Food on the early cruises was awful... so how did it get so good? From specialty dining to 24/7 buffets, food is something that you can easily access on a cruise ship today. So, you might be wondering where all that produce is stored? Let’s go aboard to find out.

More from this video:
Every cruise ship contains vast spaces of refrigerated storage. These areas are generally located below the waterline and comprise a variety of different storage zones. There are also massive dry storage areas too. Visiting this space feels a little bit like an oversized supermarket or a big box store – with pallets of cereals, crisps, crackers, soft drinks, long life milks, tinned food, tea and coffee as just some of the examples of what you’ll find here.
