for the life of me I cannot understand someone going to the buffet (we call it the food trough) when they are on a cruise ship with all kinds of sit down restaurants, many of which are already included in your price.

Also their fries some days were to kill for other days not so much.

So the buffet is the same but at least you can guarantee what to eat there and there are so many other places you can eat as well. Seems to me NCL caters pretty much for everyone. OK the buffet food isn’t that good but it probably is up there with you best workplace buffets?
