 30+ years to get him & my mom to join us on a cruise with Royal Caribbean. After 30 years in the navy he was not about to ever step foot on another ship! Finally I told my dad, hey they are not going to make you work on this ship... Sadly I was never able to talk him into it. Shalom

Some of the BEST food I've ever had, has been on cruise ship. Absolutely incredible.

I've been on a Royal Caribbean cruise and all I've done was eat mountains of food. This video is really eye opening.

i went on a cruise this summer that passed. and the staff was so attentive and friendly despite the loads of sloppy drunk , impatient people. (even though they weren’t all like that) but it really broke my heart that one of the staff had said to us he works half the year on the cruise traveling and sends money home to his family in Europe and can only see them for a couple months of the year . and you would’ve never guessed that bc he serviced to us so happy and was very kind.

The food I had on my cruise was awesome. Every evening dinner was delicious. We were assigned to the same table every night, so we sat with the same family and had the same wait staff. We all had a wonderful time, and the wait staff was so great. They were genuinely so nice and worked so hard. God bless them.

The logistics here is mind boggling. Mad respect for these folks.

A cruise ship filled with spices and rum: 1700s pirates: O_O

The fact that everything is mostly fresh and hand made and not frozen or prepackaged. Insane. I mean, they were making pasta from scratch for thousands of people. Wut?!

Cruise Ships are one of the worlds most fascinating modern marvels. Kudos to every worker aboard!

As a chef I appreciate the culinary art an hope they are being paid properly for their service
