Horizon Court on Regal Princess

Food was hot and fresh

When it comes to the buffet area on the Regal Princess (a.k.a. the Horizon Court), I have mixed feelings. Don't get me wrong, it was my main go-to spot for breakfast and lunch because it's quick and easy to grab a bite while surveying all the food options available. However, after experiencing the buffets on Virgin Voyages and HAL, I must admit I've been a bit spoiled. Compared to those, the Regal Princess buffet wasn't anything to write home about. Sure, there were some decent food options, but it paled in comparison to the variety and quality of the other buffets I've encountered. For breakfast, they had all the usual staples like cereal, eggs, bacon, and pastries, but there was nothing that made me go "wow, I need to go back for seconds!" One thing I did appreciate was the design of the area, as the food stations were located in the inside areas, rather than alongside the aisles. However, it was a bit frustrating that there weren't dedicated stations for specific types of food, like Mexican or pasta. Instead, everything was all mixed together, which made it harder to narrow down my choices. Plus, the omelet station didn't make omelets while you wait. Instead, they gave me a ticket to give to my waiter, who after 10 minutes is supposed to bring the meal. Good luck finding a waiter during the morning rush hour! Most of them were busy dealing with larger parties, so I often had to fend for myself. The lunch selection was hit or miss, but on the last day of the cruise, they had sushi, seafood, and a variety of cakes, which was a nice surprise. Overall, if I had to compare the Horizon Court buffet to the other buffets I've experienced, it wouldn't come out on top. However, there were still some solid choices, and you definitely won't go hungry. So, I would give it a rating of 3.5 stars.

A lot of variety, breakfast and lunch were the same selections each day. There were many staff working but beverage were mostly self serve. Last day had many delicious cakes and desserts at lunchtime and dinner was a great Mongolian stir fry.

Worst Buffet at Sea hands down...

I wish they would let staff service the guest. I saw a man wipe his nose before grabbing a serving spoon. I also saw a child handling cookies and putting them back on the tray.

Excellent we ate up here all the time great buffet servers excellent

Horizon was great for lunch and dinner and had excellent choices that changed every night. It was a hit and a miss for breakfast and had limited options (

Great selection of food at all meals. The crew serves you and also provides the beverages Enjoyed the brownies and cookies

Very good selections. Some dishes were rotated as I experienced in other cruises,but the overall quality was great. Also, every day we had a different international selection station, which was very nice.

There’s always good food here. They now serve my favourite food (Bread Pudding) at breakfast :-)
