Diamond Princess


Breakfast aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Alaska's Inner Passage.

Some factoids about eating aboard the ship:
  • There are five dining rooms in addition to the infamous, 24-hour Horizon Court buffet, as well as "casual poolside dining," where Trident Grill serves up hamburgers and fries and Prego's Pizzeria throws 600 pies a day in the oven.
  • Still hungry? Hunt for the warm, fresh, soft-baked cookies served daily.
  • Still lazy? The complimentary fruit, tea and OJ is delivered to the staterooms every morning.
  • In a day, the ship prepares 16,000 meals in the galley.
  • In a 7-week cruise, the ship cracks 38,354 eggs and serves up 920 kg of shrimp, 6,691 kg of beef, 700 kg of king crab legs, 548 kg of lobster and 600 kg of pasta.
