No More Chocolates?

[Cruiser1547228475]

DW always collected them and brought them home as a reminder of the cruise.

 

When i finished them told her it was time to book a new cruise to get more.

 

Now what will we do????????

 

You could buy mine ! I've got about seven years of em in the freezer.

 

Gonna sell em on Ebay !:D

Just got off the Triumph this past week....had chocolates every night!:)

[cathyz]

We had them on the Paradise last week too.

Yeah, I never cared for the taste of the Carnival chocolates, but my daughter always beamed like she was a princess when she saw them waiting for us. I love Andes, but Princess Picky hates mints. She prefers cookies:

 

Picky eating is a failure on the parent's part. You should make her sit down and not eat anything until she eats those mints. Even if it means starving her until she finally breaks down and eats the mint out of shear desperation. ;)

 

(I'm like a thread hijack machine today. I'd apologize if I wasn't so amused by myself.)

 

(And the cookies are good too.)

Just back from the Valor on Sunday and sorry to say, no chocolates on your pillow!! We did get the ship's pins though. Also no captain's party with free drinks just reduced price drinks. There was a farewell party on the last night with free drinks. It was not well publicized and held in the smaller theater. There was just a listing in the paper but no announcement for it.

My kids like the chocolates, but our steward has always been fabulous about leaving them cookies, I hope our upcoming Tirumph cruise provides us with a steward so attentive to my kids. Chocolates or not, the little extras and attention to detail make all the difference!

Are the chocolates joining the punch in never-ever land?

If so, you should be able to purchase the chocolates at the nearest bar!:p

[Celandine]

I had them on the Liberty in December, I think all but one night.

You got the pins, are you Platinum?

People over on the NCL board have been complaining about this for the last few months. Personally, I don't see what the big deal is. Chocolate and toothpaste don't mix to well, and it's not like food on the ship is sparse. If it keeps the cruise prices down, I'm for it!

 

LOL!

That would have been exactly what I was going to post...almost word for word BUT I wouldn't have thought about the toothpaste!! LOL

Very true. :D

Ha! Yeah, I often wondered if I coated her meals in chocolate and/or peanut butter if she would join the clean plate club, but the thought of chocolate covered greens and peanut butter covered chicken triggers MY gag reflex.

Peanut butter chicken isn't bad. A lot of Thai food has a peanut base, which is similar. Chocolate covered greens is just *nasty*.

I was reading over some of the Freedom reviews and a few different reviews commented that the chocolates left on your bed during turn down service were discontinued.

 

We had chocolates on the Glory 10 days ago.

 

Anyone know?:confused:

 

I sailed the Pride Feb 28th until Mar 7th and we had chocolates on our beds!!!

Sounds more like the past guest party drinks in maybe-sometimes land ;)

[BobbyD]

RCCL has stopped chocolates as well. If these chocolates cost even $.01, then the savings to Carnival is over $200,000 per year. If that keeps the cost of the cruise down, I'm all for it.

That's so cute! Do they always do that for the kids? My son is gonna be ecstatic.

[camper49]

We did get them on the sensation and inspiration the past two months!!

[bean-si]

We had the chocolates every night on the Sensation in January

As far as I know, they always do that. Just show up to the CC registration the day you embark. If you bring your son to the registration, they'll give him a little gift then too. (My daughter got a Carnival Rubix cube.)

 

The card read something like "Welcome aboard and thank you for registering with us. We're glad to have met you and look forward to having you join us."

 

My daughter felt so special to have a cookie waiting for her on her bed when we got back to our cabin the first night. :)

We had them every night last week on the Dream, I think i ate 2....just as soon as they stop them and save the money..They were cutting back on staff, a lot less people working in the buffet...I ate one morning at 7:00 and my tray was still there when I came thru at 8:30.......Dennis

[philsfun]

We got chocolates every night on the Paradise on the 2/19/10 sailing:)

[CeleBrat]

No biggie. On our last Freedom cruise, we stopped eating the chocolates after day 3. At the end of the cruise, we had a tower of them on one of the night tables.

 

I bet there are others like us, that don't always eat them.

We got them for both of our kids most nights -- they also get to color t shirts they can keep and backpacks at camp carnival, so make sure to highlight when they do that on your capers. my kids still wear theirs!

[Sparky2]

We got chocolates on our Miracle 2/24 cruise.
