Hikini Posted August 14, 2005 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2005 At the back of the ship, behind Raffles Buffet it shows a snack bar. It appears it could be out on a deck. Is this an extension of the buffet? Or is it something completely different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Haynes Posted August 14, 2005 #2 Share Posted August 14, 2005 While NCL may consider it a different restaurant or lounge, its actually the outside deck behind the aft elevators of the inside buffet. However, there is a bar back there too. NCL also does some barbecuing back there, good hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken, and ribs.... There is a good view of the wake of the ship and the children's pool area deck 12 aft.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikini Posted August 14, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I wondered because on the Sky we didn't realize this area was there until the last day of the cruise. There was an outside line that was similar to the buffet line inside. Outdoor seating under an awning-type thing. I would have loved to have known about it earlier in the cruise. So when I was looking at the deck plans for the Spirit, it appears to be the same kind of idea. The deck plan says "Snack Bar" so I wasn't sure what they meant by that. The area is called "Raffles Terrace". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserabc123 Posted August 15, 2005 #4 Share Posted August 15, 2005 We never ate at Raffles Terrace... There is a much better BBQ during 1:30-3:30pm most days by the Tivoli Pool... The Bier Garden also had hambergers, hot dogs, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Haynes Posted August 15, 2005 #5 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Yes, they do. However, I liked to get drinks back there, read a book, and watch the wake of the ship, something you can't do by the noisy swimming pool area.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sci-tea Posted August 17, 2005 #6 Share Posted August 17, 2005 We got our food at the Raffles Buffet for breakfast and lunch and carried it outside to eat there almost every day. It was much more relaxing eating outside and the weather was perfect for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikini Posted August 17, 2005 Author #7 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Thanks for your replies. We will for sure check out this area - I was just curious and can hardly wait for the next 23 days to pass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sci-tea Posted August 18, 2005 #8 Share Posted August 18, 2005 You will love the Spirit. Make sure you try Bistro for the chocolate fondue dessert. We went when it was 2 for 1 and had impeccable service. Liked the dessert much better than the choc. buffet. Have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
