I Gave Carnival a Second Chance... Here's What Happened

Editorial Summary

Tony from La Leo Loca evaluates his return to Carnival Cruise Line following a previous hiatus caused by a casino fee policy. During a three-day sailing on the Carnival Glory, he tests several aspects of the cruise experience to determine if his previous dislikes have changed. He confirms that the removal of the three percent fee for charging casino chips to a cabin has resolved his primary grievance. Regarding other amenities, he expresses a neutral stance on towel animals, noting they are acceptable even if not preferred. However, he maintains his dislike for the nightly Showtime entertainment in the main dining room and remains unimpressed by the signature chocolate lava melting cake. Additionally, he observes that many first-time cruisers on his sailing seemed unaware of the various complimentary dining options available outside of the buffet, leading to unnecessarily long lines. Ultimately, Tony concludes that he is happy to be a Carnival fan again because the specific policy that drove him away has been corrected, even if certain onboard traditions remain polarizing.
