The world’s largest cruise prepares almost 30,000 meals a day—a report released by Business Insider. The cruise ship carries 6600 passengers who travel to various places across the world. Cruise ships have good management to make sure all the traveling members are okay with the service available. Ranging from food to private rooms etc. Everything is always perfect unless otherwise.

24/7 Operations in the Kitchen

According to Allan Gentile, kitchens are always open 24/7 because people eat at different times. We have turnaround chefs when others get tired. Preparations of food start from morning to evening. Then, a few chefs will remain to prepare midnight light meals. This ensures they cater to any individual since the cruise ship carries people from a different genre.

A budget of 1 million is done daily, according to Jaret de Silver, the inventor Manager. Loading of food into the ship takes place on Saturday, a busy day. Large tracks carry the food from factories and companies to deliver it on time. They have various specific stations where they stop to receive raw food. There are calculations to ensure mismanagement of funds when buying food, a report by Business Insider.

The budget varies daily. We have specific days when kids will be more in number. On such a day, it means a lot of snacks with more chicken fingers. When adults number super pass the children, then the main meal has to be more. The director is always keen on calculating the daily food from the store to the kitchen to avoid wastage.

How Storage of Food in a cruise ship is done

The cruise ship has 20 storerooms for specific foods. Preservation of food in various r regions will prevent the fresh food from going bad. Ice cream and other snacks will go to 6 reserved freezers. Vegetables and fruits have to be stored in specific areas where it’s easy to access them. The long-term foodstuffs like cereals don’t have many problems; hence they can be stored in underground tunnels inside the ship. They have elevators that get the food whenever it’s in demand.
