Do you miss the midnight buffet?

[caribbeanboy]

I don't miss it at all.

[Druke I]

I don't miss it. I rarely stay up that late, and thought it very wasteful of food.

[4everafter]

not at all! Who could eat that much??? but why can't they have chicken fingers (not drumettes! ) for room service?

[GlenandVal]

no do not miss it at all

I wouldnt mind if they did the chocolate buffet jsut once at an earlier time on the Jan 24 2010 Mariener so my chocolate lover mom could enjoy it.

 

But for me eating that late before sleeping just didnt make a lot of sense to me

[jules815]

I don't.

 

I have really enjoy the poolside buffets that they have mid week though. They're casual; people are dancing and having a good time. :)

[SamFritz]

I've been on four cruises and never made it, so I can't say I miss it. I have apsired to such moonlight madness though, so perhaps I'll miss it as an option.

I went once and it was neat, not tasty, but artistically neat. But I wouldn't miss it, seen it once thats all you need.

 

Carnival had a poolside 11 pm regular buffet the one time we were on there with a little band. It was really nice but I've not seen anything like that on RCCL the pool area is deserted after 10pm

[bplazo]

I am never up at midnight!

[luvscruising2007]

No, haven't missed it. We have late seating dinner and were always too full to eat anything anyway. I do miss the chocolate buffet though. It would be nice if they brought that back.

[Mydnite]

Now the chocolate buffet that was another matter!

[Brad1185]

the chocolate buffet such a waste glad to see it go

[Esmerelda]

Absolutely not....it was a waste of ship's money. There is so much food elsewhere it was quite silly.

 

Besides, I could hardly think about eating at midnight....after realizing on my last cruise I'd gained a mere 6 lbs in 7 days! Yikes...

 

 

waddle...waddle...;)

[firefly333]

Nope, been there and didnt want to wait in line and got pizza instead even when I was there and it was set up. I dont like lines.

[swcruise]

It did have a real wow factor to see the artistry of the chefs, but it was a waste of good food as most people there were at 2nd dining and not able to eat anything so soon after dinner...

[geojobes]

I usually just took pictures of the food at the preview & maybe ate a little snack. There is so much food around at all hours, there is no need for a big, elaborate buffet. Now, a deck party at night, once or twice with a themed menu is good. That I enjoyed, but I sure didn't need another big meal at midnight!

[marci22]

I don't miss it.

[CruisesOnMyMind]

We went once in over 20 cruises. Nice to look at! A ton of work went into showcasing! I don't remember eating anything. Midnight is not my time to eat as I am normally sound a sleep, so I do not miss it at all. I bet the staff doesn't either.

[yogimax]

Went to it once. That was enough

[trixietx]

No, we don't miss it. We always went to see it, but didn't eat, or if did not much. After eating dinner, we are not hungry at midnight.

[alicam]

Never done it, therefore, have never missed it

[Ephraim]

Nope. Waste of money and effort in the first place.

[brn2crz]

I do ...But I miss the ones from long ago..say early 80's...

We sailed NCL several times..and they were awesome..Shrimp.steak.Wonderful desserts...More then anyone really needed..But..I was pretty young then...My first in 83..I was a senior in high school...so..We would just stay out in the sun all day....eat the wonderful burgers by the pool,skip dinner...party all night then do the buffet...Man..those were the days!

 

The buffets of today,that were just pretty to look at.No..not at all..

[Zigggypup]

I don't miss it at all.

 

I don't miss it at all. Who needs to be strapping on the feed bag at that hour anyway.

[barbie5401]

when there was no food available late a night - the midnight buffet was the only place to get something. Glad they are not wasting the food!

[kruzerci]

Do they still have the big late night poolside buffet/party?
