Generally speaking, the buffet is fairly busy at the opening time for each meal and it tends to slow down as the meal time progresses. Meal times will vary a bit day-to-day, so you can check the schedule to plan accordingly.
Sailed Rotterdam Nov 20 - Nov 30 2022 Southern Caribbean 10 days and for my first ever Cruise....AWFUL....missed Half Moon Cay......got a whopping $38.00 back for missing that Island.....they ran out of some food items, ran out of beer, chasing staff for orange juice every morning, had to set our table for lunch, 2 hours for dinner, we had late seating so most times we missed the shows......room service wasn't terrible but not great either, when ordered room service for breakfast....I think they got the order right....maybe twice .....awful.....$5,000.00 for this........never again and I'm not the only one that experienced this either........so many on the ship were (Bitching) unbelievable.
