🍊 Complimentary Juices Now Limited
Traditionally, Carnival provided a variety of juices at no extra cost during breakfast in the main dining rooms. However, the current policy now limits complimentary options to orange and apple juices. Other popular juices, including grapefruit, pineapple, tomato, cranberry, and grape, are now subject to additional charges when ordered in the dining rooms .
It’s important to note that guava juice remains available at no extra cost in the Lido Marketplace, but it is not offered for free in the main dining rooms .
đź’¬ Passenger Reactions
The change has elicited mixed reactions from passengers. Some express understanding, acknowledging the alignment of dining room charges with those at the bars, where these juices have always incurred fees. Others feel that the reduction in complimentary options diminishes the value of the cruise experience, especially for those who enjoyed a variety of juices with their meals .
