    Crew food varies from ship to ship and cruiseline to cruiseline. Yes this is standard fare for crew. Officers generally do have an officer mess but they are also allowed to eat in the guest buffet so they mostly do that (performers and other frontfacing jobs ie staff are also allowed to eat there). yes standard fare is rice, stewn, beans, salad, pasta, etc. most of the crew is asian so there is a lot of rice!

    Cruise ships have an obscenely high food poisoning rate because of the temperatures/food served in these buffet-style arrangements, left out for long periods, inadequate waste disposal and conditions in the kitchens. Huge amounts of sugar and salt are used to try and offset the risk of the food spoiling. You might think this looks pretty but scratch beneath the surface... Also all of that fruit looks underripe.
