[Going on my 26th and 27th cruises before Christmas.]
How many pounds have you packed on over the years on cruises with their endless dining experiences?
You must believe me, since I have lied only to new girl friends in the past.
The first cruise I did way back in 1988, was a 7 day Caribbean on Regent Sea ship operated by Regency cruises. I thought I had died and gone to heaven! Unlimited marvelous food from dawn to midnight! I packed on 9 lbs in 7 days!
But ever since, I learned to eat mostly seafood and stay away from too many deserts and walk a lot, so I never gain more than 3 lbs on 7 day cruises. Actually the gain is mostly muscles due to walking several miles a day. My next cruise is on Oasis of the Seas, which is very large. Walking around the ship on the promenade deck twice = 1 mile! The muscles gained are easy to lose after returning home and be forced to eat home cooking.
