About the fourth day of our seven day around Hawai’i cruise, we discovered the Lanai Buffet. Â This is the mostly outdoor extension of the main buffet where we ate. Â It was nice to sit and eat out there, except for the wind. Â One many occasions you had to hold your food on the plate or off it would go! Â Anything at all light (chips, breadsticks, lettuce) would be off in a flash. Â When it wasn’t blowing (such as when in port) it was delightful out there. Â The other thing interesting about eating onboard was the silverware. Â A set would be wrapped in a cloth napkin, and then set in stacks in the condiment tray on each table. Â No more racks of silverware to dig through. Â This was for inside and out. Â 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. Â The buffet was good and varied enough that we never ended up in the specialty restaurants. Â Some of them cost extra per meal anyway.

All you could eat and drink (not alcohol or soda) was included in the ticket! Â These seat cushions were interesting. Â They were set vertically, and squeezed in tight to keep them upright and in place. Â 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.
