Indianamale Posted May 24, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I was just wondering if they are back to serving bacon every morning on the buffet or is it still every other day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted May 24, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 24, 2022 It's still every other day, and now that folks are used to it, probably forever. Although Carnival would never admit that! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indianamale Posted May 24, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I figured that was probably the case. I don't understand why they just don't say that. It's not that it's a dealbreaker for me I just don't like the way Carnival has handled it. Thanks for letting me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be missing something here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kona_wahine Posted May 24, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I went on a more expensive line a couple weeks ago and there were MOUNDS of bacon every morning, all you wanted. But it did come at quite a bit more money…. Lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just mean by blaming it on supply issues while every other cruise line has it. I would think that they use the same suppliers. I also said it's not a big deal, I was just wondering. I know other people who have been on different cruise lines and I asked them and they said never a issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted May 24, 2022 #7 Share Posted May 24, 2022 It is a shame. I'm not a big bacon eater to be honest, but I do like it from time to time. And I always seem to guess wrong when I go to Lido for breakfast if it's a "Bacon on vacation" day or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuxieloaf Posted May 24, 2022 #8 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I don't like bacon or even meat at breakfast for that matter. No big loss for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT1962 Posted May 24, 2022 #9 Share Posted May 24, 2022 On my early May cruise, bacon was only available every other day and was on the back of the buffet where it had to be served by an employee. Ham was out for self service the first few days, but also moved to only be served by an employee half way through the cruise. All other items were self-serve, so it seemed obvious they were trying to limit the amount served. They also had bacon below the counter at the omelette station so you had to ask for it specifically, but it was available ever day, if you knew to ask. All other ingredient options were on display. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info. I like Carnival and all of my cruises have been on Carnival and I'm sure that I'll continue to take Carnival cruises but I just wonder why this seems to be a Carnival only problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing at Guy's too - bacon hidden below the counter. If you ask for a pig patty, it's like you know the password to get into the he-man woman hater's club or something lol. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to guess, it’s about cost at this point more than supply issues. My local grocery store had issues with keeping bacon in stock six months or more ago, but that has not been a problem in a while. Of course the price went up 50% or more now. Carnival probably saw how much money they saved by only serving bacon every other day when there was a shortage in decided to just keep the policy in place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ray98 Posted May 24, 2022 #16 Share Posted May 24, 2022 This place is classic. Post a topic on the most popular breakfast meat in existence and get dismissive comments about "I don't eat meat" and "I don't eat breakfast".😅 7 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilovesailaway Posted May 25, 2022 #22 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I usually grab a breakfast burrito at Blue Iguana. I believe I read on here that bacon can be had in the MDR for breakfast every day though. That's a guess on my part as like I said I'm usually on the lido with a burrito (cool rhyme lol) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine how long that would take to eat there now since they are having staffing issues which I understand but maybe they should lower the passenger capacity .
