Great suggestions! I love the little card to help the kitchen get you the things you need, and avoid the things you want! Love the content of this video!
I know you guys probably cruise a LOT. I go on a cruise 3 times in 2 years average. My weight is at my goal, and I get even lower at a lower weight before my cruise. I go off keto for that cruise but I don't go crazy. I will sample things, I don't drink beer all year but I will have a few on a cruise as well as mixed drinks. I know I could stay keto if I wanted to, but I am on vacation! And I find it easy to get back on keto and back into ketosis.
I completely understand where you are coming from there. Everybody is different and some can revert back to some carbs and enriched flour products while on the cruise but easily go back into low to medium levels of ketosis when they get home. Clear alcohols for mixed drinks, hopefully without the sugary juice mixers, should not damage your progress too much. I agree, you should stay away from the beers and excess wines. When Keto becomes a default lifestyle and not viewed as a kind of diet, the choice of "I'm on vacation" does not hold power any longer. It's a personal journey and you are 100% in charge! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and for watching! Keep up the healthily living!
Thank you for a great video. I've been on Keto for 16 years, and on several cruises during that time - the 1st few were very challenging in terms of finding out what I could eat (getting info about buffet items was nearly impossible). Now we're booked on our 1st cruise in about 5 years (Celebrity) - from what you describe things have gotten much better in general. I'm hopeful ;) the printed card is brilliant !
We have noticed that Celebrity will have many more clean options than other lines. There are still too many sugar options and carbs but you can find great olive oils and vinegar while also having the carvery and clean meats and cheeses. Use that card! The kitchen staff in the MDR seem to "get it" when you use that. Thanks for watching!
This was very helpful. Thank you for this. One of the best I've seen. I made a screenshot of your oil sensitivity list. I'll print and take it with me!
I am very glad that you got something out of this! Thanks for watching! here is a link for the allergy card drive.google.com/file/d/16l5Mds9jSKyAbqCflDVBiH8TGg6OcYPe/view?usp=sharing
I'm ketovore and going on 3 back-to-back cruises (same ship) in Drc 2024. These are excellent suggestions! I never thought about a cheese plate for dessert. Great idea. And I'll be creating my own "allergy" cards to use. Thanks again!
So glad it was helpful! Ordering from the main dining room or specialty dining is always good idea to order the day before. Good luck and the carvery in the buffet is always a good choice unless they added a sugary glaze to anything.
Found your video, this is my 9th x cruising , but from keto to carnivore, im worried and not as happy to imagined not to enjoy the food inside the ship, you both help me and think of sticking to my health!
I am glad that you found the video helpful! John has moved towards carnivore and we have had great luck with working with the main dining room waiter staff in order to preorder dinners the night before and explain how things should be prepared to meet his requirements of no processed seed oils (canola oil, etc.). He also does great with smoked salmon, bacon and sausage for breakfast either in the MDR or in the buffet. The carvery station in the buffet is your friend and most ships have a burger joint where he requests just the burgers prepared without the added seed oils on the grill. Check with the staff in the MDR and preorder. You may set some budget to upgrade your dinner with a steak from the specialty steakhouse if you do not find another option. Most cruise lines will have that upgrade option on the dinner menu. Making the meal cards to give the team showing what you prefer to eat does help a great deal. Good luck - just make sure you tell them what you need!
So glad it was helpful. We are considering doing an update to this. We have learned additional tips on how to speak to the crew regarding the food prep and ingredients. It has been a learning process and we find that the specialty restaurants are, of course, the best at accommodating sensitivities but the MDR can also be accommodating if you order a day ahead for each. You just have to be smart in the buffet. Thanks for sharing and for watching!
@@seemoreseascruises3791 I have plans for a cruise next week and two next year. An updated video would be fantastic! Also, are there differences between the cruise lines? Any insight into those differences would be valuable. Keto on!
Thank you guys! I have plans on going on a cruise in late November of 2023. And I am planning on this being a health resort stay. Eating healthy and lots of workouts. I plan to come back healthier than when I arrived. In the past I have lost weight when cruising and that’s my plan for the next trip. Thank you for all your advice! 🥰❣️
You can do this big time! There are many fresh options if you ASK for them and look for them. You do NOT have to consume highly processed crap on a cruise. There are so many healthy products onboard and go for the real foods, not the breaded or fried in inexpensive, inflammatory seed oils that will make you feel horrible. Be your own advocate and ask for the good olive oil, not the one that is mixed with canola oil.
Thanks so much! There are so many options to choose from and you need to be your own best advocate. If you advise the dining staff of any request they will do their best to comply. You can not go wrong with fresh, non-processed selections! Thanks for watching!
Glad it was helpful! I was just on MSC and they were heavy on the breads, fruits, pastries, pizza, pasta and had very little real foods. It was all very processed, enriched white flour manufactured options. They luckily had a carvery at the buffet with meat. Unfortunately it was normally ham with (I'm pretty confident) sugar added. LOL. Yes, it can be done but some cruise lines make it more difficult than others. Thanks so much for sharing and for watching!
Yes it does. Normally within one bite I can tell if it is cured bacon. I have noticed that most cruise ship bacon is the uncured since it is cheaper. Sometimes basic is better!
Glad it was helpful. There are always good options if you know where to look and how to ask for it. I realized that we forgot to say that if the main dining room does not have the cheese plate just head up to the buffet and grab exactly what you like. I love blue cheese and feta! Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for this video, Doug! I’m a new subscriber and new to the carnivore lifestyle and was concerned about how I was going to be able to stick with it on my upcoming cruise! After watching all your tips, I am now confident and excited that I will be successful. BTW, I also subscribed to John’s channel and did a sneak preview of his introductory video on his carnivore journey. I then scrolled to the bottom of his video playlist and watched a video called “Come Fly With Me”. My jaw dropped to the floor! Man, your husband can sing!!!! I am really looking forward to watching all of your’s, and now his, past videos!
Laura, I could not be more thrilled for you! If you have the information you can make it work anywhere! Good for you! Thank you so much for subscribing and for subscribing to John's channel. We have been wanting to do this for a while and I am so glad that you got something out of it! John has been singing for his entire adult life and enjoys throwing those videos out. We took a Virgin Voyages cruise and booked a karaoke studio for an hour and had a blast! Thanks for subscribing and for watching!
Thank you so much! I'm gluten intolerant and trying to cut out all inflammatory seed oils, on a keto diet. My 1st cruise and I have 4 more booked.... I was so sick and my ankles looked like I had elephantiasis from the food. They gave me Gluten free menu options everyday, but I'm. guessing it was the seed oils. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome! Just assume that everything on the buffet has seed oils. We learned that cruise lines use margarine often in place of butter (escargot on RCI) and the dressings for salads normally get their main ingredient from Canola Oil - find the olive oil and vinegar. All fried and sautéed options will have a very cheap seed oil as the base as well but if you are keto and gluten free you will not be having the flour or breading. The cheese plate and carvery section is your friend! Make sure you speak to the Maitre d' and wait staff on day one! Enjoy your upcoming cruises and keep up the good work!
You are so welcome! It's easy if you plan and communicate. They will take care of you. Best is to speak to the dining room the night before to make sure. Please check out John's channel since he is ketovore too! He has great daily vlogs. Thanks so much for watching and have a great time on Princess!!!!
Such good information. Seed/veggie oils are the worst thing someone could put in their diet. I believe it takes around 5-6 years to leave your body in full. The food industry makes us sick so we can the go to the doctor to take their poisons (one hand feeds the other).
It really is so destructive and until recently there was so little information about it. The food company links to big pharma is another completely different subject. Only the US and New Zealand allow direct to consumer advertising of prescription drugs on TV. Anyone tell me there is not a link to the standard American Diet and Pharmaceuticals. Do you follow John, The Carnivore Teacher 1965 on RUclips? I think you will enjoy his content.
I do not have any direct experience with gout but there are good choices everywhere and something for every dietary need. Depending on the vegetables, fruits, sugars and meats that someone prone to gout attacks should avoid, the Main Dining Room should easily accommodate you. Make sure that you speak with either the Maitre 'd on day 1 or your wait staff and inform them of your sensitivity. The buffet will also be a better area for you for lunch and dinner so that you can make the best selections for your specific situation. I hope that helps and thanks for watching!
Thank you for these tips! We are hoping to go on a cruise, but I didn’t know what to eat on low carb. What complicates things is that I can’t eat dairy, wheat or erythritol. I’m also a vegetarian. I love the idea of bringing a list of what I canning can’t eat. Have it all laid out. Much better than spending the week on the toilet.
Making a very clear and concise card to give the dining room on day 1 is very helpful. If you have a fixed dining time (same table and server team each night) you can preorder your meal for the next evening at the end of each meal. They will provide the allergy / sensitivity card to the chefs and they will make sure that you are taken care of. The buffet is a bit more challenging however, you know what you can tolerate and eat. Make sure if you are eating anything fried, stay away from the canola or vegetable oils since they are VERY inflammatory. I would suggest that 99% of fried items will be fried using those oils. You might want to bring a small container of pure monk fruit sweetener (not mixed with erythritol) if you require something sweet. You can add that to coffee and tea. Good luck and let me know if I can assist in booking that cruise. You can email me for planning and booking at contact@seemoresea.com. Thanks for watching!
@@judysbakeryandtestkitchen1654 Stevia works too but make sure to read those ingredient labels! I didn't realize for several weeks that many of the Stevia products are also mixed with erythritol. Good luck!
@@seemoreseascruises3791 I understand! I saw that with “Stevia In the raw.” But I am using either sweetleaf or a new naturals My tummy really tells me when I have goofed! I don’t wanna spend a whole week on a cruise in the toilet. I’ve been around this block before I’m dictating, so pardon that it’s not capitalized
I learned a lot from your and John's information. It may take a few cruises to ween myself off all the very tasty offerings around the ship, but the next cruise will be a start. Just how many carbs are in soft serve?
I'm glad that you got something out of it! There are so many choices on our cruises and so easy to try something new without knowing how it is prepared. It gets easier as you make the changes at home and then while at sea. As for the soft serve, a 1/2 cup has 19g of carbs with 18 grams of that coming from sugar! That doesn't even consider the cone! OUCH!
I looked at it seems that the link is not there - my apologies. I am traveling this week but I'll get the card from John and message you. Thanks for watching and letting me know!
My weakness in the buffet is the fruit bar. I'm a sucker for berries. Blue, Straw, Razz, and black. I will fill a bowl. Unfortunately sometimes they ruin them by adding sugar. The sugar kills the yummy tartness of the berries.
I understand that one! You could be grabbing many worse sweet items though. As fruits go, the berries are going to be the lowest in sugars with strawberries and blue berries being near the best. Just try not to fill the bowl! LOL. Thanks so much for sharing and for watching!
Sucerlose use to concern me but the amount used is so low because it is hundreds of times sweeter than sugar. Of course i use stevia, monkfruit, and allulose if possible.😊
Good for you! I prefer monk fruit or stevia but some people get headaches from stevia. John uses allulose if he desires a sweetener. Other sugar alcohols can really mess up your bowels - we have learned that through the years the hard way! Thanks for watching and for sharing!
That is actually a good idea. There are some very good olive oils that come in smaller, travel sized portions. I never see avocado slices on cruise ship buffets but sometimes the salad bar or station will have it. The closest thing is guacamole and you have to be careful with fillers and junk in that. Thanks so much for watching!
a small glass bottle is a good idea, i was going to decant it into a plastic bottle and tell them its body oil. They dont let you bring any fresh food etc on P&O pacific due to strict bio laws...im very worried that everything will be poor quality on board
Just suggesting, any food that you cook at home is processed. What you mistakenly call processed food is industrial food. You boil an egg, you have a processed egg.
I'm thrilled that you were able to read through my definition of processed food and embrace the message. Single ingredient foods without industrial additives are best.
The biggest reasons we avoid some of these food on a cruise such as industrialized, processed seed oils like canola oil is that they are very inflammatory and cause bloating and bowel issues. I don't enjoy feeling sick while cruising. Thanks for watching!
Keto is not "healthy". Nor is any diet fad. Ultimately, eating higher quality food, cleaned and prepared properly, is a good thing healthwise, but the ONLY diet that ever truly works in terms of managing weight is "calories in vs calories out". If you're looking to gain weight, be in a calorie surplus. If you're looking to lose weight, be in a calorie deficit. I've yet to meet the qualified dietician that approves of keto. And for good reason. I've witnessed some of the worst dietary mistakes from keto followers, mistakenly eating loads of fats and fatty foods. I have treated keto followers for coronary artery disease. Knowledge of metabolism and physiology is a must in understanding why this fad diet, and it is just that... A fad, is not a wise option. For the record, I am a medical professional with dual degrees in cardiopulmonary health and in bio physics. I am not a dietician however. But I know a lot of them! That said, you've offered good travel advice in the past. So kudos there. We can disagree, but let's disagree amicably. Ultimately, work with your own doctor and meet with a dietician to construct a healthy, well balanced diet that is maintainable long term... and exercise for crying out loud. Your heart will thank you.
You make some very good points and all well taken. The biggest problem with Keto (for many it is not a fad but a way of life) is that so many food suppliers have hopped into the movement so there is complete and total JUNK out there that consumers are buying. They are not reading labels and consuming highly processed crap that nobody should be eating. There are also many people saying that they are keto when they are eating dirty which is using highly manufactured, inflammatory junk fats and oils to meet their macros. This is highly unhealthy and is not sustainable. We eat only single ingredient foods whenever possible and read EVERY label. This includes fats, meats, vegetables and sweeteners. There are hundreds of sugar free options out there that are full of sugar (added sodium) and chemicals but just under another name for sugar. Companies list these as Keto and they could not be further from the truth. Single ingredient, non-processed real foods including fats is healthy and sustainable. Our labs have never been better and our doctor is 100% onboard. Yes, we can disagree amicably and I completely respect everything you pointed out. This country eats way too much processed carb junk which is the root cause of most of the medical problems due to inflammation and sugar. Thank you for watching my videos and as you have noticed, am sticking to cruise advise. I appreciate your comment and thank you for watching.
@@seemoreseascruises3791 thank you for reading, listening and disagreeing amicably. I love a good respectful debate. On a side note, let me also thank you for introducing your husband. I am the proud father of 3, and have an openly gay daughter. Our family attended an LGBTQ pride event in blueback square west htfd recently. My wife is a devout catholic who is slowly....learning.....that the world doesn't need hers or her church's permission to love and live freely. She is coming around to understand that fact. So thank you for also being courageous and sharing your own marriage. Best of wishes to you and your damned good looking husband. What a beard.....I wish I could grow it that full.
@@pullcarsmelly8051 Being open about who you are is a journey. I unfortunately have not always been in that mental space but so grateful that we both made it there. I too, come from a deeply catholic family but luckily I was supported even in the early days. I am so happy to hear that your daughter has support and allowed to follow her own true path. My mother was my "best man" at our wedding and that will always be special. Give your wife time and understanding and she hopefully will get there. There is a courage that comes with being your true self but it is so overshadowed by the freedom from self deprecation. BTW, I wish I could grow my beard full like that too - you should see how full it is now. You should watch some of our latest videos such as the Celebrity Equinox review. Great to chat with you and THANK YOU for sharing!
You are so WRONG ! Watch one of Medical Doctor Ken Berry’s videos. I have never been a fan of any fad diets but after being diagnosed with pre NAFLD You should see how my blood work actually improved after going on the ketogenic diet not to mention the loss of 28 lbs.

@@seemoreseascruises3791 Holy-Guacamole!!!!! And I thought the soft serve was nothing but chemicals. Check that one off the list. Thank you.
I'm from Indiana! Love the photo on your wall!
Go Hoosiers!
I thought you said there was a link to the "card" of ingredients do's and don'ts to give the staff. Where can I find this.
I paused and took a picture
I looked at it seems that the link is not there - my apologies. I am traveling this week but I'll get the card from John and message you. Thanks for watching and letting me know!
I'll still see if I can link it when I get back home.
Here is the link to his most recent card drive.google.com/file/d/16l5Mds9jSKyAbqCflDVBiH8TGg6OcYPe/view?usp=drive_link
My weakness in the buffet is the fruit bar. I'm a sucker for berries. Blue, Straw, Razz, and black. I will fill a bowl. Unfortunately sometimes they ruin them by adding sugar. The sugar kills the yummy tartness of the berries.
I understand that one! You could be grabbing many worse sweet items though. As fruits go, the berries are going to be the lowest in sugars with strawberries and blue berries being near the best. Just try not to fill the bowl! LOL. Thanks so much for sharing and for watching!
The code Johns channels is not working for me. Can you check it?
Here is the link to John's RUclips Channel www.youtube.com/@carbaddiction Thanks for watching!
It doesn't work for me either
Sucerlose use to concern me but the amount used is so low because it is hundreds of times sweeter than sugar. Of course i use stevia, monkfruit, and allulose if possible.😊
Good for you! I prefer monk fruit or stevia but some people get headaches from stevia. John uses allulose if he desires a sweetener. Other sugar alcohols can really mess up your bowels - we have learned that through the years the hard way! Thanks for watching and for sharing!
hmmmm...im going to try to smuggle avocados and olive oil onto the ship!!!!
That is actually a good idea. There are some very good olive oils that come in smaller, travel sized portions. I never see avocado slices on cruise ship buffets but sometimes the salad bar or station will have it. The closest thing is guacamole and you have to be careful with fillers and junk in that. Thanks so much for watching!
a small glass bottle is a good idea, i was going to decant it into a plastic bottle and tell them its body oil. They dont let you bring any fresh food etc on P&O pacific due to strict bio laws...im very worried that everything will be poor quality on board
a small 250ml bottle, that's a great idea!!!!
now i have to find something to put my apple cider vinegar in...@@seemoreseascruises3791
Just suggesting, any food that you cook at home is processed. What you mistakenly call processed food is industrial food. You boil an egg, you have a processed egg.
I'm thrilled that you were able to read through my definition of processed food and embrace the message. Single ingredient foods without industrial additives are best.
@@seemoreseascruises3791 Any food coming from a factory is industrial. Not just industrial additives.
Do they have any frozen yougert?
I don't think so. They have gelato near the cafe el bacio coffee shop.
Do they have low carb ice cream?
They have no sugar added ice cream at the buffet but most of the ice cream is sugar loaded unfortunately.
I had the escargot on celebrity. Thought it was all butter 😞margarine yuck!!
I know, right? All this time we were eating margarine!! Yuck for sure!
Who cares, live it up ur on a cruise lmao. Make up for it after if u feel u need to
The biggest reasons we avoid some of these food on a cruise such as industrialized, processed seed oils like canola oil is that they are very inflammatory and cause bloating and bowel issues. I don't enjoy feeling sick while cruising. Thanks for watching!
Keto is not "healthy". Nor is any diet fad. Ultimately, eating higher quality food, cleaned and prepared properly, is a good thing healthwise, but the ONLY diet that ever truly works in terms of managing weight is "calories in vs calories out". If you're looking to gain weight, be in a calorie surplus. If you're looking to lose weight, be in a calorie deficit. I've yet to meet the qualified dietician that approves of keto. And for good reason. I've witnessed some of the worst dietary mistakes from keto followers, mistakenly eating loads of fats and fatty foods. I have treated keto followers for coronary artery disease. Knowledge of metabolism and physiology is a must in understanding why this fad diet, and it is just that... A fad, is not a wise option. For the record, I am a medical professional with dual degrees in cardiopulmonary health and in bio physics. I am not a dietician however. But I know a lot of them! That said, you've offered good travel advice in the past. So kudos there. We can disagree, but let's disagree amicably. Ultimately, work with your own doctor and meet with a dietician to construct a healthy, well balanced diet that is maintainable long term... and exercise for crying out loud. Your heart will thank you.
You make some very good points and all well taken. The biggest problem with Keto (for many it is not a fad but a way of life) is that so many food suppliers have hopped into the movement so there is complete and total JUNK out there that consumers are buying. They are not reading labels and consuming highly processed crap that nobody should be eating. There are also many people saying that they are keto when they are eating dirty which is using highly manufactured, inflammatory junk fats and oils to meet their macros. This is highly unhealthy and is not sustainable. We eat only single ingredient foods whenever possible and read EVERY label. This includes fats, meats, vegetables and sweeteners. There are hundreds of sugar free options out there that are full of sugar (added sodium) and chemicals but just under another name for sugar. Companies list these as Keto and they could not be further from the truth. Single ingredient, non-processed real foods including fats is healthy and sustainable. Our labs have never been better and our doctor is 100% onboard. Yes, we can disagree amicably and I completely respect everything you pointed out. This country eats way too much processed carb junk which is the root cause of most of the medical problems due to inflammation and sugar. Thank you for watching my videos and as you have noticed, am sticking to cruise advise. I appreciate your comment and thank you for watching.
@@seemoreseascruises3791 thank you for reading, listening and disagreeing amicably. I love a good respectful debate. On a side note, let me also thank you for introducing your husband. I am the proud father of 3, and have an openly gay daughter. Our family attended an LGBTQ pride event in blueback square west htfd recently. My wife is a devout catholic who is slowly....learning.....that the world doesn't need hers or her church's permission to love and live freely. She is coming around to understand that fact. So thank you for also being courageous and sharing your own marriage. Best of wishes to you and your damned good looking husband. What a beard.....I wish I could grow it that full.
@@pullcarsmelly8051 Being open about who you are is a journey. I unfortunately have not always been in that mental space but so grateful that we both made it there. I too, come from a deeply catholic family but luckily I was supported even in the early days. I am so happy to hear that your daughter has support and allowed to follow her own true path. My mother was my "best man" at our wedding and that will always be special. Give your wife time and understanding and she hopefully will get there. There is a courage that comes with being your true self but it is so overshadowed by the freedom from self deprecation. BTW, I wish I could grow my beard full like that too - you should see how full it is now. You should watch some of our latest videos such as the Celebrity Equinox review. Great to chat with you and THANK YOU for sharing!
You are so WRONG ! Watch one of Medical Doctor Ken Berry’s videos. I have never been a fan of any fad diets but after being diagnosed with pre NAFLD You should see how my blood work actually improved after going on the ketogenic diet not to mention the loss of 28 lbs.
One ought to be THIN in order to make a video of this subject. Neither of you are on keto, obviously.
Thanks for sharing!
