mz-s Posted May 29, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 29, 2018 The Taste Bar, it was totally empty on our cruise on the Ecstasy last week. 24/7 included room service - this is a big one for me and why I have nothing booked after our November cruise. It seems like a small thing but getting a BLT after being in the night club or casino or whatever is part of cruising to me and my wife. Lobster on a 5 day cruise.

arcone Posted May 29, 2018 #7 Share Posted May 29, 2018 The. Three part folded deck plans card. I wish the picture of the ship that deck plan was for was on the front of the card I have all deck plan cards of our previous sailing with the photo and name of the ship on front cover Now for saving money I guess one side is the same on all ships and the deck plan is on the the reverse side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare SRQbeachgirl Posted May 29, 2018 #12 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Midnight buffet. Ditto this! Also, the steel drum music on the Lido deck, instead of the way-too-loud hip hop (or whatever the stuff is called that's blaring at an ear-splitting decibel).

TheTravelista Posted May 29, 2018 #14 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Captains Gala that took place in the theater with the live band/dancing, free drinks and appetizers for all. Fun Farewell Party on the last night that included free drinks and a live band. The late night crepes. The midnight buffets. Guys Burgers are really great but I miss the variety of the old grills. Chicken sandwiches, steak sandwiches, chicken tenders, hot dogs, chili, cheese sauce, grilled onions, AND fries/burgers. The variety of toppings from the old pizza station. I honestly prefer the old pizza, period. When the loyalty program was referred to as “The Carnival Concierge Club” instead of “VIFP.” Very Important Fun Person just...no.

Celtic Cop Posted May 29, 2018 #15 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Tops optional decks. New to cruising, just booked our first cruise, but I wish this was a thing for select areas of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schazzy Posted May 29, 2018 #16 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Guys Burgers are really great but I miss the variety of the old grills. Chicken sandwiches, steak sandwiches, chicken tenders, hot dogs, chili, cheese sauce, grilled onions, AND fries/burgers. If you sail on the Miracle or the Splendor, they still have the grill. Gone are the chicken and steak sandwiches, but they had everything else you mentioned earlier this month on the Miracle. I really like Guys, but the grill burgers were pretty good, and the chili was really good, it was full of meat, beans, peppers and onions, put it over some cheese fries and it was a meal! :D They should have that as an option, considering one of Guy Fieri's signature dishes is his Dragon Chili cheese fries!

Rare mizLORInj Posted May 29, 2018 #17 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Funny, just the past couple days we talked about what Carnival offered when we first cruised on them in 2003. Amenity basket in bathroom. We liked the Taste bar. Better production shows (although Horizon cast was large--other ships were down to 4 singers/dancers) Extensive "chocolate extravaganza" LOL I remember the top optional decks! Remember the ship drawing mat that was on your place setting in the dining room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MistyRo76 Posted May 29, 2018 #18 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Welcome Aboard Rum Swizzle Party in the Casino Bathroom Amenity Kits Captain Morgan's (it was no where to be found on my last cruise - hoping this was just a one off!)

Keys2Heaven Posted May 29, 2018 #21 Share Posted May 29, 2018 What things have Carnival discontinued that you wish would come back? Doing a journey's cruise next year and there are some throwback items. Really looking forward to the MNB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmarnnurse Posted May 29, 2018 #22 Share Posted May 29, 2018 The Captains Reception Party for EVERYONE, not just Platinum and Diamond, that included complimentary cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. Also, the Past Cruiser Party, which included the same as the Captains party, and was for ANYONE who had cruised Carnival before, not just Platinum and Diamond. Then there was the midnight buffets, but I hear Carnival does offer some late night snacks, also, now. The parties were the main thing that is gone now, though. They were wonderful!
