- CARNIVAL BRINGS BACK ITEM AFTER PASSENGERS COMPLAIN. Cruise lines make changes people don't like all the time. Sometimes it's big like removing perks for passengers. Sometimes it's small like a dining change. Who would have thought this change by Carnival Cruise Lines would upset people so much the cruise line is bringing it back.
Next they need to bring back the filet mignon for the steak and eggs at sea day bruch in lieu of the shoe leather thing.
DANG, ALMOST 20 cruises on carnival AND I DIDN'T KNOW THEY ONCE USED FILET MIGNON IN THE SEA DAY BRUNCH!!!.
Filet mignon over prime rib any time!
Lol.
Guys burgers needs to bring back the sauteed mushrooms never mind the fries.
The fries are changing back, so theres hope
We can do without the mushrooms
You’re right, food is very important on a cruise, and good food can make a big impact on your attitude.
I hadn't heard about the french fries but we sure missed the mushrooms on our last cruise. Happy to hear that they are bringing back the fresh cuts though.....love them!!!
Potatoes are cheap! No need to peel them. Wendy’s doesn’t. And there are appliances that will cut them quickly. No excuse to go to frozen fries.
They should bring back the sautéed mushrooms for Guys burgers as well
"food" " big thing" haha good one Don 😅
Hi Don, Looks cold. Have fun.
I'm surprised Guy didn't say something about it!!! Glad they are going back to the original way!!! Guy's Burgers are the best!!!!
They keep taking things away. Nice to see they are putting something back! Yeah!!
Our first cruise was 2004 on the Liberty and it was fabulous we actually started planning our 2nd cruise before the end of our 1st. The food was WONDERFUL, we thought what could possibly be better than this. We ate on the Lido Deck for lunches, at the Buffet every morning and five nights and in the Main Dining twice. We have gone on many cruises since and have noticed the the QUALITY of food has diminished over the years. I rate it up there with Old Country Buffet and Golden Coral level of food now. So Guys Burgers, Pizza and Deli Sandwiches or sometimes eating in Ports became a main staple on our last 2 cruses. So Yeah for Guys Burgers! Yeah for the Cruisers!
I'm glad they brought old fries back
I have NEVER seen them hand cut fries at Guy's on Carnival pre-pandemic.
I wish PRINCESS would add Guys Burgers to there ships. Since the restart of cruising the burgers and fries are not even able to be eaten.
Sometimes you have to put your foot down. First it was BACON, then sauteed mushroom, then omelettes. So yea French Fries are the last straw.
I ate an omelette almost every morning in the MDR on Mardi Gras in February. Hopefully it’s not gone
Hi Don, I was în the food distribution business for 45 years, frozen fried are typicaly 2 to 3 times more expansive than fresh cut fries and skin are left on, they do have to be handled a little differently.
Agree good food is important while cruising
Yes, food and entertainment are big things on a cruise.
It is a lot of work to make fresh cut fries, but they are sooo much better!! I'm glad Carnival brought them back!!
Those fries are good. I'm glad they are bringing them back. Id like to see that style of fry on more lines.
How about mushrooms and peppers for the omelets? Or bread bowl for the pay clam chowder or the tandoori?
I can understand how folks miss a special treat such as guys fries- it’s something that I guess they look forward to them. It’s like Royals raisin bread, to me.
Loved the fresh cut fries!🥰
People pay a lot of money for a cruise and then the food is cut. Glad the people got their fries back.
Fries are a big thing! I remember back when McDonalds had fresh cut fries, while the burger was just a burger, the fries made the meal. Today we have generations that are just now experiencing fresh fries and falling in love with them like we did.
i remember when they went to vegetable oil from animal fat for their fries. smelled better and tasted better with lard.
I enjoyed the fries they had.. the fresh ones. Heck no to those frozen. They really pissed me off when they took the sautéed mushrooms off the Guys toppings bar.. I often would just get those yummy fries and top them with everything. But since covid they took away the mushrooms, which gave Vegans a way to enjoy something from Guys
The only thing that I would put on my Guy's burger were the sauteed mushrooms. NOW they need to bring back the omelets that are actually what the customers want. She is upset that she can no longer get one with spinach.
I wish they would bring back salmon as an everyday item in the MDR (restaurant)
I’m not sure the fries would keep me from sailing carnival but glad carnival listened and put fresh fries back on the menu.
I was on Carnival last month and whatever fries they were using were very good. I witnessed people order fries only. An interesting thing I didn’t notice; when looking on the hub app for options they do not list guys as an option for lunch or even the availability hours. I found that to be interesting.
Good for Carnival 🎉🎉🎉🎉
They have used those other fries for much longer than just a few months. I believe since Covid, they changed this. Good that the fresh ones are coming back
People who say they wont go are lying to them selves. As soon as they compare prices on NCL and such, they will be back.
I want to know what they were doing before Guy's came around because their burgers were still pretty good before Guy's. I remember going back to the 90s I was still getting fresh cooked burgers from the lido grill.
Yes. I always choose my cruises based on the french fries.
I agree with needing to get the sauteed mushrooms back. I don't eat French fries at all.
Fresh cut fries are the best!! You don't have to peel them unless you want it that way.
Shows that if enough people give negative feedback it might make a difference.
Who has room for fries when there’s so much other yummy food to choose from!
My son loves Guys Burgers and the fries. I lost count how many he ate. Not quite as many self serve ice creams he ate but close. Looking forward to a January cruise on Carnival. 6:22
We don’t like fries with the peel on them.
I so agree with special food items and ways of serving that add to a cruise and if you take away too manyoptions that a cruise was famous for...no good. The cruise price including elevated fast food is what Carnival is known for. I want to see at the very least place mats back in the main...it just bothers me not to have a clean cloth over a fast wiped table when you open your silverware in the dining room!!!...I think this huge venue would get back to what it was...still a fine dinner with a certain well prepared tasty hot level and done well enough quality, Though not as fancy as other mainstream and premium and deluxe lines...it was still very good and may choices..that were maybe pieces of a good shell fish over a whole big shell fish but still very good...maybe a lunch size sirloin over a T-bome but a nice little steak and extra for fancier cuts. And the one more special prime rib and small lobsrer night. They put just a little mpre shine on the table and say no to the baseball hats and scruffy unhemmed holy jeans...still keep it Carnival Casual it is but a but more class and comfortable proper behavior raises up the reputation and comfort and lessons lousy behavior even on the short cruises.
Sometimes cheap is not the way to go, ppl do notice and will complain
I prefered the old venue before Guy's. The fries were not seasoned. Now I have to get fries at the buffet or MDR if they have them.
I do wish they would bring back the flat iron steak in the MDR the strip loin is horrid.
Miss the bread bowls they used to have .
Thankfully, fries are not the deal breaker for us.
Reducing the number of Ships (Princess) we will welcome next season could be.
May consider flying to destinations and holidaying for a week instead of a cruise.
I know cruisers who say Guy's burger is the main draw for cruising with Carnival. Never been on CCL personally, but first it was the hours available then it's the fries next could have been the bun or meat used if no one complained.
Guys fries at the beginning were very good. They were also doused with tons of spices and the last two cruises there were hardly a sprinkle on them. Disapointing. Actually I’m surprised that they pay any attention at all to the reviews and comments! They never reply back with an acceptance nor an apology.
Ok Don, you are in Ontario so you know of Harvey’s. They used to serve fresh cut fries. I hadn’t been in a Harvey’s in years, then when out on the road doing my sales trips one day which was also many years ago I stopped into a Harvey’s in Brontë ON. Got. A fry, went out to the car,opened the bag, THEY WERE FROM FROZEN! It was so sad! I marched back in and said what’s this? They’re frozen! What happened to real potatoes!? I rarely went there before as I said but I maybe go there once in a two year time span. It was Sad to learn Canada’s favourite burger chain cheaped out.
good to hear Carnival is listening
Great snack idea. Get an order of fries at Guy’s then go to the condiment bar add shredded cheese and chili over the fries and bingo you have chili cheese fries. Yummy
Funny, I never noticed the change,. Who goes to Guys for the fries??
Give me ‘bad’ fries. The real problem with Guy’s is the burger - it’s a smash burger. The only reason you might need two hands is because of the amount of vegetables. Size matters.
I don't have a problem with frozen fries. Most restaurants are using them and there's no problem.
I do miss the sauteed mushrooms, which have been removed.
They changed the Guy's fries a long time ago.
too funny!!!....In my humble opinion, fries are fries as long as you don't get FLIES with the FRIES!!!!..
commercial kitchens use machines to peel and cut. it's not like in some old movie about WWII where soldiers were punished with potato peeling duty. Come on, Don.
Enjoy Iceland!!! Was there last year on cruise and it is beautiful ❤️
French fries are loved word wide. McDonalds made is reputation of fries as well as Balthazar an upscale French restaurant in New York. The curse of the MBA strikes again. An ambitious corporate analyst ran a spreadsheet and found that going to frozen fries would save thousands perhaps millions a year.
I would have never known! 😂
Don there are mechanical peelers! You can’t believe that frozen fries are hand peeled can you?
I've never had this. I do like the specialty restaurants though.
French fries are the hill some people will choose to die on... 😅
Chilly, windy....foggy....3 words I never want to hear during a cruise. Hence why I never head north from Baltimore.....
TRY CANADA-NEW ENGLAND OUT OF BALTIMORE IN THE EARLY FALL. YOU'D LOVE IT. WE ARE GOING AGAIN THIS FALL. CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY "BEAVERTAIL" ON AGAIN!!!!....
I don't peel potatoes for fries. Would be no food waste if they tried that. Not sure if people would be mad.
You'll be there for PRIDE fest. 8/6-12. They have one of the best festivals in Europe. btw. I'll be going there on the 12th. Looking forward to your Iceland videos.
frozen fries are actually one frozen item I dont mind. They taste fine and are usually more crispy
It's 8:00 PM here
Now I am making french fries!!
It's "THE REVENGE OF THE FRENCH FRIES"
and if you are a fan of the pyschodelic rock band Spirit from the 70s , you will really know what I mean.
Haha don't mess with the fries.😂
I only cruise at all just to eat guy’s burgers. We need the fresh-cut fries.
Algorithms and bean counters are the bane of the world
On a similar note, on our last cruise on Conquest, they switched out the lemonade machines to a ' newer model' and the lemonade was watered down everywhere. Several others complained and they said they 'adjusted' the mix, but it didn't help.
Well, I complained to every officer I came across and many said they we're getting complaints from other cruisers too. The hotel director then told me they are switching the machines out on all the other ships as a 'corp decision', even though they had reported about complaints from previous sailings. Time will tell...
DONCHA hate WHEN THEY WATER DOWN THE "juice"??..
Are you watching for Northern lights, active storm the next few nights.
Nice of you to cover this even though you avoid carbs.
Latest update from Iceland weather office for Augus 2 (got google to translate from Icelandic, they haven't yet updated the english version)
TLDR: The National Weather Service's response plans consider that a magma run could start at any time in the next few days and even end in an eruption. If the sequence of events is similar to that of previous eruptions, the warning may be very short.
"en vedur is" is the english version.
Just checked eartquaque map. Most of the recent earthquakes are just northwest of Grindavik town, well south of Svartsengi/Blue Lagoon. Those earthquakes indicate where magma is pushing through rocks to find a way out. While this is not 100% reliable, the odds seem to be on eruption happning south of Blue Lagoon (and thus down) so Blue Lagoon should be safe especially if you come from the north. However, winds could still push sulfur gases over and that would close it down. Of recent spat of eruptiosn, a coupe lasted only a coupe of days and some lasted a couple of weeks.
You don't have to peel potatoes to make french fries FYI
I wish Carnival would bring back the original pizza place. It was better than what they have now.
that does it going book carnival now the French fries are back.
I don't think I'd not cruise on a line because of french fries. 🤣
I prefer the fries from the deli not as greasy.
Guys Burgers, ummmm, fresh cut fries are the best! ⚓️
Wasn't it years ago that they switched the fries?
On the Disney ship, it would be chicken fingers. I have them every time and they’re absolutely amazing. It’s like they’re the purest chicken breasts ever it’s not like that mechanically separated stuff and so it’s funny chicken fingers or chicken strips on Disney or one of the best foods you can get Until they change them from chicken breast to mechanically separated, chicken like can get at some fast food places there would be an uproar and riding in the streets lol
Like the fresh cut better
I'm waiting for this to happen on NCL. They don't put out cookies in the buffet anymore, you have to ask for them and they will go get some for you. Or you can wait until midnight for them to put it out in the casino or book a suite or a Haven Suite and they will gladly give them to you.
Would never go on Carnival anyway🤮
Love my french fries!!!
Don you call that a vacation? Windy cold ,foggy no thanks that is a waste of money,you could have been some place warm and sunny, I hope you don’t get sick,your immune system isn’t all that great! But I hope the weather clears,stay well! I also have never had any food from guys burger or fries ,it is to salty ,the burger is way to big not good for people who have high blood pressure.
Love Iceland!!!! Have visited there. Let me know if your tour takes you to the "LittleForest", it's a tourist attraction. Everyone goes to the "Blue Lagoon", which will surprise you as it has geothermal power plant at the sight. You don't see it in the photos, but it's so interesting. Also my granddaughter is a US/Icelander dual nationalist. Little tidbit of info, all the heating in Iceland is geothermal.
Love fresh cut french fries
I don’t care about the weather I still wish I was there. It’s hard to get hot French fries on the buffet. I still like them. I’m not a foodie.
First off CARIBBEAN Princess in ICELAND..,how ironic...
Secondly, I wasn't a fan of the fries at Guy Burger
Hi Don…again. I’m tired. Isn’t there more important things to B*t*h about. Go to the premier dining restaurants if the included ones aren’t making you happy. Come on people. You’re on a cruise…
Yes they're going back to the fresh cut fries and the confetti cheesecake. So now we need to work on the mushrooms at guys burger
Holand americas Dutch cafe is fries royalty of cruising! Right up there with high tea. ❤️
Good to know. I'll definitely check them out.
Good Morning Don
Not a fan of Guy's foods, but I understand cruisers wanting the real fries back.
Yea, fresh cut fries are really better.
Leave the peels on, like 5 guys. Wash, soak, cook once and then cook again.
That is nice that they brought back the fresh cut fries
French fries with the peel are very appealing.
