I just went on a cruise late june, and I found the dining room food really good but they serve smaller european portions so unless you drink your calories you will be ok. The buffett really wasn't that great. They also had a huge salad bar.

I wouldn't worry too much about logging while on vacation. It's only a week, and you're not going to ruin anything by having a treat now and then. That said, since there's so many choices, just make sure you keep everything in moderation. You don't have to eat everything, and you don't have to eat all the time. I don't drink, so I don't have any advice for alcohol. But, I'd think that if you mostly stayed away from it, your tab at the end of the cruise will be smaller! Have a great time!

Remember, even if you eat 1000 calories over maintenance every single day you will only gain 2lb of fat. If you were losing 1lb/week, then that gives you 1500 calories/day over "normal" while on vacation. I bet that the majority of the weight you put on will not be fat unless you really pig out.

Eat and enjoy, wish I was coming with you, love cruising.
Remember you will probably put on 3-5 lb water weight. Don't panic when you get home; it drops off pretty fast.

Cheers, h.
