Carnival backdown

CARNIVAL Cruise Line has put its plans to “cut back on free room service” on hold, according to a USA Today report.

The news follows the cruise line’s recent announcement that it would start charging for most items on its room service menu, which has since come under “heavy criticism” from customers.

Under the changes, items that used to be free such as a variety of salads, sandwiches and desserts would come with a charge ranging from US$2 to $5.
