Hey, Ey, Ey, Ey!

Part 6 – Dining
(a.k.a. Seven Days of Food Coma)

Narrator Voice:

“Ahh yes… the dining schedule. A carefully curated week of indulgence. Each night, a new restaurant. Each day, a new elastic-waistline challenge. Best of all? The Blissfits have already paid up! All specialty dining is covered. So dig in without looking at the menu like there’s math involved.”

Narrator Voice (grand closing):

🍿 Snack Strategy (Surviving Between Feasts)

  • Carry a snack stash in your bag — granola bars, nuts, maybe one of those fancy Blissfits treat-delivery snacks (but don’t hoard them all!). Especially useful when there’s a long wait between dinner and bedtime.
  • Late-night room service wins — keep the cruise card handy, check room service menu at weird hours. Sometimes that warm chocolate cake or ice cream becomes heroic.
  • Mid-evening buffet sneak — even after the main dinner hours, buffets like Garden Café and similar often have leftovers or smaller spread open. If you’re roaming past 9 p.m., peek in.
  • Coffee & contraband — that coffee maker you can request in your room? Use it. One quiet espresso shot can be lifesaving during early morning excursions.
  • Share wisely — specialty restaurants often have big portions. Order differently than your tablemates and share, so you can try more without exploding.
  • Hydration as a snack — fruit platters, waters, juice. Keeps you from over-ordering salty stuff just because you’re “hungry.”
