SLSD, I also do not like buffets and manage to avoid them most of the time. My husband and I enjoy having breakfast outside on the Colonnade veranda, but I rarely use the buffet. I special order whatever I want on the spot and am always pleased. In fact, on a couple of occasions the chef offered it as a daily special the next day. Once the server returned from the kitchen and asked if I minded waiting a few extra minutes because the Chef needed to gather the ingredients for my request, a Croque Monsieur.
Also, we have repeated itineraries and have always found different directions to explore, including the Norwegian fjords. Enjoy!
