MIAMI — Carnival is implementing an a la carte pricing policy for just about everything on its room service menu.

Carnival has been making the move to the a la carte price structure over many months.

Many items had already switched over to new pricing grid but some light options including several salads, sandwiches and desserts were still free. Starting in mid-January everything will have a price tag – with the exception of the continental breakfast.

In a statement to USA Today the cruise line said it was making the move in part of cut back on food waste, and said it was committed to continue offering many free food options across its fleet.
