Lido Buffet onboard the Veendam
Lido Restaurant:
For casual indoor and outdoor dining, the Lido Restaurant onboard the Veendam is the main option. This expansive buffet boasts made to order fare such as omelettes, as well as pasta, pizza, gourmet sandwiches, and a salad bar. The Lido receives fair reviews because there can be long lines during peak hours. Dine indoors or out from 6:30am to 11:00am for breakfast, and from 11:30am to 2:00pm for lunch. The deli is open from 2:00pm to 5:00pm. Dinner is from 7:30pm to 10:30pm, and reviews suggest you'll be happier at the Rotterdam. While there's no cost for food, specialty drinks, wines, beer, and soft drinks are available for purchase from the current bar menu.
Terrace Grill:
Open for lunch only, the Veendam's Terrace Grill, also on Lido Deck, serves pizza, nachos, sandwiches, gourmet sausages, and grilled burgers and hot dogs. Hamburgers from the grill receive great guest reviews! Check for open hours once aboard as these do vary based upon cruise itinerary.
Slice:
Aft of the pool, stop by here for a huge slice of pizza. If you like thick pizza, you'll love this! Check when aboard for hours.
