We sailed on the Holland America Nieuw Amsterdam to Alaska in May of 2019.
The ship’s Lido Market Restaurant Buffet is located on Deck 9 Aft, toward the back
of the ship.
The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night snacks and serves a
wide variety of foods.
For breakfast, the buffet offers standard fare, such as cereals, a variety of eggs,
meats, pancakes and waffles, fruits, milk and juice, and other options.
The Wild Harvest area features made-to-order omelets, while the Distant Lands station offers
made-to-order crepes.
The lunch buffet menu varies from day to day and features a wide variety of foods, including
several internationally-inspired dishes in the Distant Lands station, such as sushi and
a taco bar.
The carving station in the Breadboard station offers a cut of meat and associated sauces.
The food offered for the dinner buffet typically aligns with the dinner menu from the main
dining room, but it’s not always an exact match.
You will need to check both menus if you want to know all the food that is being served
for dinner on the ship.
The desserts in the Lido Market buffet include cookies, ice cream, cakes, pies, cupcakes,
puddings, and more.
There are usually several options to choose from for lunch and dinner, including some
sugar-free or no sugar added desserts.
Like the dinner buffet, the desserts tend to align with the main dining room menu, but
it’s not always an exact match.
The late-night buffet at the Lido Market -- which started at 10:30 pm every night on our cruise
-- features a lot of fried comfort food options.
Many items are bite-sized or easily fit on a small plate so you can just grab a snack
or try a lot of different options without completely filling up.
