Buffet on HA ships

[bailey450]

Having cruised on Princess and Celebrity quite often, I was wondering what the hours of the buffet are. On Princess, the buffet is open all the time; on Celebrity it closes down at certain times. Is food available all the time at the buffet? We will be on a European cruise and will be getting back to the ship late and would like to just run upstairs on several nights. Thanks for your help. I am referring to HA.

On HAL the Lido breakfast generally ends at 10:00 AM, with the continental breakfast open for another half-hour.

Lunch starts at 11:30 and will continue until 2:00. After that the deli-sanwich bar, pizza, ice cream station will remain open until about 4:30-5:00. The outside hamburger/hot dog station is open from about 11:30-5:00.

Dinner runs 6:00-8:00 PM.

The late-night buffet is from 11:30-12:30.

There can be some variance in these hours, but they're close.

Room service is available 24 hours/day.

And don't forget there's popcorn at the movies and hor d' oerves at the lounges. Hunger is hard to find on a HAL ship.

In short, there's an hour in the morning, an hour in the afternoon, and three and a half hours in late evening when food isn't available in the Lido. :)

 

I don't know ... with gaps like that one might starve to death! :eek:

On some of the ships, the sandwich, salad, some desserts, and ice cream stay open till 5 PM.

 

On our last few cruises the Lido didn't open for dinner until around 6:30.

 

Don't think you'll ever starve.

LOL!

It would take a LONG time for me to starve. A VERY LONG time.

Beverages are always available and Cookies almost always in the Lido even if the stations are closed (at least on the Oosterdam and Westerdam).

I would imagine some type of room service would be available 24/7?

You must have missed the earlier info:

Yes, room service is always available.

Yes I did! Sorry 'bout that! (I was sneaking in a quick read at work - obviously not a good idea!)
