Was the whipped butter real butter or a butter oil mix?

Not a clue..the bread was too good to savor

According to previous posts, it's simply margarine

[edspec]

Yes! I hate whipped butter. That is an excellent change.

The bad part is, they will still probably be frozen. Nothing like trying to put a frozen brick on a lukewarm piece of bread.

Love that they are switching to real butter. Margarine has been proven to be much worse for us than just good old fashioned butter and butter just tastes better.

What information are you basing this off?

It's an assumption, which is why I said "probably". I have not been on a Carnival ship where the margarine had not been frozen.

Wow....they are serving butter again.....how high class of them.🙄

[nascartim]

As long as it's not a frozen brick.

Now if they can come up with real milk for my cereal on bacation days I might actually get to eat breakfast every day.

John Heald specifically said they would be soft...

[SASA13]

Excellent.  Baby Steps.

I wish I could find toast that was lukewarm on any cruise line.

years ago on my 1st cruise, when a tablemate went to spread butter on the roll, it flipped across the table and landed in a water glass- we saw it happen but the owner of the water glass didn't - i can still  see the look on her face when she went to drink the water!!!!!

It's not meaningless that nothing in nature will eat it. Good enough for me.

 

That's also not true, we used to give our cat Country Crock growing up to deal with hairballs. She ate it just fine and it worked to help her pass hairballs.

 

I don't eat margarine but that's just because I prefer butter. I don't try to come up with all these silly reasons why I don't eat it.

"Butter!"  "Parkay!"🙃

[geckoaz]

My fear is the pats of butter/margarine wii be rationed. One per guest? Ever try to get extra butter? Good luck. Alas.

On the Mardi Gras and Jubilee we would sit down in the MDR and set the (wrapped) butter pats on our plate hoping they softened before the bread arrived. Our little game which became a small part of the Great Adventure called cruising.

Just got off the Mardi Gras this morning. I didn't keep count but if was frozen more times than soft this cruise. As stated: hard to spread on their breads and toasts. But I liked it better than the whipped.

spelling

When we started cruising 2001 the butter pats were individually wrapped.

I am confused. Butter packets are an upgrade?
