Carnival Cruise Line will add variety to its main dining room offerings over the next several months, with nearly 60 new entree presentations on rotation fleetwide.
The enhancements are now being piloted on Carnival Dream, with a fleetwide rollout this fall.
CCL says that in consultation with Chief Culinary Officer Emeril Lagasse, who was appointed in December 2022, the culinary team has evaluated every aspect of the fleet's main dining room offerings.
New main dining room menus will include offerings from Carnival's popular specialty dining restaurants, so more guests may experience the wide variety of food offered across the fleet - and be encouraged to try them out.
Carnival chefs are also addressing larger portion offerings for certain entrees, along with additional vegetarian options and entrée salads.
The CCL move comes in the wake of Royal Caribbean International making changes to its MDR menus, putting more emphasis on 'themed' meals and removing the 'Classics' section of the menu.
With many loyal cruisers somewhat resistant to change, the RCI MDR changes spurred plenty of comment and controversy. Further tweaks appear to have calmed the waters somewhat.
It's likely that CCL will review feedback from guests aboard Carnival Dream and make adjustments as necessary before rolling out to the entire fleet.
