Carnival Cruise Lines: No 'Spam-cation'
upi ^ | Nov. 11, 2010

SAN DIEGO - Carnival Cruise Lines said Thursday although Spam was among the food items delivered to the stranded Splendor, the canned meat was not served to guests.

"Despite media reports to the contrary, Carnival Splendor guests were never served Spam!" Carnival said on Twitter.

The U.S. Navy Tuesday delivered food items to Splendor that Carnival ordered in the wake of the ship's four-day shutdown after an engine fire. Photos of Navy helicopters dropping crates of Spam sparked the term "Spam-cation."

"We gave our food order to a supplier, not the Navy. The Navy kindly delivered the goods, (and) Spam was not on the list," Carnival spokesman Vance Gulliksen told USA Today.

What, those who can afford a cruise in these days of economic crisis are too good for Spam?

They’re complaining because they have nothing to do and the bars are closed. Sounds like a perfect time to have a Spam Carnival. Make it a game. Have fun with it. Let the chefs go wild and present the passengers with buffet of every kind of Spam dish imaginable. Geez, do these people not have any imagination?

I want to thank you. I had no idea there was a Bacon Spam product on the market until you posted your pics. I love Spam in all the other flavors and now have something to look forward to eating.

In Korea (South) SPAM is considered a delicacy. True. Your name sounds Korean.
