5 Things CARNIVAL Doesn’t Do Anymore

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator discusses various changes within the cruise industry, specifically focusing on five things that Carnival Cruise Lines no longer offers. The video begins by addressing rumors regarding the return of the midnight buffet. While the creator clarifies that a full midnight buffet is not returning, he notes that Carnival is introducing a minimal late-night food offering instead. The discussion then shifts to historical cruise activities that have since disappeared, such as skeet shooting, topless sunbathing, driving ranges, and message in a bottle ceremonies. Moving to more recent changes, the creator identifies five specific service and entertainment shifts. These include the discontinuation of twice-daily cabin service, the end of unlimited entrees in the main dining room due to food waste concerns, and the removal of 24-hour pizza availability. Finally, the creator explains that Carnival has eliminated racy, adult-oriented entertainment like the hairy chest contest and the Quest scavenger hunt to foster a more family-friendly environment. He concludes by noting that while these changes may evoke emotional responses from long-time cruisers, booking numbers appear to remain strong.
