Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes to prepare your food on a cruise ship? Harr Travel was invited to check out how Oceania’s “finest cuisine at sea” is prepared.
Oceania is famous for preparing everything from scratch EVERY DAY! Every stock, every bread roll, every dish, every pasta dish, every day! This requires amazing amounts of organization, and of course extremely talented bakers, cooks, and great leadership.
FUN FACT: the only two things that aren’t made every day are potato chips and english muffins. This is simply because they were unhappy with consistency issues and wanted them to be uniform across the fleet.
Here is a little more about the culinary offerings by Oceania Cruise Line.
