many passengers complain about poor food especially at the Buffet Restaurant. I was wondering which cruise line have you sailed where the buffet was good?

I wished that I had kept all those old photos of the late night buffets. I threw most of my old cruise photos out because they were fading over the years. Who knew back then that there were programs that could bring them back to their original state or even improve the. Sigh!

Very true. You can't compare buffets from cruises taken years ago to more recent ones. I have to say this, though, the buffet that we had on a HAL Grand Voyage was quite different from the back to back cruise buffet on the same ship.

I'd say the best I have had was the Celebrity Equinox in Europe. The buffet even had Sushi at dinner time. We had late dining that trip and the kid went to the buffet at 5:00 and ate enough sushi to get my moneys worth of the trip. (Amazing how skinny kids can eat so much and not get heavy, one night he polished off 30 pieces of it and then had a full dinner 8:00)
Sounds liked you had a truly wonderful buffet an Celebrity Equinox. I always enjoy cruising with Celebrity.

Holland America has the best food, but, the dessert were somewhat pedestrian. This last trip on the Breakaway the buffet quality was exceptional. Even the sugar free desserts were very good. Well, that's what my wife told me anyway.
Sometimes I am very disappointed in the quality of desserts at the buffet. I sticainly to ice cream.

Yeah, for some reason, desserts are not that great at the buffet. If I take anything besides ice cream I opt for a pudding or a mousse.
I can never figure that out. HAL has a great buffet, but then they go and mess up the desserts. At first I thought it was just that particular ship, the Noordam, but the Veendam was just as bad. I could understand if say Carnival had a bad aspect to the buffet, but HAL ?
