On Wednesday afternoon we had a galley tour. There was a detailed introduction from the
head of food and beverage on the ship and he also introduced us to various top members of
the team.
Then we went off into the galley. That part lasted barely 10 minutes and what
we saw was a pale imitation of the much superior Queen Mary 2 galley tour that we saw in 2014. To see that, go

and scroll down a little.
The ship has a capacity of 2850 passengers and 1500 crew and
they did give us a sheet to say what was consumed on a 7-night cruise. Just to give you a taster of that –
- 14542lbs of beef – yes, that’s 6⅟2 tons!
- 32652lbs of fresh fruit – and that’s over 14⅟2 tons!
- 12000 fresh eggs
- 35000 litres of beer
- 12652lbs of fish – more than 5⅟2 tons
- 48659lbs of fresh vegetables – nearly 22 tons
- 76540 litres of milk
- 19000 tea bags
- and 12450 bottles of wine
We're on a 12-night cruise, so your homework tonight is to work out what stocks of the above were needed for our cruise! Answers in the comments box, please!
