Belle Mermaid Posted October 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Just curious if the menu at the buffet changes each night? Do they have theme nights? Is the Hibachi offered every night? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Lew- Posted October 18, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 18, 2018 The offerings, for the most part, do change every evening. Popular sides will repeat. There are theme nights. Not familiar with the hibachi so can't comment. We find HC on Royal Class ships to be an excellent alternative to the MDRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nini Posted October 22, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 22, 2018 The Regal buffet is fabulous! We were on it a few weeks ago and just got off of the Celebrity Reflection and the Regal is FAR superior - in our opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occasionally one of the "lanes" would be closed for cleaning, but that was rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyinpa Posted October 22, 2018 #6 Share Posted October 22, 2018 ok great also wanted to point out to newbies to explore the back of the buffet if you go for bfast. they make fresh things for you and deliver to your table. i found out after my cruise...sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmaiden Posted October 22, 2018 #7 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) We ate in the main dining room in the evenings last week, but I often went to the buffet for supplementary eating. (We were displeased with the MDR food on this sailing, but that's a subject for another thread!) I saved all my Patters, so I have the nightly themes as listed there. They were: Mongolian BBQ, Soup, Tex-Mex, Soup, Soup, International (it seemed to be Brazilian to me that night), and Oktoberfest. Now that I think about it, soup isn't really much of a theme, but that's what the Patter says for those nights.

Just curious, where on the patter is the list of buffet themes? I was reviewing my patters from January and I cannot located any of that information.

I was reviewing my patters from January and I cannot located any of that information. On the very back of the patter in the location where they list the times the buffet is open, there is usually the theme listed next to the dinner time for the buffet. At least there is where I found it a couple of years ago on the Regal. I wanted to also add that the Regal buffet was amazing, the Mongolian BBQ and the Octoberfest dinners were great and a couple of nights they have fresh crepes being made that were out of this world as well.

I will definitely pay attention for my upcoming cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes lanes and serving stations will be closed down during service. Its a fabulous buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a fabulous buffet. there's absolutely 2 areas. front or back. ive only seen half be open at a time though. or are you saying that every single row has something totally different when every single row is open? which means i literally missed half the buffet when the many lines were shut down during the times i visited. which i dont believe for one minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to closures not about any food offerings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
