Creator's Key Takeaways

number one is the platinum and Diamond boarding area out when you're first boarding the ship years ago it was a small room just had two desks in it

there used to be toiletries in the bathroom there used to be soaps and shampoos and moisturizers

mince on the pillows when you come home from dinner you had your turn in service by your room server and you would always find Carnival mints on your pillows

free 24-hour room service so when I first started cruising many years ago room service was completely free and it was 24 hours a day

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check the current room service hours and menu before your cruise
Plan for longer wait times at bars due to reduced staffing
Consider booking a 7-day or longer cruise if you want lobster night

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

Carnival Cruise Lines has made many revenue saving cutbacks over the years…. And as late as last week… In order to make more revenue. From cabin amenities to entertainment to dining room service and food, cruising on Carnival Cruise Lines ship is always changing and looks very different in passenger experience then it was just a year ago…. Let alone over the many years since it’s inception by Ted Arison, when he started Carnival in 1972.
