Rare Honolulu Blue Posted March 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Simple question: since the start of the cruising after the pandemic, have all Carnival ships had completely self-service buffets on all sailings? Single-person perspectives are fine ("I was on the Glory in November and it was self-service"), don't need opinions on policy. Thanks in advance.

Rare sparks1093 Posted March 26, 2022 #2 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Both our sailings on Legend in November and February had self-service at the buffet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwcruiselover Posted March 26, 2022 #3 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I was on the Miracle last August and it was totally self-service except they had someone doling out the bacon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseHealing Posted March 26, 2022 #4 Share Posted March 26, 2022 We sailed on the Carnival Horizon on July 4, 2021. It was the first Carnival ship to sail out of Florida since the pandemic. The Lido Deck buffet was all self serve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ledges1 Posted March 26, 2022 #7 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Freedom and Valor self service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsfan58 Posted March 26, 2022 #8 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Carnival Cruise Nuts just got back from a fantastic voyage. Self service Buffet all the way except for the Bacon which the Buffet attendant served. Only had Bacon on two days; the remaining days were ham and sausage. Everything was Fun-Tastic!!!

Rare Honolulu Blue Posted March 27, 2022 Author #10 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Thanks all. The crew guarded the bacon on my last Carnival cruise also (Breeze, January 2020). Small question, so I'll ask it here instead of starting another thread... last I heard Carnival was only serving bacon in the buffet every other day due to shortages. Is that still true or has that gone away? Thanks again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundloop Posted March 27, 2022 #11 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I've now been on 5 cruises since the restart (just got off of Spirit this morning), and all were pretty much the same. I'd call the buffet lines "mostly" self serve. On each cruise there were a few items which stayed behind the plexiglass guards and a server put them on your plate...... some of the deserts for instance, and of course bacon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been a fan of Carnivals bacon so I didn't miss it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ledges1 Posted March 27, 2022 #13 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Bacon in MDR is their best effort. Bacon on the Lido deck is limp and dripping with grease. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other mornings they served ham and sausage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNcruising02 Posted March 27, 2022 #15 Share Posted March 27, 2022 On the Mardi Gras during the cruise I was on, they did not have bacon every day. They did have it often though and it was good. A crew member served the bacon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of this info is still valid I got off the boat Friday I did see Bacon everyday BUT it was kinda ends and pieces (some pieces were REALLY thick like ham and some thin the way I like) they had Sausage patties only and Bacon. The bacon was NOT self serve and it was like pulling hairs to get more! My kids were walking around with plates full so I get it There was ham, benedict (with ham) and patties but NO Sausage links (Im a link fan) Edited March 27, 2022 by KyloRen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
