How do you do the Midnight Buffet

[stretch]

I always try to do it late in the evening. Tried once at 4:00 in the afternoon but it just wasn't all it was cracked up to be. :D

LOL. I'm the same way

[Tamolio]

I'm usually too drunk by then to make it to the buffet. It's all i can do to stumble back to my cabin.

 

:cool: Tammy

[phlydude]

That's the night that they get you into the casino...

[gerif]

Actually, I just can't see the point of spending an hour or so standing in line for picked over food - prefer sitting happily in front of a slot machine!

Your replies crack me up. LOL We go once maybe twice during a cruise. :D

[PTarbay]

You forgot a choice.Go and look it's pretty but don't eat because the food looks a lot better than it tastes.

[MTS]

It's great to see the presentation and all the carvings, but usually way to stuffed to enjoy any of the food.

 

I think because most people feel the same way the cruise lines don't seem to have this event much anymore.

We eat the late seating...too full to eat, and it's too late to eat. Go look sometimes.

On my first cruise in '80 or'81 ( Norway) I went to one of the midnite buffets, the only thing I recall is that Tiny Tim ( he was a guest/emceed some show)was stuffing his shopping bag. On my next 6 cruises I didn't bother ...can't stand to wait in line

[Folgy]

I take some pictures then go for a walk hand in hand with the DW on the outter deck and then to bed.

[bearette]

I have late dinning as well so we are too full to eat. I love to look at it though. I was just on Princess and I was so disappointed that they didn't have a midnight buffet. (Their regular buffet is open 24/7 though). I like to see what new things they have come up with.

[FinelyCruising]

I stay away...I am 48 and just looking at food makes me fat. I don't need any more photo op's for weight gain either. especially if I zoom the lens in on something sweet and saucy...:D

On the BIG RED BOAT in 1993 we had decided not to go as we wanted to get up early and DD wasn't feeling so well. But our waiter at dinner acted sooo disappointed that we promised him we'd go. We ended up falling asleep at 10 PM, but we had set the alarm for 11:45. We got up, took a few pictures and went back to bed!

[Jim M]

Sure we go, its the only reason I can come with for the early dinner seating.

 

I don't appreciate it much though when folks going through the line looking, have to touch the food to point it out to the person standing right next to them!! :eek:

I went once or twice, but after that isn't it all pretty much the same stuff? Besides, I have better things to do than stand in line for an hour and shuffle along while others take forever to make their choices.

[FinelyCruising]

...if you could only spell all those big words and letters would seem so much more meaningful....:rolleyes:

[abridalmaven]

You can bring things back to your room, they cover you plate with a lid and give you utensils. Besides,, shrimp, shrimp, shrimp... I can never get enough!:D

[Rubia_Boricua_PR]

We were on late seating so we were still full at midnight so i just had few things. Same with the one by the pool side, it suck that we were still full, had just a little room for the buffet.

[Raysfun]

Couldn't find my way from the bar to the buffet. Midnight? Beer not food.:eek:

You forgot a choice.Go and look it's pretty but don't eat because the food looks a lot better than it tastes.

This is definitely the choice I would have voted for. Another reason I avoid it is that I just get sickened seeing all those people piling their plates sky-high with more food than could possibly be consumed by an entire family, and then leaving most of it picked-over on their plates for the staff to clean up. What...is there a fear of starvation that emerges when faced with a free buffet?

 

The midnight chocolate buffet was even worse -- I saw people piling plates with literally dozens upon dozens of chocolate-covered strawberries, and taking them back to their rooms. Who could possibly eat that many chocolate-covered strawberries? And then there was the infamous event when I was among the last five people in line, there were ten chocolate-covered strawberries left, and the person in front of me TOOK THEM ALL! Later, I looked around the room and saw plate after plate filled with uneaten or barely-bitten-into chocolate-covered strawberries. And I didn't even get one! (I've been in therapy, but apparently I'm dealing with a pretty severe case of post-traumatic-strawberry disorder.)

you know....it's pretty to look at, however, i think midnight is a little too late for caviar and sushi that's been sitting around for 2 hours, and been breathed on by 3000 of your closest friends.

[Andipanda1]

Well, now that you put it that way....:eek:

 

Anyway, we have late seating, so we're usually too stuffed.

[tazmancruiser]

can you imagine all of the complaining their would be if R.C. quit having the midnight buffet?
