Carnival Dinner Menus for 14-Day Journeys Sailings

Carnival continues to increase the number of “Journeys” sailings (sailings of 9 nights or longer) offered each year, pleasing those who enjoy longer cruises (picture me enthusiastically raising my hand). And, as such, I have received an increase in messages asking about the dinner menus for these longer itineraries. I have received the following specific questions:

  • How many elegant (formal) nights will there be?
  • Will the dinner menus just repeat after the first 8 nights or will we receive a new menu each night?
  • What’s the order of the menus so I can plan for specialty nights?

While I can’t answer two out of the three of those questions with 100% certainty (because menus do sometimes vary slightly depending on ship and itinerary), I can give you an example of a fairly typical 14-night journeys cruise dinner menu lineup which will give you a pretty good idea of what to expect. And I can say with certainty that the menus will not just repeat after the first 8 nights. You’ll notice:

  • There are two “Feast” nights (both elegant nights)
  • There is one “Captain’s Gala Dinner” (also an elegant night)
  • There are two special “theme nights:” Italian and Mexican
  • The remaining menus are typical Carnival dinner menus with some “Emeril Selects” choices each night, a different entree salad offered each night, and two “everyday” entree choices offered every night in addition to the rotating appetizers, entrees, and desserts.

Here are the menus:

And with that…

Class Dismissed!
