I passed. Are they still doing that alternating bacon days both through room service and in the buffet? They must think we are a bunch of turkeys if they are trying to serve us fake BLT's. 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLT stands for Bread, Lettuce, and Turkey bacon. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil2Angelic Posted October 1, 2022 #103 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I heard that Carnival is no longer providing the hanging room service breakfast cards so you can pre-order your coffee, fruit, breakfast items to be delivered at a scheduled time in the morning. Is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta figure that's next on the chopping block... What do you mean by "waste". On a cruise is the only time the wife and I indulge in frosted flakes and fruit loops. We don't waste a thing.

This with a beer is DH's favourite RS order. He enjoys it while relaxing in the jetted bathtub. It became a wacky Carnival cruise tradition for him many years ago, when we booked our first Suite and he just couldn't stop chuckling about his silly Jacuzzi tub snack. He'll still order it for the $5, but will be disappointed if the chips and cookie are no longer included. I've ordered a toasted PB&J dozens of times after getting back to the ship after a hot day in port, call in the order, shower and voila, food arrives without having to trudge down to the buffett or Guy's for food. But the one thing used to be, about half the time, the chips or cookies would be stale. (usually the chips) I couldn't careless when it was free, i'd just eat the sandwich and leave the stale chips or cookie. If they are going to make you pay for super simple stuff like a PB&J and chips, they'd better prepare to serve much better quality food if you're going to force people to pay for it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this! $5 for a PB&J is already pretty steep if you can't eat the chips or cookie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joebucks Posted October 2, 2022 #110 Share Posted October 2, 2022 With all of the food Carnival has, that I look forward to, and have a hard time fitting it all in, I couldn't imagine having a PB&J. Also, having to pay for PB&J is not a good marketing look for Carnival. Many people are quick to write off cruises without giving them a chance. When people hear "you even have to pay for a PB&J" it will be taken the wrong way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BasicSailor Posted October 3, 2022 #113 Share Posted October 3, 2022 One thing I noticed was while inline ordering a pizza. There are always people sitting near that had previously ordered a half or a slice of pizza. When several pizzas come out, they are quickly gobbled away. The person in line is left waiting for the next batch of pizza to be made. Noticed several people bickering over, this a few heated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacruise804 Posted October 6, 2022 #122 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Do you know if Deli sandwiches are made to order (ex: no horseradish sauce on steak & cheese) or are they all pre-made (and warmed if a hot item)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it depends on the ship. On the Sunshine and Freedom everything I ordered was made to order, but I hear reports of folks on other ships getting served pre-made (and hastily reheated) sandwiches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my last few trips to the deli, I have noticed that they were "pre-assembled". Which means they assemble the ingredients together to balance labor during slow times and rushes. I even watched another worker make them. I think many people equate this to a prepackaged gas station sandwich. While equating "fresh" with hand-carved meats and freshly baked bread out of the oven. The difference is you are just watching them do the same thing they may have done a half hour ago. If you don't like an ingredient (like disgusting horseradish), they can make you one without.

jetteh22 Posted October 6, 2022 #125 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Was really hoping speciality coffees/iced coffees would appear on the room service menu because the line at that place can get so long sometimes! I don't mind paying for certain things if I order room service because I mostly eat in the free eateries anyways and the convenience of having a snack but not having to leave the room is nice as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
