I am not sure how many of you remember the Midnight Buffet. Years ago we had hugely popular midnight buffets and chocolate extravaganzas. Recently I hear many passengers lament the lack of food available after the dinner hour. Should cruise lines bring back these events or provide more food options other than just pizza? What do you think...

They have also done away with the Chocolate Buffet which was always a treat and a wonder to see. Instead NCL now does a "chocolate dessert night" (meh). That is a bit disappointing but all of the lines are pinching the nickel these days so I would not expect to see the return any time soon of the chocolate buffet or the midnight buffet. What I do expect are some additional venues offering "premium" after hour food choices ... at an extra cost of course.
Yes, I know it was a cost savings decision and I doubt that they will return. I agree with you that there does need to be more late night dining options offered.

I kinda like the idea of a small all-night café.... I guess there is something romantic about quiet talk over a drink in the wee hours.
I like the sound of this, too.

Some people were greedy pigs. One gentleman in front of me wanted, let's say, more than his fair share of lobster. So, he tried to put one on his sons plate. The kid panicked at the sight of the giant sea roach and started screaming. Now, everyone is looking and sees what this guy is up to. I mean c'mon, two whole lobsters ?????? Can't you leave some for someone else ?
Yes this is always a problem at buffets. It is bad enough that some overload their plates and food falls off while they search for a table, but more importantly they don't finish what they have taken and it goes to waste.

Oh, I'd pay to do a chocolate extravaganza- let me know if it ever comes back!

In all honesty, if I went to a buffet that looked like that, I'd be afraid to eat it!
Such wonderful art!

I used to take pictures at the midnight buffet, and I did eat. If waste is an issue, maybe there is some way to scale it down.
