CRUISE COMPLAINTS - Baked Beans Ruined My Carnival Cruise

Editorial Summary

The host of La Lido Loca examines a passenger complaint from a Platinum VIP member on the Carnival Dream regarding the presence of baked beans at the breakfast buffet. The passenger argued that serving baked beans is a sign of bias against American cruisers because the item is not a standard American breakfast staple found at establishments like IHOP or Denny's. The host evaluates the validity of this claim by noting that many other buffet items, such as bagels, croissants, English muffins, and French toast, also have international origins. He suggests that the argument that international foods make a buffet un-American is weak. While the host initially considers the complaint ludicrous, he introduces a different perspective regarding potential bias. He points out that while international items like baked beans are available, a quintessential American staple like bacon is not served on the buffet every single day. He concludes by questioning if the lack of daily bacon might be a more significant indicator of bias than the presence of baked beans, though he admits this may be an extreme interpretation.
