Do you miss the elaborate Cruise Ship Midnight Buffets? 🚢🍫
Remember when staying up late on a cruise meant being rewarded with a spectacular midnight buffet?
Tables piled high with smoked salmon, charcuterie, cheeses, pizza, desserts and all sorts of late-night treats. And then there were the chocolate buffets — chocolate fountains, handmade sculptures and desserts that almost looked too good to eat. Almost. 😂
Most cruise lines did away with these elaborate midnight spreads more than a decade ago, but they were definitely part of the classic cruising experience.
I’m not sure we actually needed another meal at midnight after eating all day…but that certainly didn’t stop us! 😆
Do you miss the old-style midnight buffets, or are you happy they’re a thing of the past?
