I like it. If you like the french toast served on Lido, you’ll like it too. It’s similar to that but better in my mind.

Yes, I like the lido french toast so I will try it on my cruise at the end of October.

How is it?

12 hour French Toast and it's a lot of bread.

It's a shame they've cut the menu like they have and reduced hours at Sea Day Brunch. I wouldn't be surprised to see it go away altogether before long sadly the way Carnival is being ruthless with the cutbacks.

This is Carnival's math on the brunch: Limited menu + limited hours = fewer guests attending = Zero Brunch due to lack of guest attendance.

Probably not Carnival math. Carnival's math is to give away a brunch cocktail to increase attendance.

That has been gone forever along with George Lopez.

Only to take the pressure off the lido buffet staff.

What pressure? The bacon eaters go where the bacon is.

Cue the announcement... "Due to lack of guest demand, we're replacing brunch in the MDR with brunch at the buffet, on all days except debarkaton/embarkation, to accommodate guests who said they'd prefer longer breakfast hours at the buffet."

 

Gets rid of another full service dining option and eliminates a separate lunch menu on the buffet every day (and associated procurement costs).  Plus fewer people will be inclined to eat breakfast and lunch if it's billed as brunch and has the same items at both meal times.

 

Damn, I could be a Carnival bean counter!

Arnold Donald read this and slapped his forehead and exclaimed: ' why didn't I think of this? I'd still have my job! '

I can't recall a time when you've written so dismissively of the food on Carnival.

I haven't tried the chicken and waffles - thanks for posting, I'm excited to try it on my November cruise!

If it was all that much of a favorite the name of the item would be memorable, I should think.

Back in the day, when it was still on the menu, it was.

 

What the hell kind of name is Hen Alla Diavola? The real dish is Chicken Alla Diavola. They could have call it Chicken of Satan, It was good.

It was like a 1/3 of a loaf of bread. It was square and and tall approximately 4” tall. It was delicious but it was too big.

I tried it once after the old George Lopez inspired menu went away.  I found it really dry, to the point of being almost inedible.  Apparently they forgot to soak mine for 12 (or even 2) hours.

The shrimp and grits might be something I'd actually pay for, if done well.

For $6 I think I might take a chance on it.
