Carnival And Royal Caribbean Make More Food Changes That Will Cost You More Money

Editorial Summary

The creator discusses recent changes to dining policies and menu items implemented by Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise Line, specifically focusing on lobster offerings. Royal Caribbean is conducting a beta test on the Symphony of the Seas where passengers must pay a fee and an additional gratuity for a second lobster tail. The cruise line is also transitioning from Caribbean lobster to northern Maine lobster, which provides more meat and claw options for dishes like bisque. Carnival has implemented a policy where guests can order two entrees free of charge, but must pay five dollars for each additional item. The creator suggests these changes are a response to rising food costs, complex logistics, and global supply chain issues. While noting that these shifts might cause frustration among passengers who are used to unlimited dining options, the creator concludes that cruise lines are attempting to proactively manage costs and food waste to avoid more drastic, forced changes in the future. The video suggests that other major cruise lines may eventually follow these trends due to the economic climate and the high cost of seafood.
