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.
According to the SPAM can, it's a separate ingredient. I gots to know...
I think it has something to do with one being cured and the other isn’t.
Sounds like Carnival had a nasty phone call from CAIR.
It may have been a photoshop but I did see a picture of Spam being delivered, must have been a joke.
But just imagine how the Moslems would feel if they were passengers and the only food was pureed pig parts.

Not a fan of tabasco. I’d rather have chilies or spicy seasonings.
I wonder how many different varieties they have now.
Thanks. Looks like they don’t make the jalapeno spam anymore? I bought a can and it got eaten before I got a chance to try it. :(
Why am I suddenly hungry?
I saw that, but, that isn’t what the can I bought looked like. Not sure what to think.
Unless there is stock footage of spam cases on a ship that the news crews used, there was indeed Spam dellivered. They might not have used it, buy it would have to be better than the hot dog spegatti that one of the passengers was talking about. What do they have against Spam?
I would have eaten Spam. Had it as a kid and don’t remember what it tastes like but I would consider part of the adventure.
Besides, what would be the big deal if they did serve Spam?
There is also Garlic Spam. Although I have only seen it in Guam and Saipan.
there’s a line in Dawn of the Dead (1978) where Roger says of Spam “don’t knock it, it’s got it’s own key”
I love Spam!
