Food The days of boring cruise ship buffets are long gone (don’t worry, you’ll find the buffets excellent) as cruise lines finely hone and innovate their cuisines. You’ll find celebrity chefs the likes of Jacques Pépin teaching a cooking course and Luke Nguyen leading you on his must-do culinary tour exploring the flavours of Saigon. Still peckish? There’s Jamie’s Italian onboard Royal Caribbean ships, Curtis Stone on Princess Cruises and Nobu Matsuhisa on Crystal Cruises. As for raising the bars, Penfolds and Johnnie Walker have watering holes on Dream Cruises ships, and Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises have robots in the drinks mix.
