New Yorker article on cruise ship dining

The New Yorker does a food issue every November and this year they include a piece on the state of cruise ship cuisine : http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/11/03/floating-feasts

It's set on the Oasis but of course covers more general topics as well. He does start out snarky but the behind the scenes detail is interesting.

(Apologies if my search missed an active thread.)

Interesting. Thanks for the link

That was fascinating!

Thanks for the link. Very interesting!

That was really interesting.

I thought the part about the hand sanitizer, Purell, not being just the ordinary one, but a special formula especially for cruise ships, hospitals etc. a very interesting bit of info. Next time a hand sanitizer thread gets going, and one will, this would be something to add to the discussion. :)

Thanks for the link. :)

Thanks .... Enjoyed!

Loved the cartoon: The presentation is dreadful! :D

Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the link - interesting article. We just returned from a Princess cruise and went on the Ultimate Ship Tour where we spent time in the galley and food storage areas so I've seen some of the things he talked about (although on a smaller scale than the Oasis).

Very interesting and quite amazing to think of the amounts of food!

Another appreciative reader, thanks.
