Holland America Food Buffet Dinner at Lido Market 150+ Items & Menus (4K)

See what Holland America has at its buffet for dinner at the Lido Market restaurant. This video slideshow showcases over 150 items including several sample menus which include theme nights such as "Steak Dinner", "Steak Crab Legs", "Salmon Bake" & "Lobster Bake".

We found that the selections were not as varied as what we found at dinner buffets on Princess, Royal Caribbean or NCL. The quality varied from very good to mediocre. A big difference vs other cruise lines is that you need crew members to serve you most items. The exceptions were appetizers/fruits/desserts on small plates/bowls which you can grab yourself and go. Thankfully, the wait to get served was not too bad at all.

Like Princess, the Holland America wait staff ask and bring you drinks at the buffet, but that was not consistent at all. About 1/3 of the time we were not asked what we wanted to drink. Princess Cruises overall offered the best consistent service at the buffet. And of course Royal Caribbean or NCL crew do not ask to bring you drinks at the buffet.

Ultimately, the Holland America dinner buffet fell a little short compared to lunch, despite occasionally having special items such as lamb chops, crab legs & even lobster. The Holland America Lunch buffet was a little more enjoyable with more selection, including Asian stir-fries & even sushi.

Some of our favorites from the Holland America Lido Buffet for dinner included:

Bacon-wrapped Scallops

Lobster Mac & Cheese

Breaded Herb Lamb Chops

Rosemary Garlic Lamb Chops

Steamed Crab Legs

Campfire Ale Pork Stew

Braised Ox Tail

"Verry" Berry Tart

Baked Lobster Tails

Chile Rellenos
