YouTube Video Description

Carnival Cruise Lines updated multiple food service offerings onboard blaming a myriad of reasons documented in an email to guests on Wednesday, November 2, 2022. We talk about all of the changes in this video and highlight which ones we're indifferent about along with which change makes us sad to see go. These updates are on top of other changes Carnival has made over the past 16 months since the cruise restart. We've already lost 24x7 pizza and other late-night food offerings. Additionally, brunch hours continue to be trimmed across the fleet, in addition to fewer offerings on the brunch menu. Outside of food, room servicing has been significantly reduced as well. Will Carnival continue to trim services offered onboard? How many guest favorites still stand to be eliminated? Time will tell as all cruise lines find a new normal in a post-COVID world. What do you think about these changes? Let us know in the comments what you'll miss the most from this latest round of cuts.
