Default Midnight Chocolate Buffet??

When we were on the Victory at the beginning of October, we didn't notice a midnight chocolate buffet. Did we just completely miss it or have they done away with these? If they are gone, did they pull them from all ships?

Chocolate Buffet is usually during the day. Only one midnight buffet now & it's usually mexican food.

Never had one at midnight. They have, on all the cruises we've been on, been at lunch time on the Lido deck Buffet.

The OP is referring to the midnight gala buffet, which did include many awesome (looking) deserts and such. Yes they have been done away with fleetwide in my understanding.

Yes, I was referring to the gala buffet. Last year when we had it on the Triumph, it seemed to mainly be chocolate deserts...and I think it might have even been listed as the midnight chocolate gala buffet...could be wrong.

We always enjoyed seeing the ice sculptures, the food carvings, etc. I miss that they did away with this. The "midnight" mexican buffet was in addtional to the gala last year on the Triumph...but they only had the mexican buffet this year (which I always find to be a tad disappointing).
