In late January of 2026, Carnival introduced an updated “everyday” menu in the main dining room (MDR). Items from this section of the dinner menu will be available, as the name implies, every day of every Carnival sailing regardless of the length. So, what changed?
Those who haven’t cruised on Carnival recently may be thinking, “wait, didn’t they always offer salmon?” No. The salmon option was dropped from the most recent version of the menu. But good news for seafood lovers: It’s back! And early reviews are overwhelmingly positive! Here’s the updated menu:
This updated menu will be offered on every Carnival ship.
I always buy travel insurance to cover my cruises, but I never purchase it through Carnival. It costs more and usually covers less than policies you purchase on your own. I go through sites like travelinsurance.com* to compare plans and prices and get the best deal for the coverage I want. It’s a simple process – just enter your travel dates, total travel costs (airfare, cruise fare, hotel, etc), and a few bits of information about yourself and see quotes and read reviews. Spend less on insurance and spend more on excursions, special onboard cruise experiences and…future cruises!
