Regular Breakfast Buffet Lines
Location: Throughout "The Gathering" you can find many different buffet lines that serve regular buffet foods.
Food Served: The food served in these lines will vary by day, but will include foods such as scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, bacon, sausage (typically varies by day), potatoes (typically varies by day), grits, and oatmeal. French toast and pancakes are served, but usually on alternating days. Some foods such as the bacon and grits are served by a person behind the counter, but you may ask for as much as you would like. There are other foods that are rotated in that I may have not included here.
Open Times: These buffet lines will open at different times each day. Not all buffet serving lines in the lido buffet are utilized at the same time, but all lines that are serving regular breakfast foods will serve the same things. Typically on a sea day the regular breakfast buffet lines open around 7:30am and on port days the time will be a little earlier.
