The buffet line at 7 AM taught me the real secret to shore days
Last week on a Carnival cruise out of Miami, I hit the buffet at 7 AM to grab coffee before our excursion in Cozumel. I noticed this older couple, must have been in their 70s, sitting with just pastries and not touching the hot food. They told me they sail with a simple rule: never eat heavy before a port stop, because the tour bus always sits longer than you think and stomachs flip. I laughed it off, ate three plates of eggs and sausage, then spent 4 hours on a packed van to some ruins with a driver who loved potholes. Let me tell you, that ride changed my whole approach to breakfast on port days. Now I keep it light, maybe yogurt and toast, and save the big meal for when the ship sails at 5 PM. Has anyone else figured out their own pre-excursion eating routine the hard way?

Wait, you mean all those mornings I spent loading up on the breakfast bar before a tour were basically a setup for disaster? I always figured a full stomach was the way to go, but after one rough ride in Jamaica, I'm totally on board with the light breakfast plan now.
