Those who have enjoyed ordering from dinner menus in the main dining room on Carnival ships that have remained virtually unchanged for the past 300 years (that’s an exaggeration, but only a slight one) will be crushed to learn that NEW dinner menus are rolling out soon across the entire Carnival fleet. Read on for the details announced today by Carnival President, Christine Duffy.

Carnival to Test New Menus on the Dream this Summer

Starting this Saturday (6/17/2023) on the Carnival Dream, testing of all new menus in the main dining room will begin.

How will the New Carnival Menus be Different?

The new menus were created in collaboration with Carnival’s Chief Culinary Officer, Emeril Lagasse, and will incorporate feedback from passengers. The menus will include:

  • Nearly 60 new rotating entrees
  • More offerings from specialty dining restaurants across the fleet
  • Bigger portions for certain entrees
  • More vegetarian options
  • An entree salad (described as a big salad with a protein)
  • Carnival Journeys sailings will offer more variety

What will NOT change on Carnival’s New Dining Room Menus?

Fan favorites such as Carnival chocolate melting cake and bitter and blanc will live to see another day at sea (until they are devoured by yours truly in under 2 seconds).

When will the New Carnival Menus be Rolled out Fleet Wide?

The new menus will begin rolling out fleet-wide this fall after adjustments are made based on passenger feedback. So if you want a say in the new menus, you better book the Dream this summer!
