Belgian cuisine can be summed up as French-inspired cuisine in large-German quantities. We left Belgium with filled stomachs stuffed with chocolate, waffles, mussels, and fries. Who knew the combination of potatoes and seafood could be so scrumptious?

I wrote an earlier post about the pros and cons of Cruising. One of the pros was the abundance of food! Although the cost of drinks can add up quickly, the unlimited amount of food can be worth it for many. As great as the multiple dining experiences can be, the lack of local cuisine is what is missing from cruise cuisine. However, it doesn’t mean they still aren’t delicious, just different. I’ve heard varying accounts of cruise cuisine, but we were more than happy with our experience on the Carnival Elation.
The following are Gastrogasms from our Carnival Elation cruise to Cabo San Lucas on Spring Break, March 2010.
