We love to eat in the dining room -- but many times the dining room is closed on port days at lunch time.

So we try and eat in the port.

I love to make a great salad at the buffet for lunch....

We no longer like HAL's salad bar -- you have a choice of Caesar Salad or WEEDS!!! HAL loves arugla, oak leaf lettuce, but no iceberg lettuce!!

We also avoid buffets! Bad ... but I like to sit down and have someone serve me!

Like KK ... we enjoy eating in port from time to time.

Noticed that too. I also like good ol' plain iceberg lettuce. It doesn't have a lot of flavor but it makes a great base for whatever you want to add. The fancy varieties all combined have too many conflicting flavors in my opinion.

I like the PRincess buffet as it has stations so I can go to the area that has what I want. Never have had to battle the lines. Unlike Celebrity where it was long lines every time and you couldn't go ahead to get what you wanted but had to go through the whole selection of stuff I am not interested in.
On my first cruise because we were with dad we went to the dining room for every meal. I hate sitting and being waited on, takes way too much time. I want to grab a small something, eat it and get on with all the other things going on. I do enjoy the longer dining for dinner, but only dinner.

We usually do mix of MDR and buffet for breakfast anad lunch... but do tend to lean more heavily towards the MDR for breakfast especially.
