Are you willing to pay extra for food on a cruise?

One reason a lot of people enjoy taking a cruise is the all-you-can-eat concept that they offer.  Most cruise lines provide all meals and snacks as part of the initial costs of jumping on-board. (excluding liquor, damn)

(the steak-less Carnival Triumph)

However, Carnival Cruise Lines are kicking around the idea of introducing a 9 ouncer filet mignon or an 18-ounce grilled prime rib chop for an extra $18 per pop!  The three ships with this new propostal will be on the Carnival Paradise, Carnival Triumph and Carnival Inspiration.  Why?  Each of these ships don't have a current $30-a-person steakhouses that the other Carnival ships do have.

So, are you willing to pony up for some steak on a cruise line?   Not me!
