On my last Royal Caribbean cruise aboard Star of the Seas, I stumbled onto a snack hack that completely changed how I eat on the pool deck. It starts at Basecamp, where I grabbed a basket of hot, crispy tater tots. Then I walked a few steps to El Loco Fresh, skipped the tacos, and headed straight for the toppings bar. Salsa, guacamole, jalapeños, and hot sauce turned my plain tots into spicy, loaded perfection all included in the cruise fare.
I didn’t stop there. For dessert, I used a plastic cup from El Loco Fresh at Sprinkles to get a much bigger, less messy soft serve. You can even take it back for a rum shot at the Cantina. These little hacks made my sea days even better have you discovered your own cruise food combos?
