JOHN HEALD AND I COMPLETELY DISAGREE ON THIS DINING CHANGE.

Just after 2020 when the cruise lines were just starting up again. Carnival cruise line announced because of supply chain issues they could not keep up with the demand for bacon on the cruise ship. They decided bacon in the buffet will now only be served every second day of the cruise. Well it's been 3 years and Carnival is still only serving bacon every second day. Now when asked about it John heald says it's to cut down on food waste. I completley disagree.

Last Carnival cruise I took back sometime around 2015 a family took the entire tray of bacon off the buffet at breakfast and took it to their table. It's not supply chain. It's gluttony, greed and fear of being called racist in "policing" the bacon, boiled shrimp, lobster.

I don’t like the bacon they serve at the buffet, not sure what they do to it but it’s plastic like and doesn’t taste good. So I don’t miss it, unless it’s gotten better since Covid, before Covid I didn’t like it. But for those of you that like it I can see why you’d be upset about not having it.

@barbaradionne7768 Месяц назад

Maybe he means that people were taking bacon onto their plates and not eating it all, then it has to be thrown out. I have seen this happen during cruises on Holland America and it is a sad commentary on some people’s wastefulness. 😢

Same thing with the change to the omelet station. The reason was "to speed up the line", but the change that they put in place had no effect on the time it takes to get through the line. Strictly a cost saving measure. I rarely get an omelet, but I stand in the line every day for my eggs over easy.

@JosephGood-oj4ct Месяц назад

Don, when you serve yourself in the buffet, some people serve themselves half a pound of bacon. Many times, I have observed much of this is remaining on the plate when the passenger leaves the table. This type of waste is not reusable, so it really is waste. I am not sure this is a very big problem but it does happen. Perhaps preplateing the bacon, like desserts do, could limit this form of the waste. I agree with you bacon should be available every day, but reducing gross wasted food is commendable too. But on the surface, this just looks like a cheap cutback.

@redhatbear1135 Месяц назад

Have you ordered bacon in the MDR? It’s nearly impossible to get 3 or less slices of bacon even when you ask for just 1.

@jfmezei Месяц назад

Cruise ships have industrial food production. For instance of one kitchen needs chopped peppers, they get choppd peppers from the veggie preparation kitched down below (who also distribute chopped peppers to the other kitchens and specialty restaurants). I am curious how bacon fits in this industrialied production system and if ends up needing to be done near the passengers so you need special grills, oil/grease collection/processing equipment at every place where bacon is to be served. If that were the case, I could understand the cruise ship serving bacon only at a smaller number of designated food outlets on board.

Speaking for myself the bacon buffet debate is not a cruise issue for anyone that I know that cruises on Carnival. You can order bacon with room service and get it in the main dining room. Bacon is more expensive breakfast food item so it is understandable from Carnival's point of view it is a controllable food waste item if it is all you can eat and goes uneaten.

If they serve things like bacon, people can come back for seconds. People's eyes are sometimes bigger than their stomachs. Food costs are high and getting higher. Just look at the prices at the grocery stores. Cruise lines are a business, and they will cut what they can to save costs. But when people pay thousands of dollars for a cruise, there should be the foods, they expect, including bacon.

Dear Don, Obviously you don’t ever go to the dining room for breakfast. (Perhaps you should, so that you can get the all important bacon) Firstly, it is untrue, of course, that one needs a reservation for breakfast in the dining room. Secondly, it is also untrue that “the vast majority” have breakfast in the Lido buffet area. The dining room often has lines and seems very popular at breakfast time. Maybe it is the bacon.

I usually eat blueberries with granola & yogurt for breakfast. For years, I could ask for the blueberries and they'd bring me some. One time I asked in the buffet and the chef came out & told me he didn't have any upstairs. They weren't providing him with any but if I went to the Main Dining Room, they could get it for me. I did just that & was told no, they didn't have any either. I pushed the issue though as it was the 2nd day of a 16 day cruise & the that chef came out to speak to me. He said, we have blueberries but we have to save them for desserts. It's become a standing joke in our family now on cruises, hey they actually have blueberries when we see occasionally see them. This was before Covid too.
