Are There Microwaves on Cruise Ships?

The Answer is Generally No

Microwaves are not typically available for passenger use on cruise ships. This is because microwaves can pose a fire hazard, especially if they are not used properly. In addition, microwaves can interfere with the ship's electrical systems. For these reasons, most cruise lines do not allow passengers to bring their own microwaves on board. Some ships now have a warming cabinet where precooked food can be placed for about 2 minutes and be completely heated. This is also used for food items purchased from a ship restaurant that are ready to eat but may have gotten cold.

Exceptions to the Rule

There are a few exceptions to the rule against microwaves on cruise ships. Some ships have designated areas where passengers can use microwaves. These areas are typically located in public areas, such as the buffet or the lido deck. In addition, some cruise lines allow passengers to bring their own microwaves on board if they have a medical condition that requires them to use a microwave. Passengers who wish to bring their own microwave on board should contact the cruise line in advance to get approval.
