WeeCountyMan Posted February 9, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 9, 2015 There are a couple of itineraries this year that interest me. Her Ladyship likes full waiter service on cruises and I believe IE is part waiter/part self service buffet ? Is this the case ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevio Posted February 10, 2015 #2 Share Posted February 10, 2015 There are a couple of itineraries this year that interest me. Her Ladyship likes full waiter service on cruises and I believe IE is part waiter/part self service buffet ? Is this the case ? Yes you are correct.... The IE has two buffets... The Beachcomber, a standard café style Thomson buffet. The Island Restaurant, still a self serve buffet but you are shown to your table that is ready adorned with tablecloth & cutlery settings & the waiters will bring water, tea or coffee. (I prefer the Beachcomber for the more spaced out seating.) There is also the Oasis Restaurant, a full waiter service restaurant that carries a cover charge & needs reservations... I think it was £15 a head, but I think they did deals of buy so many get one free. It is supposed to be their al à la carte steak, lobster etc. venue. There was also an experimental waiter service stone cooked at your table surf & turf being tried out while I was there last... Also at £15 per head looked to be well attended but its location being at one end of the Beachcomber, separated by only giant net curtains next to a staircase & just along from the toilets put us off... Rumour was this was to be relocated to the internet room at some time in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
