Got a cruise scheduled this winter? Between Turks and Caicos Beaches Booking, Silversea Cruises, Princess Cruises, and more, there are so many amazing options. Get ready for beautiful scenery, fun activities and excursions, and delicious food—but before you eat just anything, you should know that there are some foods to avoid. If you want to enjoy your vacation and not get sick, we recommend leaving these foods on the serving platters: 1. Sushi While sushi bars have great appeal, it is probably best to avoid the delicacy, especially when it comes to raw sushi. Sushi and other raw food items need to be kept at a temperature of 40 degrees or colder, and if it’s been sitting out at a buffet, it can be hard to maintain this temp. This makes sushi a breeding ground for bacteria which can make you very sick—so it’s best to avoid that California roll and opt for something else. 2. Food that isn’t very hot Buffets are one of the main attractions of dining on a cruise; however, it’s important to note that hot foods must be kept at a temperature of 140 degrees or higher to kill bacteria and be safe to consume.
