Tasty bake shop and desert specialities are on the daily bill of fare and the cooks go all out for special occasions such as Thanksgiving and Christmas meals when their expertise in decorating and garnishing is displayed with the entree. In order to provide such volume feeding, more than 300,000 pounds of dry, fresh, and frozen provisions are carried on board. Each at sea period, approximately 75 tons of provisions are loaded during VERTREP evolutions. This enables the ship to continue extended at sea periods without returning to port.
