No Bacon on buffet

I find a little humor in the Buffet area being more relaxed. The noise/commotion/line cutting ( I forgot to get this) , but OK.

 

Looking for a table , which can be an issue.

 

Another factor DW “hates” buffets. “Happy wife, Happy Life” comes to mind.

 

By relaxed, I meant not so formal.  I've never had a problem with line cutting.

You are 1 lucky person, there hasn’t ever been a time when we did go that someone hasn’t cut in line at breakfast..

 

Now it’s MDR or I get us coffee at buffet.

Kind of hard to grow just bacon.

Other people.  To me, it's not that big of a deal.

As I said above, it's not that big of a deal if someone forgot something and wants to step in and grab it.  I'm retired and on vacation.  I've got all the time in the world to let somebody get in line to grab a banana or a carton of milk, I guess I was raised to be tolerant of other people.  (That and really good blood pressure medicine.  🙂 )

My thing is that I rarely notice other people enough to remember the problem. Although, I REALLY don’t care if someone missed something. Need some butter since it’s nowhere near the bread? No problem. Go ahead. Want an apple? Grab it. My life has enough stress in it. I don’t need to add other people’s behavior to my list of issues. 😂

Some people really take this whole "Cruise Critic" thing to heart eh? 🤷‍♀️ 

 

For me, any day on a Cruise Ship and not at work, is ahmazing!  My worst day on a ship is better than my best day at work 😂  I am NO 5-star chef (heck... I'd probably rate myself a 2 at best) but anytime I don't have to prep the food, cook the food, serve the food, put away the left-over food, and do the dishes... hallelujah! 

 

I'd probably have a jammer if I ate bacon EVERYDAY.  I think I will survive if it's only every other day. Plus, every other pig will thank you 🐷 😄

Exactly!  And factor in the fact that what I have been paying for cruises lately is less than what I would pay to go out to dinner every night - I will gladly forgo the bacon.  BTW, I do not forgo the bacon because I usually eat breakfast/brunch in the MDR every morning where it is always available - why more people don't take advantage of this is a mystery to me!

Same reason they don't have straws anymore, cost savings...

 

Oh, they have straws, alright, and those gnarly sugar straws probably cost more than yer basic plastic straws, even when purchased in bulk.

On our December 2021 Cruise there was ample bacon on both sides of the Breakfast Buffet and even at the small convenience station! I guess Bacon Rules. 

[syesmar]

@jskinsdDo you eat breakfast at the same time each day? I wonder if you’d be able to ask the server or whoever puts in the order for the bacon in advance if they could have X number of pieces ready for you at that time? I imagine not having it out and ready cuts back on waste, given how expensive it is right now in many places. Just a thought, I’ve done this with sour cream b.c. They were expecting me. Good luck!

The Bacon has been placed on Bacation to every other day, as Carnival states there is a shortage.

Have a Bacon Day!  

And yet I had bacon every single day on Royal. No shortage there.

Is this the time we all gather around in a circle, hold hands and say we shall overcome?

Can't sing puff the magic dragon...that leads to craving more bacon.

Celebrity and Royal cancel cruises and bacon is magically available on cruises they don't cancel. Coincidence? Maybe not 

[lennythenose]

On our October cruise on the Dream we had bacon every other day on the buffet. Last week on the Breeze it was not on the buffet at all. Didn’t bother me at all. I knew where I could go eat if I did want it. Just sharing information.

Most of my upcoming cruises are on Royal. Not for the bacon but for the 4 free drinks a day for being Diamond, table cloths on the table in the MDR EVERY night, and 2 cleanings a day of the cabin. Service on Carnival has dropped quite a bit in the last 4 years. Oh, and mashed potatoes being available every day. 😍

That's great, sounds like you found your niche.  Enjoy!
