The world's largest cruise ship shells out more than 30,000 meals a day for over 6,600 passengers who board each week.

More than 6,600 passengers board can travel on Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas.

Passengers aboard the Royal Caribbean Symphony of the Seas cruise ship may eat anywhere up to eight times a day — giving the staff a hefty load of food options to produce. Jaret de Silva, the ship's inventory manager, has a $1 million grocery budget each week to stock up the ship's 23 restaurants. that usually results in 30 trucks with 500 pallets worth of inventory, equating to more than 270,000 kg of food and drinks, brought to the ship in the Miami port on a weekly basis.Kitchens on the ship operate nonstop and are comprised of a culinary team of more than 1,000 people who cook for the guests while the boat is continuously moved by waves.

At the bottom of the ship, there are prep kitchens — including the butcher, veggie cutting room, and fish-thawing box — where food items are assembled. From the prep kitchens, food is then moved to the main galleys before being cooked and served to patrons.
