FLAHAM Posted July 25, 2010 #3 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Not missing much, in my opinion. I enjoy NCL and had a great time on the Jewel last December. The chocolate buffet was not a highlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. The chocolate buffet on Dawn was nothing special. I sampled a variety of offerings and none was memorable. Plus, it was ridiculously crowded. Don't feel bad if your ship doesn't have one.

rideev Posted July 25, 2010 #5 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Totally agree. I won't get up at midnight to see one on NCL again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Cruise4Ever Posted July 25, 2010 #6 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Totally agree. I won't get up at midnight to see one on NCL again. Neither will I because it hasn't been at midnight in a long time. I agree that the variety has been limited over the last few years... BUT, it still tastes awesome in my opinion! We never miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billie5 Posted July 25, 2010 #7 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Years ago it was at midnight, and the items were outrageously tasty. In recent times it has sensibly been made earlier, but, alas, we have not been able to find a single memorable item. I would opt to skip it, unless my curiosity sent me in just to ascertain if it had improved. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanamaJoe Posted July 25, 2010 #8 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Do they do a chocolate buffet on the day cruises? NCL losses big points for their lousy chocolate buffet. The best part is watching all the slobs pigging out lat the troughs like it's their last fix. Absolutely discussing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right there with you on that one :eek: The buffet by itself is nice to LOOK at but I really tought it would be actual chocolate pieces, not chocolate pastry. And the 3 I tasted were not good. But the size of the plates some cruisers had OMG :eek:, get a hold of yourself geezzzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG_Steve Posted July 26, 2010 #10 Share Posted July 26, 2010 The chocoholics buffet is over-rated, but not bad by any stretch. The most memorable part was when they opened the doors..... We paid extra for a suite, and as such, were invited to go early to the buffet. Many were lined up outside. When they opened the doors, those waiting on line looked flabbergasted that were folks in the buffet already. Priceless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanamaJoe Posted July 26, 2010 #11 Share Posted July 26, 2010 But the size of the plates some cruisers had OMG , get a hold of yourself geezzzz. I never put weight on when cruising because I just have to watch people at the troughs and I'm done! I guess it's another reason that we always eat at the specialty restuarants so that we don't have to see it. I eat to live not live to eat.

Dr. Jack Daniels Posted July 26, 2010 #12 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Not missing much, in my opinion. I enjoy NCL and had a great time on the Jewel last December. The chocolate buffet was not a highlight. Completely agree with those that were not impressed with the chocolate buffet. Seems the emphasis is on QUANTITY not QUALITY. It was the same way on Carnival, though. Not impressed with theirs either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffet, but this year 8/29/10 on the Dawn to Bemuda, I'd like to stop by JUST to take some photos!!! We have several different pics from various food buffets through the years (the midnight ones), but not a Chocolate Buffet! Time to take pictures of 1 Chocolate Buffet for our collection.

You may be disappointed. I also went with camera in hand. There were 3 ice sculptures - one of the NCL logo, a horse and a swan. I photographed those but didn't take a single pic of the buffet itself as there really wasn't anything worth photographing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, guess we might be, but we'll probably do it anyway, unless the lines are way too crowded. Have to find out where they have it and what time. I know it is not midnight. Thanks for the heads up. This way we won't be too disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, it started at 7:30. The one thing I really liked was the white chocolate rice krispies treats. They were yummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weltek Posted July 26, 2010 #17 Share Posted July 26, 2010 It's not available on the Sky four day. I'll sort of disagree with most of the posters here. While it's less of a spectacle than it used to be, I find it to be tasty and a fun thing to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds ridiculously early~ People are either eating dinner, just finished or haven't even started dinner? Is Chocolate the "appetizer" :-) I thought it was around 10-10:30 or so. If anyone has recently gotten off the Dawn, please let us know. Thanks all for your responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disneysteve Posted July 27, 2010 #20 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Sorry about that. I was trying to find the activity sheet from that day but that's the one I seem to be missing. Thought we brought them all home. It was later. Ten o'clock sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
