They are nothing like homemade buttermilk biscuits (I'm from TX btw) and the gravy just doesn't do it. I mean I am not a picky eater. I know they are making it for a ton of people so the quality won't be like a restaurant, but hey I didn't have to cook them or clean up after so I will take them!!!

Biscuits and gravy is only appropriate around 2am when bars close. When sober, it's nasty 🤣🤣 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a talent for creating a stir fry when they do pasta night😁 I believe I've read of this talent before. I asked the guy on Harmony last week to make me a spicy sauce. The way he responded with "ooooh, you like spicy?" kinda scared me, lol, but it was delicious and not crazy hot. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then left. Other than the doggy bag, I approve! Shrimp is delicious and also more expensive than many other foods at the buffet. At nice buffets, I often go through plates and plates of crab legs.

I want something so spicy it will rip out my GI tract, but short of ghost peppers, that is hard to come by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring some The way it works is you put together a plate of ingredients, and hand it to the cook. And if you don't see what you want, walk back to salad area and find what yiu want. Heck, you can even ask one of the staff to see if they have it. But please don't ask the cook. Ruins the flow of the line.

Adds excitement 😆 We got the idea from someone else who had been on Harmony just before us, but closest thing to foraging we did was bring bananas from WJ to the suite deck bartender for him to add to drinks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiserdotcom Posted June 10, 2022 #39 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Worst pasta sauce without any herbs or flavor. Too much Indian food with spicy flavor designed to work on the gut at an inopportune moment. Enjoyed the congee at breakfast, but it could have had stronger chicken flavor. A nice alternative to eggs and bacon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rubyfisch Posted June 10, 2022 #40 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I was on Serenade on a Baltic cruise before the pandemic, and every other morning, they had uttapam (a variety of dosa - kind of like a crepe). A large number of the guests on that voyage were Indian (if memory serves, I think the cruise director said it was something like 700), so there were even more Indian options than normal. The uttapam were amazing - I was said that neither of the US based sailings I went on had them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vatr1 Posted June 10, 2022 #41 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Just got back from B2B on Allure. Great Buffet even with the large number of cruisers. I really liked the waffle station for breakfast with fresh fruit, the potato salad as a side with beef, chicken or burgers for lunch. There was a lot of good variety on this buffet. Love Royal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second would be the Mongolian grill. Bill wow I was going to post stay away from the corned beef hash.

I find the curries/Indian food has the right amount of spice to make it interesting. I enjoy all the Indian offerings. On the Oasis they have homemade Naan, which was yummy. IMHO the Oasis has the best buffet in the fleet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Submariner Posted June 10, 2022 #47 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I like the curries although it is watered down American style not UK British style - I prefer it spicy. Least favorite is the swirl they call buffet scrambled eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
