Let's take a cruise, but only if we are constipated...

I heard the food is great though, but there are lots of obese people.
On a Carnival boat, the food is like you get at a Carnival, plenty of
it but not that great.
All I can say about the obese people is one of the "emergencies" is
that the elevators stopped working. There are 8-12 foot wide stair
cases throughout the ship but most of these lard asses are waiting for
the elevator, just to go up one deck.
We have a rule on a cruise, never use the elevator. There is too much
eating and not enough exercise the way it is.
I don't see how the food on a massive "for the masses" ship could be
"great," considering how many diners there are at each sitting, how
significant the preparation has to be, and how much of it has to be done
ahead of time.
It's just a lot of food, prepared "en masse," sort of like the meals at
the big hotels in Las Vegas.
One of the dinner menus from a Disney cruise line looks suspiciously
like preprepared microwaved entrees right from the freezer:
Slowly Braised Lamb Shank with a Creamy Polenta and Portobello
Mushroom in a Red Wine Sauce
Three-Cheese Lobster Macaroni Lobster Meat, Gruyère, and Cheddar
Cheese Sauce tossed with Tubular Pasta and topped with a Parmesan Wafer
Porcini Mushroom-Stuffed Pasta in a Vegetable Broth topped with
Watercress, Shaved Parmesan Cheese, and Paprika Oil Drizzle
"Triton's" Seared Sea Bass with a Mushroom Herb Risotto, Sweet
Onion Marmalade, and garnished with a Potato Crisp
Grilled Marinated Tofu, Roasted Zucchini, Eggplant, and Red Peppers
on Israeli Couscous with a Lime-Cilantro Sauce
Crispy Roasted Duck Breast with Braised Napa Cabbage and Potato
Cake, with Pomegranate Jus
Grilled Farm-Raised Chicken Breast Green Asparagus, Pineapple, and
Raisin Barley with Herb-Lemon Jus Grilled Beef Tenderloin on Olive-Oil
Smashed Potatoes, Bacon-wrapped Green Beans, and Tamarind-Barbecue
Reduction
I dunno, it just doesn't seem like the fare at a decent landside
restaurant, like, oh:
La côte de veau grillée, légumes saisonniers et champignons sauvages
Beans make me fart.
What else you got?
