jakzak10 Posted July 1, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I for one would be willing to pay 1 extra dollar on my cruise fare to bring back the nightly chocolates. Carnival, that's 15 cents a night per chocolate, you can still make money. Let's see what else we can bring back, with a cost factor, and not raise the price of the cruise by more than 10.00 per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahs Grandad Posted July 1, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 1, 2016 It should be included in the cruise and wish they would bring them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzgurl4 Posted July 1, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I feel the same way, would love to see the chocolate make a comeback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbCRR Posted July 1, 2016 #4 Share Posted July 1, 2016 We didn't think the chocolate was very good, and rarely ate it. Maybe that should be another item on the room service card (morning service, turndown service, ice, chocolate). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky2 Posted July 1, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I also missed not having chocolates when we returned to the cabin after turndown service. My DH never ate his but gave them to me. I usually didn't eat mine either but took them home with me. It was fun eating them after returning home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkv Posted July 1, 2016 #7 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I'm neutral on having chocolate, but I bet my wife would enjoy having one of Carnival's chocolate chip cookies waiting for her when she got back for the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsanTom Posted July 1, 2016 #8 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Spend $5 on a box of chocolate and give them to your room steward to put a piece on your pillow each evening. This way the cruise line won't increase your fare and you'll save money and have a chocolate before bed. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted July 1, 2016 #9 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Bring your own chocolate! Who wants to eat chocolate right before bed? Haven't you already brushed your teeth??? Icky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staceelvls Posted July 1, 2016 #10 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Don't miss them, never ate them We were never interested in eating them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted July 2, 2016 #11 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I'm not much of a chocolate eater, but when I have it, I want "good" chocolate. And those things on the bed weren't. I prefer to pay for things I actually want. And it's not like you can't get enough other things to eat on the ship. Don't like the cookies from the buffet or room service, either. And I'm not going to pay for stuff from Cherries on Top. Already eat too much on the ship. No point in paying extra for even more (empty) calories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMAE Posted July 2, 2016 #13 Share Posted July 2, 2016 We would bring them home and I would put them on our bed at home. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rh2458 Posted July 2, 2016 #14 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Honestly, Carnival Corporation needs to find ways to keep the prices down, or near stable, and the amount of money Carnival is saving by not having the chocolates is one of the ways they have decided to maintain the bottom line. Also, because of the money they are saving places like Guys on the ships that are getting upgrades are possible. So, with all that said, I am fine with the change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StolidCruiser Posted July 2, 2016 #15 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Seems like most people don't want them, don't miss them or don't eat them. Carnival, put that dollar to use elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliair Posted July 2, 2016 #16 Share Posted July 2, 2016 So what do diabetics get because they don't eat sugar items like chocolate? Why should we have to pay extra to have something in our room we can't consume? Princess still delivers the chocolates every night and we tell them no thank you, and we don't have to pay extra for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For $3 or less, you can buy a box of Andes chocolate mints, and have multiple servings of a superior chocolate each day. Let's not see how others would like to spend my money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMastell Posted July 2, 2016 #21 Share Posted July 2, 2016 The ones they had were not good and I have no desire to see them return. It would be nice to have a decent chocolate but I don't miss it. There are some other lines that have good chocolate but I sure as heck don't cruise for the chocolate on my pillow. Take care, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terri-eddie Posted July 2, 2016 #22 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I miss the nightly chocolate too. It wasn't that they tasted all that great...they were just average. It was about the level of pampering. Bed turned down just so, lights on low, chocolate on the pillow. I felt special! It's still nice to have the bed turned down, but the missing chocolate just diminishes it slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjl1977 Posted July 2, 2016 #23 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I never ate them on the cruise. I usually ate them on the plane ride home to have something other than airplane snack food. As for those that say cutting back on mints was the money saving offset for 2.0 upgrades are crazy. They probably put those small savings towards food on the ship but I've never seen a price drop or stay the same in the cost of a cruise with Carnival after all the cutbacks. I would assume that the older ships that are paid for are paying for the 2.0 upgrades and the vista class ships not eliminating nightly mints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakzak10 Posted July 2, 2016 Author #25 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I agree. It was great coming back to your room seeing your towel creation and having the chocolate on your pillow. Taste didn't matter. It was the thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
