H82seaUgo Posted November 29, 2008 #1 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Especially on the Spirit class ships, what are you favorite foods other than the deli and Chinese? I'm trying to explain the different offerings to family, but am forgetting most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofzeke Posted November 29, 2008 #2 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Well, shoot........I was going to say the Chinese station. It's hard to remember what there is. The "Taste of Nations" station is usually good. Each day changes, and they have things like: Italian, Caribbean, Indian, French, Mexican, American and the Chocolate buffet. The poolside grill is another good choice for lunch. Besides hamburgers and hot dogs, there are chicken strips, onion rings, fries, a few salads. Not sure if the Spirit class ships have the Mongolian Grill station, but that is good. Tried it on the Valor and it was tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yearnin4cruisin Posted November 29, 2008 #3 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Don't miss the fish sticks when they have them at the lunch buffet. They're just like mini fillets and absolutely delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentz Posted November 29, 2008 #4 Share Posted November 29, 2008 A double stuffed Reuban at the sandwich place. Also a hotdog on the Lido deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serene56 Posted November 29, 2008 #12 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Do they have this on the Spirit? Nope and no wok fry station either. Now the fry station on the COnquest class between 11:30 and 2:30 was the best lunch offering for me ever. its not the same as the chinese station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlrboo Posted November 29, 2008 #13 Share Posted November 29, 2008 The "Taste of Nations" station is usually good. Each day changes, and they have things like: Italian, Caribbean, Indian, French, Mexican, American and the Chocolate buffet.This is always my first stop, as they come up with some great ways to fry, broil, grill, saute, poach and baste fish...:p Always something new and different...:D Never even made it to Fish & Chips on the Liberty last year..:eek:;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManOfBethesda Posted November 29, 2008 #14 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Here's a little interesting anecdote: while you're here on the Carnival board having a fun little discussion about - - - you know - - - the actual foods that are served in the buffet, over on the HAL board they have a 16 page thread with over 300 posts arguing about - - - get this - - whether the buffet line should or should not have trays! I posted to it myself a few days ago, but now it is completely out of control, lol. Well, I guess that it beats arguing about tipping, fuel surcharges, or jeans in the dining room. :) Here, check it out: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=880024 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlrboo Posted November 29, 2008 #15 Share Posted November 29, 2008 WOW! That's amazing.. A Reverend no less...:rolleyes::D Maybe we should start our own thread about 'trays in the buffet'.. :eek:;) Or 'lack thereof'.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valancy1 Posted November 29, 2008 #16 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Don't forget about salads--they have things like Orzo, ham & pineapple; potato; waldorf; they have a deli meat and cheese platter from which to sample; I really enjoy their fried chicken. They always have some sort of meat at the carving station--pork tenderloin, roast beef, ham, etc. I always say there is something for everyone on the Lido buffet. Don't forget all the scrummy desserts they offer at lunchtime, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63Corvette Posted November 29, 2008 #17 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Not the bufet, but right next to it on the Destiny, was the New York Deli. I had several great sandwiches from that place during our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neatokimmo Posted November 30, 2008 #23 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I love the jerk chicken too, it has to be in my top 5 favorite buffet dishes. Sometimes they have spicy gumbo type dishes that are good too. I love the jerk chicken at lunch and the mexican food at the taste of nations buffet on mexican day.
