Your Lido Buffet "Creations"

[cruzelover55]

There's two types of smoked salmon. The one to put on a bagel is Lox. Usually cold smoked. That's what's onboard. Served at the deli. Then there's hot smoked, never seen that onboard.

Personally don't like hot. Other than at the deli, I have gotten the cold at "teatime" and off the breakfast hanger in the room. I order the makings and put it all together myself. I didn't call it lox as there is more than one type of that. The just plain smoked is on the ship. Thank goodness, as I don't like the oily, peppered, "gravitz" (can't spell it).:o

Thanks for the clarification! I'm going to give it a try this cruise. At least then I'll know. I haven't found any other way salmon is prepared that I like - but you never know!

Milkshakes! I would have never even thought of making my own. You just saved me a fortune on my upcoming cruise (with children). [emoji106]

MDR food customization hack:

 

I find the eggs overcooked when I order Eggs Benedict from the menu in the MDR, so I make my own by ordering English Muffin, poached eggs, a side order of ham (or salmon) and Hollandaise sauce on the side, and put it together myself.

 

I solved this problem by ordering mine with the sauce on the side. Never got another overcooked, lukewarm or coagulated eggs benny after I started doing that :) Same thing/less effort, especially when they insist on bringing every item on a separate plate.

I get a slice of pizza and then a burger without the bun from the buffet and cut the burger up over the pizza for a burger pizza. If it's during lunch, I drizzle a little ranch dressing over the top.

Sounds horrid but so so good!:D

 

I also like to mix a little hot cocoa in my coffee in the mornings.

 

I'm going to try this next cruise.

Going to try the milkshake next cruise, great idea!

 

 

I need to add chocolate ice cream for chocolate shake!! :D

I am from Southwestern PA and I agree that is a delicious way to eat salad. Now, I'm hungry for one, lol.

Don't forget ton of shredded mozzarella cheese too yum!

This is sheer genius!! Eggs benedict is my absolute favorite thing to order for breakfast. And this simple ordering technique seems like it will ensure that it will be freshly made to order! Thanks :hearteyes:

So for breakfast, we love I-Hop stuffed french toast. Last few cruises they have had the strawberry sauce on the lido buffet for breakfast. First get a few slices of french toast, then spread some cream cheese on top then pour strawberry sauce over the top of it all. Very tasty if you like that kind of breakfast!:D Thanks for reviving this post, hadn't seen it before, there are some great ideas!

 

I would have never thought of this. Sounds delicious! I have always been a savory breakfast orderer but when I see things like this on menus (like IHop) I am usually tempted to try, but never do. I will remember to give this a try on our upcoming cruise!

We are heading out on the Miracle tomorrow and I am undecided about the bottomless bubbles. We are bringing plenty of our favorite canned sodas, but the juice option from BB might be nice. However many of you talk about using the fruit juices offered at breakfast throughout the day for other tasty treats. Does this mean that juice is free/included at breakfast? If so, is it only certain kinds? I'd like to squirrel away some OJ for mimosas on the balcony.

Apple juice, orange juice and pineapple/orange/guava (POG) juice are available only at breakfast. Inside until 10-10:30. Outside at the grill to about noon.

Thanks Rose. We did enjoy mimosas on our last sea day.

Spinach, goat cheese tomatoes , and an english muffin.

For ships that don't have a Guys, I've saved bacon from breakfast to have it on a burger later.

Some really awesome ideas on this thread!! Thanks to all for sharing!

[lirpastar]

This was a fun read. Any new ideas to add?

[wms99]

I like to get an omlet from the egg station, then go out to the salsa bar at the burrito place and top it up. Makes a tasty breakfast.

[LizzieTrowbridge]

Breakfast grits in a bowl, add cheese from omelette station, scoop of cream cheese, salt and pepper, stir and the cheese melts- yum!!!
