Coffeemate

The buffet restaurant every time. We walk in when we are ready, put the food we want on our plates in the proportions we want, and there's no waiting around to be served. Far more choice than in the other restaurants too. Sadly though, more and more people are choosing the buffet for dinner. In years gone by it used to be almost empty in the evenings and was a delight. These days it can get quite crowded :-(

Yes, I loved the granola bars at the Cafe Promenade on Adventure last April. They were on a base of dark chocolate and tasted heavenly. So I was very disappointed when we went on Independence in September to find the granola bars were on some sort of pastry base. That made them much drier and I didn't really like them any more :-(

That was good for my waistline of course :-)

We have been on 20 cruises and it was only on the last one, two weeks ago, on Norwegian Jade, that I got suspected Norovirus for the first time. We always eat in the buffet, but always make sure to use the hand sanitisers and wash our hands a lot.

It seems that we nearly always pick up some sort of cold on a cruise these days too, and that never happened on our early ones - there again I don't remember having to use hand sanitisers on those early ones either (in the early 2000s), so I'm really wondering about the point made by others in this thread about the sanitising gel killing off the good bacteria as well as the bad and therefore actually making us much more vulnerable to any bugs we cone across on the ship.
