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

And with that…
Class Dismissed!
