With a nearly unfathomable number of dining options at sea, you can pretty much eat around the clock — and we wanted to know just how many cruisers actually do. So, whether you order one of everything on the menu or strive to maintain your girlish figure…

…read on to see how our readers voted.

New Orleans Saints’ quarterback Drew Brees and “The View” co-host Elisabeth Hassebeck are part of the growing gluten-free population, which seems to be gaining more dining options on land but hardly any at sea. Well aware of past troubles associated with finding a cruise that accommodates his wife’s special diet, creampea contacted the staff on Ruby Princess ahead of the couple’s cruise in hopes of eating something other than fruits and vegetables. But just to be safe, they brought some food onboard.

This week, I went to the theater on a cruise ship, and it was a revelation. Not just because the show (“Burn the Floor,” featured on the Norwegian Cruise Line‘s newest ship, Norwegian Breakaway) was excellent. But because it was actually like going to the theater ought to be.

You want to see the show? You need a ticket (a concept introduced a while ago for the big shows on Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas and taken up by Norwegian on Breakaway and on Norwegian Epic). So you’ve made a commitment to going. Which means you arrive on time (and maybe even a little early).

THE DEAL: Carnival Cruise Lines is offering a seven-night Canada and New England cruise onboard Carnival Glory, sailing roundtrip from Boston on June 9, 2013. Prices start from $379, per person, for an inside cabin.

Over the years, we’ve asked lots of Internet-related poll questions: Do you go online while you’re onboard? What do you do if the Internet is slow? Do you stay off the grid while you cruise? But recently we realized we had never actually asked our readers whether they pay for the privilege of connecting at sea.

So after an enormous buildup and endless reveals, Norwegian Breakaway is finally here.

Norwegian Cruise Line‘s latest ship set sail from Rotterdam yesterday, making her way to Southampton, where she’ll stay for a couple of days before setting sail for New York Tuesday evening.

So what’s the ship like? Read on to get our first impressions.

Hours of chaos at the Port of Galveston and big disappointments in Cozumel and Honduras had antiochsteveo already planning his next trip to Belize, while cruising Royal Caribbean International‘s Mariner of the Seas. A nearly three-hour boarding time put a damper on the mood, but that was quickly overturned by good food and new friends.

The adventures began in Roatan, Honduras, where a lackluster scuba diving company and limited opportunities to shop in the village were both major letdowns. The next day, Belize was not only a breath of fresh air, but also the experience of a lifetime. Hugh Parkey’s Belize Adventures left antiochsteveo saying, “I’d fly to Belize to dive with them any day of the week.” Finally, revisiting Cozumel, he had higher expectations. But a team of diving instructors who failed to… well, instruct, came as an unpleasant surprise.

Shows, comedy skits and a delicious but pricey menu — especially for anyone craving cocktails — made days at sea rather enjoyable. But deja vu set in when the ship docked back in Galveston. A lost bag of souvenirs and one migraine later, antiochsteveo’s next stop: Port Canaveral, Florida, and back to Belize.

For their efforts, antiochsteveo and four other Reviewers of the Week — bccruisers, madthumper, ridedlgtng and Nylynn14051 — receive Cruise Critic logo items.
