There are two things I say that really date myself. First, “I remember cruising when there were midnight buffets.” And second, “I haven’t been awake on a cruise ship past 9pm in years.” So while I personally won’t be taking advantage of Carnival’s new complimentary late night snack offerings, I know many will. Many who have grown frustrated with long lines for pizza since Carnival eliminated other complimentary late night dining options. Well the night owl’s have spoken! And the beards (as John Heald, Carnival’s brand ambassador, refers to the decision-makers at Carnival) have listened!
So, without further painting myself as a boring old woman, out of touch with the modern-day cruiser (I’m sure no one reading this needs to be further convinced), here’s Carnival’s new late night snack menu. This menu will be served in the buffet area and will compliment the late-night pizza offerings. Available times will be ship and itinerary dependent, so be sure to check your ship’s “Fun Times” schedule on the app or via the paper copy provided in your cabin.
And with that…
Class Dismissed!
