Drew B 58 Posted September 19, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I’m currently on Panorama and I noticed the following options are no longer on the menu for sea day brunch: • chia seed pudding • aft burger • cantina burger • Mediterranean salad • salmon super food salad - signature tower • brunch spaghetti • fetuccini They added a “brunch burger”, a lox and bagel option, and “assorted ice creams” dessert. I was very disappointed, as my top choices I was excited to try were the signature tower and the salmon super food salad. I’m sorry if this has already been posted. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mz-s Posted September 19, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 19, 2022 It's such a shame as sea day brunch was one of Carnival's best included dining experiences. It's still good but definitely not as good as it was even a few months ago. Carnival has seriously diluted their product since COVID. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew B 58 Posted September 19, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Oops. I missed two more items that were cut: • pancetta scrambled • frittata They added turkey bacon and corned beef hash. They also added shrimp and grits and a crab and avocado sandwich to the paid options and took away the peel and eat shrimp and garlic crab (both available from the seafood shack) from the paid menu. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanmarcosman Posted September 19, 2022 #7 Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) Turkey bacon and corned beef hash have been sides on the brunch menu since its inception. Our biggest disappointment has been the substituting of the same lousy strip loin served at dinner as the "steak" for steak and eggs instead of the excellent and always delicious petite filet mignon. Sad, very sad. Edited September 19, 2022 by sanmarcosman 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm disappointed (and my oldest DD is going to be even more disappointed than I), I like to learn about the recent cutbacks here, so that I can get the disappointment out of the way before Embarkation Day. When I came back to CC a few weeks ago in preparation for our next Carnival cruise and started reporting some of the rumoured cutbacks to my family, DD20 said "I don't care, as long as they still have the chia seed pudding". She seriously loves that stuff. I don't know if I have the heart to tell her about it.😢 Edited September 19, 2022 by ShakyBeef left out a word 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stand at/near the front of the MDR and stop one of the bar waiters working brunch to order your drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mz-s Posted September 19, 2022 #12 Share Posted September 19, 2022 The shrimp and grits are typically served on the first night of cruises leaving from Charleston at least. It's good. I don't really think it's worth paying extra for though. I really don't "believe in" paying extra for food on a cruise. It's a shame they've cut the menu like they have and reduced hours at Sea Day Brunch. I wouldn't be surprised to see it go away altogether before long sadly the way Carnival is being ruthless with the cutbacks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moviela Posted September 19, 2022 #14 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I miss the blueberry pancakes. They hit the spot. and you didn't need to get there before noon. If you arrive after 11:30 they pull a face. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really should be called Sea Day Breakfast nowadays. 11:30 is still breakfast to me on vacation anyway. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change is good. They didn't remove anything that will be missed. Looking forward to trying Emeril's Shrimp and Grits - think that will be a winner. Too many people are stuck in a rut. Glad Carnival is shaking thinks up. Looks like they added corned beef hash back - that was a favorite of many. Turkey bacon has been available forever and they still have real bacon! So has some form of salmon. The kid's mozzarella sticks are still available. Proof of age not required. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanhawk Posted September 19, 2022 #17 Share Posted September 19, 2022 It's been about 6-7 years, since my last cruise, due to a variety of reasons. Plan on changing this soon! Everything will be new to me, so I'll be happy to order anything! Even from the kiddy menu, if they'd let me-some people like to "get in touch with their inner child-but some days, I feel like I have a whole kindergarten"!! 😬 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm generally opposed to upcharge a la carte items and surcharge restaurants onboard, but I'll pay for oysters on the half shell at Seafood Shack and would probably try this for $6. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember how much I liked it, so, I guess my answer to your second question is: unmemorable.😐 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
