whispy94 Posted January 6, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hi all, Last year my wife and I took our very first cruise on the Carnival Legend and found the bacon served in the buffet to be the thin crispy US style. It was ok but not the best. We are going on a second cruise this coming March on the Pacific Jewel and are wondering if because the Jewel is permanently based in Australia do they serve Australian style bacon? Its a "big" issue for us [emoji6] Happy cruising Sent from my GT-P5210 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaznjo Posted January 6, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 6, 2016 When we cruise we ask for English bacon.... Generally comes softer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozziepost Posted January 6, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 6, 2016 There is generally both crispy and English style bacons on offer in the Buffett. Personally I don't like the crispy style as well a lot more greasy and not very appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted January 7, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Haven't been on Jewel for a while. But last time I was they had about 4 types of Bacon. Labeled American English Canadian And just Bacon. If you can't find the sort you want ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted January 7, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) I cannot handle that American style NUKED streaky bacon on Princess, I asked how they cook it, can you believe it is deep fried. On Aurora/Oriana recently, lovely Danish bacon was served, lubbly jubbly. Just don't get me started on the Horizon Court 'coffee.'

I probably know it by some other name. But I only get whatever Miss or Mrs Gut buys, far be it from me to have any say in such things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danish bacon, not available here to my knowledge, but very popular in the UK, hence P&O have it on their ships, very similar to our best bacon here. Not a lot of fat, nice meat and you cook it medium, not nuke it. I am a bit of a bacon freak, I normally buy the shortcut bacon from Aldi. But suffering now with my gut, excuse the pun Mr Gut, too much festive ham in the last couple of weeks, think I have been eating bad ham in the last few days, out of the fridge, in the bin, won't even give it to the garbage bin on 4 legs, the Labrador. Are the Easter eggs in the shops yet? Edited January 7, 2016 by NSWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly she only married me to make me miserable:eek:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tigerlily75 Posted February 29, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 29, 2016 As I discovered on a recent trip to the USA, Carnivals "American" bacon was not representative of bacon in America. It was actually pretty good in real life! I hated the stuff on the ship, they did have English style though too on the Spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted February 29, 2016 #11 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I like crisp bacon but so far I have not found any that is edible on a cruise ship, and that's over three different cruise lines: Princess, RCL and Celebrity. However it is better than Aussie hotel bacon. Somehow hotel chefs have mastered the art of turning the meat parts of the bacon to cardboard while leaving the fat white and limp.
