If you don't like nickle and diming stay off of Norwegian. We booked a cheap cruise and then spent way more than what we are use to on Carnival.

If you buy 15 drinks. But I an now buy ten, pay a little more and have a lot more variety.

A bottle of so co cost me 84 dollars a few weeks ago. This does not qualify as a cutback and there is a lot of profit built in to that price.

I mean some things can be a cutback. But this was already a premium option which cost way too much. I almost did a bottle of Southern Comfort a few weeks ago. it would have cost me $87. This isn't a cutback. I decide ten drinks is just as good.

I have been cruising since 2015. I love carnival and I have noticed a difference this year (I have done three cruises). I despise the complaints about cutbacks. I help run a college. Even as a nonprofit you have to always change, and many times that includes removing things that aren't giving you the return on investment. Cruising is a ROI business. I am disappointed about the food quality this year. That is about the only change that effects me. The fact that I can buy an $87 bottle of Southern Comfort for my own use doesn't bother me. I will just buy ten drinks. Pizza hour cuts and sea day brunch cut is smart business decisions that really does not impact that many people. Certainly didn't effect me on my last cruise. I get it we all cruise for different reasons and have our own preferences. But here is what Carnival should do. They should not adjust what they are doing. Keep it the same. Keep accruing debt to the point that they have no choice but to go under. Now that is a cutback that would suck. I have read recently that there is over a 50% chance that Norwegian is going to have to eventually file for bankruptcy. This could happen to more than just them. My biggest concern is comments made from one of the higher ups that they are bothered that their vacations are less than land vacations and they need to fix that. Well, that will make a difference for me. I am cruising because the price for most land vacations aren't worth it to me. I don't cruise Disney and other expensive cruise lines for this reason. Yes, I can afford it. But I don't want to spend more that what I think the value is. So when this occurs, we will go from three cruises a year to one every few. Just my opinion. I hope this creates dialogue. Not here to argue, but I will. lol

quit saying everyone. Everyone doesn't want to do anything the same. I don't want to rush my meal. This isn't McDonalds.

This isn't applebys. I think a nice dinner takes a while. I will say the anytime dining is a lot faster that the set timing. I actually complained to my wife a couple of times on this last cruise that the service was too fast.

I believe it was cut one hour.
