What time is the midnight buffet?

We leave for our cruise in less than a week!  The last minute details regarding packing usually come with questions about what clothing will be required for the dining room.  As you may have heard, dining on cruise ships is quite the adventure.

Yes, apparently that is a question often asked to cruise ship staff!  Most cruise lines don’t actually have a midnight buffet any longer, but there are many opportunities to experience food carving, ice sculpture and champagne waterfalls during a cruise.  With room service and the regular buffet open 24 hours a day, and formal and specialty restaurants, pubs and snack bars open from early morning to late at night, there aren’t many people who feel hungry while they are on a cruise!

According to internet cruise bloggers,  there are “unwritten” rules about food etiquette on board, such as a limit of 2 lobster that a person should order in the dining room.  Only 2 lobsters on lobster night in the restaurant?  Surely they must be joking! Enjoy some photos of cruise line food presentation at its finest!
