YouTube Video Description

On August 23, 2023, Carnival Cruise Line Brand Ambassador, John Heald, announced that the line would be introducing a new dining fee for one of the line’s popular new venues, Chibang. This announcement is particularly disappointing to us as we’ve raved about this restaurant and have encouraged all of our followers to check it out when sailing on Mardi Gras, Carnival Celebration and soon-to-be Carnival Jubilee. Despite John Heald previously stating that this venue would always be included in the cruise fare, and there were no plans to charge for the venue, this about-face comes at a time when each of the cruise lines looks for new ways to maximize onboard spend. This announcement comes just weeks after Princess Cruise Line announced that pizza would be an upcharge and Royal Caribbean got into hot water with rumors that they may be considering charging for it as well. The response was swift and harsh for RCL, however, and the CEO had to make a public statement that the line had no plans to charge for pizza. With this as the backdrop, it’s no surprise that Carnival Cruise Line is introducing this new fee. I’m just curious what will be next. As always, thanks for tuning in! -Mark and Rocky #carnivalmardigras #carnivalcelebration #carnivaljubilee #cruisenews #cruisefood #chibang #fees
