Day 120: About eating onboard the ship!

About the fourth day of our seven day around Hawai’i cruise, we discovered the Lanai Buffet.  This is the mostly outdoor extension of the main buffet where we ate.  It was nice to sit and eat out there, except for the wind.  One many occasions you had to hold your food on the plate or off it would go!  Anything at all light (chips, breadsticks, lettuce) would be off in a flash.  When it wasn’t blowing (such as when in port) it was delightful out there.  The other thing interesting about eating onboard was the silverware.  A set would be wrapped in a cloth napkin, and then set in stacks in the condiment tray on each table.  No more racks of silverware to dig through.  This was for inside and out.  It helped to minimize the possible spreading of the Norwalk Virus, which has plagued many cruise ships in recent years.

All of the food we had was good.  The buffet was good and varied enough that we never ended up in the specialty restaurants.  Some of them cost extra per meal anyway.

All you could eat and drink (not alcohol or soda) was included in the ticket!  These seat cushions were interesting.  They were set vertically, and squeezed in tight to keep them upright and in place.  Easy to fix and arrange, just a little garish in color.

Desserts weren’t big, but they were good and you could have as many as you wanted.
