How many pounds did you gain after a cruise?

I went on two 7 day cruises, the first time i was bloated and ate too much, the second time i ate too much too lol but hey walking around on the islands and staying hydrated helps alot. I probably gained a few pounds, the rest i burned off from the heat and sweating ! Seriously bring a laxative or something, you will get bloated for sure. After a while i got sick of the buffet, so at the beginning of the cruise you eat alot but by the middle of it you have sort of eaten everything they offer already lol. Don't worry, enjoy yourself, infact try to lose weight before you go on your cruise so that you won't feel so bad about eating while on vacation !

3 pounds, 5 nights. There's non-stop food/buffets. But there are also lots of activities to counter all the eating (most luxury liners have a gym and exercise classes and of course you can swim 24/7).

I doubt it. Maybe 2-3lbs but not 12. You would have to consume over 2000 of your normal intake of food everyday and that's including drinks.

i always enjoy the Pegasus Cruise. The food is all u can eat, but its healthy greek faire, and there are a lot of physical activities to do on board like swimming, working out in the gym, dancing in all 3 nightclubs (which are actually open 24/hrs day hehe). we stopped on one greek island, and stayed for like 4 days. i was able to do a camping trip and do a lot of hiking.so with my air fare and souvenirs, the total trip only cost me $6,000 each time i went.

I would think that 5 lbs would be about average, unless you are very constrained with your eating. Even going for the healthy option, you have the potential to overeat constantly and I defy anyone to disembark from a cruise weighing the same as when they boarded.

Of course, you do lose a substantial amount of weight if there is an outbreak of Norovirus and you get infected but hopefully with the sanitising routines on board cruise ships this won't happen.

I gained 5 pounds on a 1 week cruise*shudders*

I 'broke even'. I'd never been on a cruise before and I was warned about gaining weight because of the over abundance of food, so I went on a diet two weeks before, cutting back on the junk foods and drinking more water and I lost 10 lbs. The cruise was for 7 days and I came home close to the same weight I was before I dieted.

The average is 1 pound a day. So Like others here, I always loose weight before I cruise so I come back the same as before I lost weight. Now if your one of the lucky natural skinny person's, then most likely you have nothing to worry about. On a cruise you have dessert offered to you at least 3 times a day, starting with pastries. Then besides breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you may eat anytime in between and late at night too. Alcohol is real fattening too. But, it is sooo worth it.

Why So Serious?

well it depends on how much you eat, and what you are eating. its common sense.
