And people are going to discuss changes on these boards. That's why these boards are here. To discuss anything cruise related. People expect their next cruise to have the same level of service as their last cruise. Lately Carnival has been making changes that reduce the level of service people are expecting. So people are going to discuss those changes here. Omelette fillings, premade deli sandwiches, mushrooms on the burger fixin's bar, etc. And what's with the BACON EVERY OTHER DAY?? Covid is in the rear view, Carnival is building new mega ships, yet the cut backs continue. Come on Carnival, let's get some of these "trivial" complaints addressed. Restore the omelette fillings, make fresh made deli sandwiches, put the mushrooms back, and for God's sake.... Gimme some BACON WITH BREAKFAST EVERY DAY! You can have bacon every meal, every day on Carnival. Just not every venue, all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a big chunk of change to make up for, so yeah, out of necessity they've cut corners wherever they could. It would be lovely to go back to the days of cruising where they left chocolates on my pillow, there was a real midnight buffet, the captain threw a cocktail party for everyone, and we felt like cruising was the treat that was deserving of us saving all year to be able to sail. But, I don't see that happening, times are different everywhere these days. If it ever gets to the point that cruising feels awful without a few extras, then I'll just do something else. That was because of start up and all that built up obc from all those cancelled cruises (we had 13). The real point is that Carnival corp was 35+ billion in the hole due to covid (none of their own doing). They get a LOT of slack from me for that. Your opinion may vary.

RoperDK Posted July 30 #55 Share Posted July 30 22 hours ago, 1025cruise said: Apparently, the reasoning behind stopping the mushrooms at Guy's was food waste, not necessarily financial. Apparently they were throwing too many off them out versus how many were eaten. Sorry, but I don't really buy into that. I would think that if they were making too many sauteed mushrooms and having to throw them out then the next step would be to cook less sauteed mushrooms. If very few people were eating them, then I would say that eliminating them would be a valid point. So many people complained about them being gone that I think they were quite popular. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A while back I asked a Guy's server why the mushrooms were taken off the fixin's bar and he said too many people were loading up plate loads of the mushrooms and they had to keep refilling the bar, so they just took them off.

After 20+ cruises with Carnival I prefer the lido buffet. It's quicker, and I get what I want in the portions I want. Which begs to ask.... If you can get bacon in the MDR every morning then why can't you get bacon in the buffet every morning? Carnival is the only line that does this. If Carnival is still cutting corners due to tight financials then why are they building 3 new mega ships? Or are they cutting corners so they can afford to build 3 new mega ships? Don't get me wrong, I do love Carnival's experience. But the recent corner cutting is starting to effect my loyalty to the brand. Flame me if you want, but these boards are for discussions and that's my opinion on the matter. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO if they have 5 ships in the pipeline of which 3 are a mega class, then millions have already been spent on design services, planning and marketing. That affects the bottom line which affects everything Carnival is doing right now on its existing ships. But that's just my opinion. I have no inside knowledge of Carnival's business plans. I'm just a lowly customer who's noticed changes in my onboard experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, Bacation is about 3 years old, but bacon police go back years before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this what the beards was hoping for? Does your dissatisfaction in any way impact Carnival's revenue? Because unless it does, why would the "beards" care?

A little sausage, 3 eggs over easy, a hand full of grits, cup of black coffee and I'm set for the day. Now we are talking.
